Fall will begin next month and many will turn from the idea of a beach home to a vacation home in the mountains just west of Washington, D.C.

Mountain house in Paw Paw, WV built by Mt. Tabor BuildersSome people may ask the question, “Why would I want to build a vacation home in the mountains?” The best answer to that question is because it’s a short drive from the Washington/Northern Virginia area to the peaceful Allegheny Mountains. It’s easy for those living in the congestion to get in the car and within a couple hours, be in a peaceful setting. The proximity and cost of mountain real estate is attractive to those wanting — or needing — a change of pace.

Log home built by Mt. Tabor Builders in Clear Spring, MD“There are a lot of people from the city who want a place to vacation to or retire to,” says Willie Eby, owner of Mt. Tabor Builders in Clear Spring, MD. “They contact us about designing and building a home in the mountains, usually around the Berkeley Springs area or just north of Hancock in Maryland. It’s a beautiful area and seems further away from the city, than it actually is.”

“It’s been an absolutely wonderful experience,” said Craig, who left Northern Virginia for a mountain home with his wife. “We knew what we wanted to do when we set up a meeting with Royce (Eby) and Willie (Eby). It was a great opportunity to get to know them as special guys, as both human beings and craftsman.”
