The space
Built in 1783 by Revolutionary War veteran Abraham Fulkerson, the home showcases the rich historic features of a frontier home in 1783 while also providing all modern amenities such as high speed internet, streaming TV services, Keurig coffer/cocoa maker, etc. Exposed original hand hewn logs cut in 1783 as well as a stone fire place that with hand chiseled stones from the same year, one cannot help but imagine what the house walls would say if they could speak.

Nestled in the beautiful Appalachian hills of southwest Virginia and sitting on the banks of the North Fork of the Holston River there are plenty of activities to escape and relax!

River access via stairs and kayak rentals are also available. Fishing is an option but you must be licensed and in alignment with all Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries requirements to fish in the river.

Some bicycles are available along with the rental as biking along the river is a popular choice for locals given the easy grade along the river.

Plenty of hiking is nearby as well including the Mendota Trail, Mendota Fire tower and the Devil’s bathtub in Ft. Blackmore. Not too far to the Appalachian Trail as well.

Guest access
Arranged with the owner, the full 160 acres can be accessed. The estate is a working farm so communication is important as livestock may be in different portions of the homestead throughout the year.

Other things to note
There is so much to do from hiking, kayaking, biking, and walking to country music museum or even sign up for a lesson on blacksmithing!!

**Be sure to ask about kayak rentals, guided fishing tours and even an authentic blacksmithing experience!!
