Built in 1920, this beautiful roomy farmhouse was fully renovated in 2004 and 2019 (plus added large additions) to include all of the comforts of home. There was also a full exterior renovation in 2019. Frog Holler was created in 2004 with loving attention to detail for the country home and surrounding gardens.

SLEEPS 10 ADULT GUESTS IN BEDS (two Queen, two Double, comfy sleeper couch). Plus 3 twin foam mattresses and complete bedding for 2-3 children to "camp-out" in the library/loft or bedrooms.
Everything you need to start your vacation off right---high quality linens and towels, soaps, lotion, shampoo, kitchen cleansers, coffee/tea bar and other goodies. You can find groceries and your favorite brands at one of the huge new grocery stores, just 10 minutes away! Enjoy strolling the gardens of organic flowers and herbs. Relax on the porch swing or rockers while songbirds flutter amongst the flowers and birdhouses. Be mesmerized by the large variety of butterflies floating from bloom to bloom. Curl up in bed on Summer evenings cool enough for a light blanket, even in July! (50's - 60's degrees at night is the Summer norm!) Just open the windows for the cool nighttime breezes and experience 'Mountain Air-Conditioning!' The Gardener's House was built in 1920 and had a total renovation to high R-Value insulation so it can stay very cool in the Summer. Plus it's passive solar to help with comfort! Although the farmhouse is Summer air-conditioned, you may feel you do not need it with the great low mountain temps and low humidity plus an attic fan to pull the day's heat out and cool the house with evening breezes. Be lulled to sleep by the night sounds of the frogs’ lullabies and the waterfall outside your bedroom window. You may even hear the mournful wail of a coyote in the distance.
Among the beautifully landscaped flower and vegetable gardens are two ponds, a large one in the garden area and another tableside by your kitchen and master bedroom windows! Be greeted each morning by Koi fish from their window-side pond. Stroll down lavender-lined paths through gardens strewn with fountains and statuary. Enjoy all the comforts of a home, not a rental. You should find just about everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.
