Avis Historic Bland-Overall home on 305 private acres

We are repeat visitors to this beautiful historic property. It is the perfect home away from home nestled in the peaceful, relaxing countryside. Hosts are amazing and go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay. We hope to visit again soon!

Wow, where do I even start! We had an amazing time! We were in town for a baseball tourney and enjoy creating experiences for our children! The wildlife rescue was so beautiful - the work this team does is simply amazing! Even had the team over for a cookout and enjoyed a family wiffleball game in the front yard! Loved every second of our time! Thanks so much!

So wonderful to stay on this peaceful property out in the country. It feels so special to stay in a home with such rich history. The old trees and birds chirping in the morning was the best thing. One of my favorite places! Thanks so much Jeff for opening your home and this special land to us :)

Very unique property. Very well kept. Jeff was a great host. Left us a detailed list of places to see and go to. It’s a great quite get away. Highly recommend if your looking to unplug and get away.

Mary and Jeff Key were wonderful! The house is better than pictured. We chose this property due to the proximity of our sons Elizabethtown Ripken baseball tournament. All six of us enjoyed every bit of Glendale and the house! We slept remarkably well. Our son’s teammates visited, we grilled and kids played wiffleball. We had a fantastic opportunity to visit Mary and the Nolan wildlife rescue several times during the week. The Rescue was actually a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend staying here and having the opportunity to meet Mary and Jeff. If we have an opportunity to return to Glendale, we will circle back and meet up with the Key family. Thank you for having us!

Our family came into E-town for a baseball tournament for our oldest son and stayed at the Bland-Overall house. Jeff and Mary were incredibly accommodating and thought of all the details for our stay to make us feel welcome. The house and property were amazing! Our family’s favorite thing was the Nolin River Wildlife. It is a must see while staying on the property. The seclusion and quietness were such a treat for our family. The boys played lots of whiffle ball in the front yard and did a lot of fishing. I definitely recommend this property!

We had a lovely stay! This beautiful, historic house has the feel of a comfortable family home, with beautiful views of the countryside from every window. Mary and Jeff were amazing hosts. We have already booked our return visit.

We stayed in Glendale for our sons week long baseball tournament in Elizabethtown. It was a perfect escape after each day full of games. The house was charming and the land was so peaceful. We even had the entire team over for a cookout and all the boys loved being able to play some whiffle ball and see deer in the yard!

I cannot say enough about this property or it's magnificent owners. This place is as authentic as it gets. The property's rich history is fascinating. The story of its origin is endearing and extraordinary..... And I have yet to speak of the home and property itself. It is exceptionally secluded and about as private as you can possibly get. You can equate it with being on an island. One in which the owners have gone to great detail to think of everything you could need. If you want to enjoy a true escape this is it. A perfect place to have as much space as you desire with its large yard and surrounding property including the Nolin River which runs right through it. The home itself is genuine, authentic and true to its rich history and the heritage and era in which it was built, but with all of the modern day luxuries we have become so dependent on.... Though while here you may begin to question just how much you really need them vs. how much these things interfere with living the way that we could and should. This brings me to the owners, which again I can not say enough about. The Keys live the life people like me have dreamed to live for a long time....they live right, they pride themselves on doing good by others and giving of themselves to the world around them. A visit to their wildlife sanctuary is strongly recommended. I assure you that when you depart you will be changed and it is for the better, young and old alike. This property would not be the same without them. My family and I have already starting talking about annual family reunions on this property that had such a lasting impact on us all. Thank you J & M Nothing short of an epiphany for me and my family. YOU INFLUENCED A CHANGE IN ALL OF US.

This property is more beautiful in person and the pictures do not do it justice. You HAVE to see it in person! The ceilings are tall and the hardwood floors are gorgeous. If you're a history buff, this is a place you will love! We were welcomed like family when we had the opportunity to meet the host Jeff and his lovely wife Mary. Not only did they leave a beautiful basket of snacks for us, but they invited us to their wildlife sanctuary where my 6 and 4 year old fell in love with the baby deer, raccoons, and squirrels. Jeff and Mary showed us around and my father was in heaven with the farm and history of the property! I cannot tell you all of the great things about this property and the people who own it. I cannot wait to go back!
