History – This house is located far in the back behind the oldest house in the area (Hillcrest Manor – circa 1890), which was owned by a local farmer who had 4000 acres of land (we now live there). In the woods behind the guest house is remains of a even older house from the 1600’s.
Relax in Hammock
Back Porch
During the 1940’s , the now Wild Life Management Area land (WMA) was used to raise prize bulls winning the international championships in the 1940’s .
The owner of the Manor house and farm owned the amusement park which used to be in Chester, WV. He was said to gave birth to the town of Chester, WV as he purchased the land in the 1800’s.
Also, located on which is now the WMA, was the famous Hillcrest Apple Orchards , where many came from afar to pick apples and taste cider up until around the 1970’s.
The area described which was the old farm and orchards, will be your backyard while you stay in the manor guest house. You can explore this historic land as public access anytime day or night if desired , when you stay.
