Amy’s a stay-at-home mom—they have 3 kids.
Bryant’s an engineer by trade, but his 9-to-5 was unfulfilling.
In 2018, they started searching for a slice of Hocking Hills, and just 7 days later, they found it:
34 acres of rock formations, waterfalls, towering trees—and an old, shabby cottage. The land was top dollar for the area ($10,000/acre), but well worth it for this piece.
A local community bank gave them a land loan.
Bryant immediately renovated the tiny 1920s cottage, and Amy made it charming. Four months and $120,000 later, it was ready to rent, and with that income they could cover the mortgage.
