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.

The place is very cheap, so for that it gets a couple stars. We weren't expecting luxury, but it is definitely run down. I respect that they had volunteers working on the house, so that's part of it. The lake in front of the house was basically a swamp, so that was not really at all like the pictures. I think it's a worthwhile area to visit and if you don't mind a very old house, old house smell, etc, it's not terrible and its very inexpensive. I would equated it to camping with a roof.
