My kids, their spouse’s and 4 grandkids enjoyed the Old Log Cabin, the trails, the bamboo forest, the river and the pond. Very comfortable and furnished with everything we needed.
This place beat all of my expectations, the property was so nice that the kids never wanted to leave. Perfect for a large family or 2 families. Nice seeing deer in the back by the lake in the morning and still only 5min from town...amazing!

Judge Forsythe was born 11/26/1853. He was married to Julia Nathalie, who was born 5/14/1860, and they married 5/14/1877. They moved into the house and added a wing to it. They had one son and two daughters. James A. Forsythe Jr. (1882 – 1957), Margaret Elizabeth ( 4/21/1885 – 9/16/1886) and Ellen Harllee Forsythe Vermilye (11/4/1888 – 1/24/1936). Julia died 5/14/1923 and Judge Forsythe died in 1925. They are all buried in the Gillispie Cemetery in Brevard. Elizabeth was originally buried on the property but because of the grave being washed by rains, was later transferred to Gillispie Cemetery. There are stories and accounts of baby ghost Elizabeth haunting the Big Log Cabin, which was built on the site of the original homestead.
