Peaceful
This farmhouse was a great place for our family to stay and relax while visiting other local family over the holidays. We had a party of 6 and there was plenty of space to both do things together, and have our own space at times. Feeding the horses was a highlight!

Fantastic location and very cozy
We loved this place. It is in a perfect location for us and the house is so cute and cozy. It was comfortable and spacious enough for our crew.
Had the feeling of being at home. Although the house was close to town, you felt you were by yourself with not a lot of noises and interruptions.

Family weekend
Lisa was a wonderful hostess and we really enjoyed her beautiful farmhouse. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to enjoy our weekend. The property was close to town but a taste of country with horses welcoming us in and out of the property. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for hosting a large family breakfast. We will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and Convenient
Lots of room. And lots of rooms! Essentially there are two dining rooms and two living rooms. Super location feels out in the country but is very close to town. House is 100 years old so the floor isn't perfectly flat and the upstairs doesn't have high ceilings, but it is comfortable! Lots of space for games and two TV's should keep everyone entertained.

Great stay!
Wonderful country property. Tons of seating room, games, owner is an absolute sweetheart. Bring your own pillows if you are pillow-picky. Well stocked kitchen and house has so much history and such a wonderful groove/feel.

Lovely farmhouse for our family gathering
The home was just the perfect place for spending time with our daughter and granddaughter, as well as meeting up with family that live in the area. The bedrooms were comfortable and there is more than enough room to just sit and relax. The views from every window are beautiful and the horses were a huge hit with our granddaughter. The location is close to the grocery store and downtown yet you feel like you’re in the quiet countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to relax or to gather with family and friends. We look forward to visiting again.
