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.

This place is very rustic and overall not very clean but for the price and the number of people that can stay it is fabulous

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.

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.
