Find peace and tranquility in this home, built after 1898, that’s rich with history and nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was once part of the summer homes surrounding the former historic Buena Vista Springs Hotel; a hotel that served as a retreat from the city life for the affluent socialites of DC, Baltimore, and surrounding areas that included vice-presidents, senators and the like. In 1933, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson spent the night as an honored guest in this very house. You, too, can be a part of history when you choose to call this your home!
