Skunk Ridge Farm is set in a secluded location among woodlands, a vineyard and country pastures. You'll find that it is quiet and conducive to a good night's sleep. We have two cats and a lovable mixed breed spaniel. Our decks and front porch are great places to bird and small animal watch. You may also see deer, wild turkey and coyotes.
Located on 20 secluded acres. Enjoy the swimming pool in season, large surrounding decks, and over a mile of hiking trails.
As you enter Skunk Ridge B&B, you step into the kitchen and dining area. Breakfast for one or two is sometimes provided in the kitchen or outside on the back deck. (Note: Kitchen facilities are not available for use by guests. Each suite has a mini-fridge and microwave.)
The laundry room is available for use. Check with your hosts to schedule a time.
