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.

Great house&location. The road leading to the house was underwater when we got there, that was on a Sunday. They came out Monday and cleared the road. The house is not very clean. Floors are not mopped, cobwebs and dust everywhere. Mattresses
are different sizes than what they say on the
website and they’ve seen better days.
Overall good value for the money. Would go again.

Our experience wasn't as good this year as it was last year. The pond is an eye soar losing water because of a sink hole and ots loaded with seaweed. There wasn't a bbq pit the house wasn't cleaned. The shower know was falling off and wouldn't turn on the hot side. But I fixed that.air condition wasn't working in 2 of the rooms and a few other issues. So wasn't too happy with our stay this year.
