About this property

Secluded mountain home; explorable acreage; free of noise and light pollution

The farmhouse sits almost one mile off of US Route 220 with the nearest neighbor being a half mile away with 150 mostly forested acres to explore with old roads, trails, and a mountain stream . Three covered porches include a spa, grill, and porch swing. An elderly neighbor does walk the property for exercise as has been his routine for 25 years but is very respectful of guests and maintains guests’ privacy.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat
What a treat! Our family had a wonderful stay at Balm of Gilead. A magnificent setting with a stream running right out front and mountain view. We were so comfortable with plenty of room and everything you could imagine you might need. Wonderful area to hike or just sit on the porch and the hot rub was nice too. We hope to return before too long and again next year for the Maple Festival!

The beauty and serenity of the home location could not be any better. The owner has made it very home-like with comfortable furnishings, lovely fall decorations and immaculate cleanliness. It truly is a place where one can find peace and solitude.

Fall Colors Spectacle
Beautiful property, well-stocked house, and functional amenities are all a part of this listing. My friends and I enjoyed a quiet weekend trip to see all the fall colors and really enjoyed the walking trails and the nearby quaint towns. It ended up raining quite a bit with the cold front that came through, so instead of the fire pit we used the hot tub quite a bit since it's under cover. It was a lovely time on the whole!

Fantastic!
This home was fantastic. The views are awesome, it’s quiet and private, but close enough to sightsee around the area. We enjoyed the porches, the hot tub, the fire pit. Family was 18-79 and all found something to enjoy. Nicole is responsive with any questions. Definitely hope to go back!

This place has become our new favorite rental. If you want to stay deep in the West Virginia forest, without the sound of distant traffic or light pollution, this is the place. The beds were comfortable, the property is surrounded by mountains with trails you can hike/run. Deer approach the front porch to graze in the mornings. We didn't want to leave and actually canceled a few plans to just relax at the farm. Also, so much history in the area. This farm is located 1.8 miles south of Stonewall Jackson's 1862 HQ, where he chased the retreating Union Army to Franklin, after his win at the Battle of McDowell during his Shenandoah Valley Campaign. The Confederate caves still exist approx. 5 miles north on rt22 and can be explored (with permission from the National Spelunking Society that now owns it). If you're interested in seeing the property, caves and the history of Jackson's route through this area, check out my video on my YouTube page "Running Into History". The only thing to be cautious of is the incline after crossing the bridge coming into the property. We took our car instead of my truck and attempted to drive slowly past one of two house near the entrance. We got stuck in the gravel. I had to reverse back onto the bridge and gun it to get up the hill. So if you do not have 4 or all-wheel drive, make sure you get speed on the bridge to get over the short hill. Other than that, our 2-wheel-drive car had no problems on the road in. The nearest house is a half mile away.
