Vibe

The

Calm, quiet, and intentionally refreshed. One of the older homes on the property, the house feels new again after a full remodel, finished in a clean white-and-gray palette. Furnishings are simple and modern, with plenty of natural light and soft views of the pines throughout.

The sunroom looks out over the tree line—an easy place for slow mornings or winding down at night—while rocking chairs on the front porch invite you to sit and stay awhile. Tucked closest to the pine plantation and grazing cows, the house feels private and peaceful, blending modern farmhouse comfort with deep rural quiet.

As a working family farm, you may occasionally see tractors, hear farm equipment, or catch the scent of livestock—part of everyday life here.

If the cows are grazing nearby during your stay, feel free to enjoy them from a distance. Please avoid feeding the cows and do not touch the electric fence.

Exterior & Surroundings

The King Mary House is an early-1900s tenant home, smaller in scale and more intimate in character, shaped by the lives of those who lived and worked on the land.

Named for its earliest known residents, King and Mary Vinson, the home honors their role in caring for the surrounding farmland when it belonged to the Davis family.

Our family’s connection to the Vinsons is a personal one. Randy has fond memories of King and Mary, and we are honored to carry their legacy forward through the continued care of this home.

Thoughtfully restored, the King Mary House offers a quiet, grounded stay that reflects both the history of the land and the people who helped sustain it.
