More than 240 years old, the Swayback Cabin was constructed in Tennessee and transported to its current location some time later.

A mossy stone path leads to a large wooden deck, which is lushly surrounded by hollies, azaleas and ivy. The Woodland's interior is bright and spacious with soaring angled ceilings.
Stone Cottage
Stone Cottage is a delightful structure sheltered by a magnificent weeping willow. Climbing English ivy, striking rhododendron bushes, and feathery evergreens soften its irregular stone exterior.
