About
This working blacksmith and bladesmith shop invites guests to step into the craft and create something unforgettable with their own hands. Whether you're swinging a hammer for the first time or deepening your skills, hands-on forging classes offer a rewarding introduction to bladesmithing and metalwork, with instructors who are passionate teachers and genuinely welcoming hosts. Many guests describe these experiences as bucket-list moments and highlights of their travels. When you're not at the anvil, the peaceful grounds provide the perfect retreat. A tranquil pond and waterfall, flourishing gardens, and orchards invite you to relax and recharge—you're even welcome to pick fresh berries and vegetables in season. The property is quiet, well-maintained, and grassy, with level RV parking and reliable 30 amp electrical service, making it a comfortable base for unwinding between creative sessions. The shop features handcrafted items made on-site, including custom hand-forged knives, cutlery, and decorative pieces like fire pokers and dinner bells. Guests often purchase finished works as meaningful souvenirs, impressed by the artistry and quality of the craftsmanship on display. A property tour showcases the skill and passion behind every piece. Guests consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and genuine hospitality. The friendly household dog adds warmth to the experience, and the hosts go out of their way to make visitors feel comfortable and cared for. Whether you book a class or simply stay overnight, this unique destination blends hands-on creativity with quiet country relaxation in a way that leaves lasting impressions.
