Above and Beyond Expectations!

Semi-Annual women’s weekend get together The farm experience of the Highland cows, chickens, land, and the knowledge of our host Brooke and her family was truly admirable and inspiring. The VRBO accommodation was beyond expectations with perfect decor, original art (we bought an amazing painting), equipped more than we have experienced, comfortable beds, and cozy warm patios. Highly recommended!

Family get together in the mountains

We had a great stay at this location. Our kids had a blast playing and eating s'mores every night. Only reason for not leaving 5 stars is the well water is a little smelly.

Family Getaway

We had an amazing week at the house. So quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax. The house was perfect for our large family and the kids loved the tree house and play structure. Our favorite part by far was the farm tour and taking walks to visit the cows.

Wonderful getaway

What a great place to stay. Spacious rooms that are very nicely decorated. Very comfortable beds. Lots of little extras, and lots of room outside to play with a play structure and treehouse for the kids. You might even see some wildlife. Excellent interactions with hosts, quick response. Would recommend to any families or friends that want a private get-a-way.

Amazing acreage getaway

It was better than I imagined. Hot showers, comfy beds and everything we needed to cook delicious meals. We had s’mores over the campfire which was a new experience for our our young kids. Loved our stay. We’ve already booked our next getaway to come back. I was super impressed and there wasn’t a long list of things to do on the way out so that made it a smoother transition home
