About the host
Hosted by Erin Cowden
David & Erin manage Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm, a country inn situated on 3,300-acres (which neighbors The Bend House). The lodge opened in 1989 and it is family owned and operated.
Why they chose this property
The comforting seclusion of the mountains, forests, fields and streams truly set this property apart. A 165-acre estate ready to be explored. Outdoor activities abound with hiking, biking, trout fishing or simply relaxing by the pristine swimming hole.
What makes this property unique
The 360 views of the Blue Ridge Mountains can be seen from every window of the house. The screened in porch in the backyard is the perfect place to relax. Lush gardens surround the house where you can find hydrangeas and other flowers blooming.
