We Loved This Historic Home With Modern Upgrades On 338 Acres, Private Trails, and Watering Hole!
The Rich Valley Estate is a huge beautiful home on 338 acres. As an avid hiker this was perfect to be able to have peace and serenity for a long weekend away. I was able to enjoy the private trails, stream, and forest all to myself! I can really see the potential of this place. With such a large home it can fit your whole family and then some, just yourself, or a couple wanting to get away. It has an upscale feel with old world charm and custom woodwork and details that you won't find elsewhere. There's even a huge pavilion with outdoor stove if you wanted to have a gathering. I could see someone having their engagement or even wedding here. For just myself and a few friends it was more than perfect! I recommend making a picnic meal and enjoying it at the table by the private stream. It's so peaceful. I even saw deer in the field and lots of birds in the forest as I walked. From its deep rooted history, the charm of the old mixed with all of the upgrades you would expect from newly built rentals, this is a rare find. The home has all modern appliances with a full Chef's Kitchen to just the everyday things like fast internet, cable and a big screen TV even though you're in a remote location. Peace and quiet in the woods, but all the conveniences of modern life. When you mix that with the fact that there's a trail right to your own private stream with natural rock formations and watering hole for swimming, its a winner!

Beautiful home and grounds!
What a fantastic experience! This was a great location to host extended family for our son’s wedding. There are ample bathrooms and the bedrooms are spacious. The well-stocked kitchen is a fine mix between domestic and commercial and allows for food preparation for large families. The property is beautiful, with plenty of room to walk and view wildlife. Loved the charm of the home! Host was incredibly accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay again!

We were attending a family member's wedding, so this home was a perfect place (both location and accommodations) for our family of 9 to gather. There was lots of room to have meals together, hang out and visit, sit and read, and private space if you wanted to be alone. House was very clean, and very comfortable. There were a couple minor things that needed attention, but the host was very responsive to these.

Very Big House for large family get together
Plenty of space for large group and family to have fun. Took a while to figure out the rooms and the way inside the house. Game room in basement was good. It was a bit cold in basement, winter it may be too cold down there. Basement has fire place to heat it up though. State of kitchen, grill and appliances were bad. Not clean at all, some of them were not working and sometimes suddenly the appliances stop working . 3-4 rating out of 5. Improvement needed are for cleanliness and appliance availability. Finally we were the first guest group to house. Lot of good things to say about pavilion and other facilities and only thing to improve in the appliances and cleanliness in kitchen equipments!
