About Fuchs House

In the late 1930s, Rudolph Fuchs built a five bedroom concrete and native stone house for his family, and also built the present wheel house to produce electricity for his needs. Power was obtained by building a dam in a semi-circle below a large spring forming a small pond. The water was to pour through a chute on the wheel to produce electricity; however, electricity arrived to the site before the wheel ever needed to do its job. The area had an undershot wheel providing power to a grist mill in the late 19th century.

Miller Family Markham Springs Trip 2021 was amazing at The Fuchs House! We come here annually and absolutely love it. Such a beautiful and historic place and we appreciate so much the caretakers and volunteers who keep this place up and running. Will continue to come back year after year as long as we can. Our kids and grandkids love everything about this place. Plenty of room for everyone and lots of beautiful nature to explore. We will be back October 2022!!

My family and I stayed here for a week and it was amazing to be somewhere so wonderful. The house was old but fixed up nicely and the view from the front porch is simply breathtaking. The Korner Kwik in Williamsville has an amazing breakfast if you like biscuits and gravy or bacon egg and cheese biscuits. There burgers are on the small side but delicious. The prices for breakfast and lunch there are extremely cheap for such good food.

The hike that starts up the bluff behind the house is really nice.

It was a beautiful and secluded getaway. The house is a gem and while it is in a state of constant improvement, the people whom have contributed their time in skill to preserve this great place are to be commended. It is not a 5 star hotel but if you love old architecture and can appreciate a giant effort at preservation this is a wonderful place. Ranger Sherman and the caretakers were very friendly and helpful. We loved every minute.

Everything about this place was awesome!!! Rented the house from Thursday to Sunday for our daughter wedding!! They are in the process of remodeling, but they made it completely perfect for her day! Thank you so much! The house accommodated our entire wedding party! We used the shelter for the reception. Everything was absolutely perfect! If you are considering having a wedding here, you have came to the right spot!!! We will certainly be staying here more. I see reunions, birthday parties and more in our future at this house!

My husband and I rented this place from Thursday till Sunday for our wedding. It was absolutely beautiful from day one! It’s also very reasonably priced given all the amenities and things included! We want to go back for our first year anniversary! There is plenty of room and sleeping spaces which was great too have!

Beautiful location, loved the spring fed pond out front, spent hours trying to catch the pike and could only muster one bite. The cabin is not for everyone and while we enjoyed our time there, the campground, and the Black river, the cabin itself leaves a little more to be desired. It relies on the previous guest leaving it clean for the next guest and while we tried to leave it cleaner than we found it, when we arrived it felt a little dirty. Would we go back? We might consider it in a pinch, the kids surely didn't have any complaints, maybe that's a better litmus test for if a place is good or not. If you need a place that can hold a lot of people and are on a budget then this is a great spot. Thankful to have places like this in our parks that we can visit.

We rent the Fuch's house every year for our family get together and always have the best time. There is plenty of room in the house for everyone. Our kids have so many great memories of The Fuch's House and Markham Springs area. They fish, go hiking, biking, boat on the beautiful pond and many other outdoor activities. The walking paths and bubbling springs is absolutely gorgeous.
