Great Place for large families.

We had one of the best Thanksgiving Dinners ever. The floor plan was ideal to have groups in different rooms. The 4 bathrooms was a must for our group. We would consider this home again in the future.

Large, quiet and secluded property

Large, comfortable and fun home and property offering privacy and within driving distance of varied outdoor opportunities. The long tree lined drive is a great feature. As are the large porches. There was mention of the garage in the listing but it was locked. I would have pulled in to keep the bikes out of the rain without having to unload the bike rack but it wasn’t a big deal.

Insurance Housing

Cynthia was a pleasure to work. We needed to relocate a family who was displaced from their home and this rental was a perfect home away from home for them. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Wilkinson

Three sisters, myself being in the middle, inherited this property from our parents. They were accomplished artists. Our dad was a professional photographer for many years and our mother was a light oil artist. They designed this property as a place for the extended family to gather for holidays and special occasions, of which we did for many years. This home place has always been full of joy, peace and love. We, my sisters and I, hope your stay is as restful and peaceful as we always find it to be.

Why they chose this property

Vacationing at The Foothills Retreat means versatility. You and your guests can choose how and when you want to visit. There is space for closeness such as preparing meals together in the eat in kitchen, enjoying movies in the family room, roasting marshmallows by the firepit or playing outside with the children. Are you working remote? There's an office with access to the upstairs porch for breaks in your workday. Looking to slip away from the group to catch up on that interesting novel? There's a formal living room, patio and porch with porch swing to hide from the group for a short time. Be sure to take time to enjoy the birds, rabbits and deer as they visit too. One more thing . . . expect quiet slumber waking to a rooster crowing in the distance. :)
