2nd Family get together here

The farmhouse has welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces for a small family reunion. So nice to have a huge deck, a furnished kitchen, a washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms. The king size master bed was super comfortable. We used all the ac units and fans. We did not run out of hot water. Having a full size fridge beats the hotel suites. Thanks so much!

Charming Cabin

The property was lovely. Lots of good space in the home and good exterior space as well. Our kids 6, 4 and 1 had a absolute ball in the upstairs loft and in the backyard with the creek.

Great Memories Made

We enjoyed spending time with our adult children and grand child in your rustic and historical but very well updated cabin. We loved all the extra touches (Christmas decor, laundry, toiletries, blankets, and kitchen supplies). It was nice to slow down and have some good old fashioned fun playing games and doing puzzles.

The Bee's Knees

We had a great stay at the "Bee & Barb." The house was exactly as described and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it is old house, but it has a lot of charm and character. The deck was particularly impressive. The property owner was very responsive and accommodating. Some minor quibbles: we could not get the TV to work with our kids video game console. We wish there was a bigger dinning table. We could fit everyone, but it was a bit tight especially with all the food spread out.

Wonderful hidden gem

My family and I stayed here so we could attend my uncle's service and burial. This house has an incredible unique charm to it and the owners were very responsive when we had questions. We loved every part of this house and if we are back in the area we will definitely stay here again.

High school Fishing

This property was great! Just enough space for 2 fishing teams (1 coach & 2 students times 2!! ) Parking was best for 1 tuck & boat in the driveway. Only issue was street parking was not wise with boat-in-tow, so the yard was utilized for the 2-nite stay. Took care not to mess with the grass as best they could. All in All, pleasant stay & would book again if fishing brings us back. Thanks!!

Beautiful and Cozy Historic Cabin

The cabin was so charming and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Just loved how everything was updated, especially the master and both bathrooms. We didn’t end up needing the upstairs single beds. It would be perfect for children but definitely need space heaters up there during the winter. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!!!

Great Stay!

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy restored farm home. Natalie is amazing with communication. We were a last minute booking and though there was some issues with VRBO communication, Natalie was wonderful in helping resolve. Only recommendation is the upstairs extra sleeping area does not cool off quickly & is hard to regulate temperature. If you do not need the area(like us), it would not affect your stay. We will be back when we come to this area again!

A wonderful stay!

The property was very inviting and well kept. I loved the privacy of the backyard and the back deck. We spent most of visit enjoying nature from the back porch. I think it'd really add to the property to have more seating/tables back there, especially considering it's such a large back deck and such a beautiful view. But I don't have any real complaints about the property. It was perfect for our honeymoon weekend, the extra heaters provided kept us warm and toasty, the house was clean and well maintained, and the host was responsive and accommodating.
