Stay in the villa where the story's etched in stone

Book our villa. Invite your village.

Want more home in your next holiday, family gathering, work retreat or group vacay? We transformed a centuries old stone farmhouse into a spacious villa designed with togetherness in mind. Work remotely. Enjoy the gaming area. Find peace in the private, rural setting. Gather around the glow of the gorgeous indoor/outdoor hearth at the heart of it all. Our little slice of heaven is just off the beaten path (right up the road from the atv trail).

The villa offers enough beds for twelve people and three additional pullout sofa beds. There are also two additional sofas, two loveseats, four recliners and air mattresses can be made available for larger groups.

Falling in love with this amazing place? We totally understand.
Ask about our special wedding packages which include exclusive rental pricing for the villa, cabin, barn and our sprawling acreage.

Christmas in October
Property managers are great, very accommodating and helpful. Loved the autumn colors and secluded property with plenty of room to enjoy both inside and outside for my extended family of three generations. Highly recommend for extended family or business events.
