Fall begins soon and many urban dwellers will head west from D.C. to the mountains.
Those drives will likely lead to conversations about buying a place in the hills. That will lead to picking up real estate guides and online searches around the quaint town you just drove through. You may find that perfect cabin, diamond-in-the-rough bungalow or become a little frustrated with a lack of results. If that happens, there are other options.
Some people may ask the question, “Why would I want to build a vacation home?” The best answer to that question is because you would have a short drive to the place you want in a peaceful setting that you 
select. It’s easy for those living in the congestion to get in the car and within a couple hours, be where the pace is slow and the night sky is clear. The proximity and cost of mountain real estate is attractive to those wanting — or needing — a change of pace.
“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.”
Willie and his team have built many mountain homes and remodeled a few over the years for those liking, but not loving, what they found through a local realtor. However, if you are in the mood to break ground and watch your dream house go up with everything you’ve imagined, there is a great opportunity coming up very soon.
Open House for West Virginia building lots
Saturday September 27th is a great day to come out and tour a Mt. Tabor Builders home and three adjoining lots along Sleepy Creek in Berkeley Springs, WV. Mt. Tabor representatives will be at the location from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to talk about which lot suits your dream home best. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy a day — and maybe the rest of your life — in this quaint town, exploring this tranquil setting along Sleepy Creek. They will provide the light refreshments and present conversation to make it an awesome way to spend a couple of hours.
Vacation mountain homes built by Mt. Tabor
Mt. Tabor‘s building experts have constructed many homes over the last two plus decades. They specialize in log and craftsman-style homes, which are 
perfect designs for mountain homes. They even do their own timber cutting in house. Many of the homes are open floor plans, featuring lots of windows and large outdoor living areas.
Mt. Tabor Lead Designer Royce Eby encourages clients to bring ideas, dreams and images, so he can help 
create exactly what the client envisions. The designers can even create a digital drawing to show what the custom vacation home will look like upon completion. And while each home is completely unique, they make sure each is built with high quality building products.
Those products include Andersen Windows, Therma-Tru entry doors and GAF Shingle Systems. This all adds up to make each home air-tight and energy-efficient. Every home is engineered and built to last, because Mt. Tabor uses the highest building standards. They believe integrity in the work leads to satisfied clients and great testimonials. Here is one from Brian, who hired Mt. Tabor to renovate his family’s home on the Potomac River.
““Last but by no means least, we were looking for a construction partner that we believed had high integrity, willing to communicate honestly and directly and honor their commitments throughout what we knew would be a sometimes-stressful process. Willie Eby and is team – Mt. Tabor Builders – are, in our humble opinions, the very definition of high-integrity building professionals.”
