The space
The Fisher family, who reside on the Amish farm across the street, are the proud owners and caretakers of this charming residence. Originally constructed in 1840 by early settlers seeking to establish themselves near Martinsville Village and Beaver Creek, this two-story dwelling was crafted from creek bed stone and surrounded by farmland. The rich soil, plentiful timber, water sources, and wildlife helped the settlers thrive.
Notably, it is one of the few surviving structures from the area's earliest days, with the original well still standing beside it, thoughtfully safeguarded to prevent accidents.
During the 1890s, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company laid tracks through the villages and farms using eminent domain. The route remained active for nearly a century until its removal in the 1980s. The land was gradually returned to the farming families, and the Stone House's property was the last to be repurchased this year. The bridge supports in the creek behind the home and the graded earth where the tracks once lay are a reminder of the railroad's presence.
In the 1950s, an extension containing a kitchen and dining room was added to the Stone House, and in 2020, it underwent a complete renovation. After serving as a private vacation residence for two years, it was purchased by Isaac and Linda Fisher.
The Fishers extend a warm welcome to visitors and are available to assist with any needs that may arise during your stay.
Guest access
Guests have access to the property except for the nearby sheds. Beaver Creek is also accessible during times of low water but please be mindful of the steep slopes and slippery rocks. If the water is high or running fast please do not attempt to ford the stream. Fishing is allowed if you obtain a Pennsylvania fishing license. Please always be vigilant and take the highest safety precautions.
Other things to note
Bedrooms 2 and 3 on the 2nd floor are small as this is located in the original stone house. The Master bedroom has ample room.
From time to time, the Fisher family may need to access the basement of the home. However, the egress is outside so they will enter from the cellar doors and leave you undisturbed.
In addition, locals will sometimes fish on Beaver Creek. The bridge serves as a public access point. They will remain on the creek and not enter the property. If there is every a problem, please let us know.
