Reconnect, Recharge, and Relax

Wake up to birdsong instead of car horns. Sip coffee on the porch while the sun rises over the pines. Take a stroll, cast a line, read a book, or do absolutely nothing at all. That’s the beauty of this place—it meets you exactly where you are.

Here, there’s room to breathe, time to unwind, and space to enjoy the moment.

My son and I enjoyed our stay at the farm. We came to watch the Perseid meteor shower but I think we enjoyed the fireflies just as much! Ms. Ann is an excellent host and cook. Jeramy was so helpful. We will be back!

A peaceful retreat. Ethridge farm is just as idyllic as the pictures suggest. It's easy to find, and Ann is a superb host. Recommended for anyone who appreciates good food and the simple pleasures of country life."

Ann was amazing. She couldn’t have been more accommodating. My cabin was ok but a little dark. Could have used more lighting but a minor issue. The area was beautiful

We had our small elopement here this past weekend and the stay was absolutely amazing. The arbor was the perfect place to have our ceremony and we absolutely loved our cabin. It was very cozy and just what we were looking for. Ann was so sweet and made the best breakfast. We cant wait to come back in the spring to use the outdoor shower in the cabin and explore the orchard/creek!
