Accommodations: Farm, 4 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Enjoy a unique, private country vacation with your family. With this farm stay you have the experience of farm living without all the hard work! Observe farming and livestock maintenance by Amish neighbors and off site owners while you relax in the main farmhouse......all to yourself.
Approaching the 1866 built farmhouse from the country road, you will pass a windmill powered pump for the Amish family across the way. The drive down the wooded lane to the farmhouse will provide you with a glimpse of our goats awaiting your arrival.
Your first view of the house is of the spacious furnished porch with great northern exposures. The cozy yet open living area is equipped with TV connected to DVD/VHS player (no local or satellite service to the house) The main floor guest room, decorated with antique furnishings is just off the living room.
The Kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and a gas stove/oven set within local Amish crafted beautiful cabinetry. Original wood flooring in the the kitchen and dining room. All cookware, dinnerware, cutlery, and glassware are provided. The downstairs shower room is finished in tiles, converting an old pantry into a full room shower with modern Moen shower fixture. LG Washer and dryer are just off the kitchen.
The steep original stairway leads upstairs to the three bedrooms and an over sized bathroom with a walk in closet. The bathroom is furnished with a cast iron stand alone tub and vintage pedestal sink. Soak in the tub while gazing out the window upon birds and farmland.
The entire house has been renovated with new electrical, plumbing, heating and septic systems while maintaining the original wavy glass windows to the main frame. Ceiling fans have been added in the living room, master bedroom and porch. The shade provided by the hard maples, oaks and black walnut trees surrounding the house naturally keep the home cool even on the summer’s hottest days.
All bed linens and bath towels are provided to accommodate one queen bed, one full bed, one full size futon, and two twin beds. Hair dryer, iron, ironing board are also provided.
Take a walk down our street past Amish and Mennonite farms. Visit the farmers market in town on Saturday mornings or attend an old fashioned, but authentic, hay and produce auction on Friday mornings. Cook country meals with all local natural ingredients. Play with the goats, watch the Belgian Horses graze in our pasture. Watch our Turkeys forage on bugs and grass. Cook out and enjoy meals on our Amish made picnic table in the back yard. Enjoy the fresh smells of herbs and spices growing in our gardens. Buy a home made pie and fresh sweet corn from a farmer and his wife whose family has been farming their land for generations. Have a glass of Ohio wine and watch the sun set through the trees from our comfortable porch furniture, as hummingbirds feed from Rose of Sharon bushes that line our front lawn along the lane.
Nature never felt so good!

Thank you again for letting us stay at your beautiful farm. We really enjoyed ourselves. We spent the first night enjoying that awesome meal you had prepared for us with local farm goods and drinking wine together. Our second day we spent at a pumpkin festival down the road. We enjoyed some local fare, bought some apple butter and listened to some Bluegrass. The little one in our group even did the "pumpkin pulverizer" VERY FUNNY! When we got home we cooked out steaks, had a fire, fed the horses, pestered the turkeys and played corn hole. We also had a ride on the tandem bike, that was hilarious! We wrapped up the night with birthday cake for my dad's 60th birthday! Overall, we enjoyed every aspect of this place. We "breathed in" the experience and are all more relaxed because of it. Thank you for opening your house to us! PS The tub is outstanding!

Dan and Annette, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place with us. We had a very memorable time. Our five year old granddaughter loved the animals and playing outside. She had a special time trying to learn ow to ride a bicycle. We had a special time cooking in your large kitchen with our daughters. Our sons in laws even helped. We had a truly "family experience"! We hope to return one day and make even more memories "down on the farm"

Dear Dan and Annette, We thoroughly enjoyed your peaceful, beautiful, bucolic escape. Amelia LOVED the animals and the barns. We (the adults) enjoyed the quiet of the evenings. We feel refreshed and ready to return to the burbs and the city. We will return!

Dan and Annette, We had a wonderful time at Morgan Farm and we all agree it was a great vacation. The kids had a great time with the cats, bike and the swing. We also did a lot of exploring and shopping in the area. The pool at Brookside Park was a relaxing way to end a day that began with a canoe trip followed by lots of touring around. Your house is beautifull and we thank you for your hospitality.

Dan and Annette, Your farmhouse was so relaxing and gave my daughter a great taste of the country! She spent most of her time running around outside chasing the cats and just being amazed by nature. I enjoyed the stay just as much- appreciated the QUIET and also the open spaces to chase my 4 year old around. What a wonderful place you have chose, and you've made into a haven! Thanks and hopefully we will see the farm again. PS What a great place to visit with my dad and sister, we all needed a restful break!

Dan and Annette, thank you so much for sharing this amazing place with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. In four short days we were able to restore ourselves in the womb of the quit countryside. We appreciate the way you have lovingly supplied and arranged everything throughout the house to provide an experience of comfort, wonder and serenity. We hope to be back again. PS We will be sure to tell our friends too!

Annette & Dan, We love it here at Morgan Farm. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny weekend watching your goats and playing with the cats. We just returned from a great tandem ride, fun! Thank you! We hope to visit again very soon. Kim & Herb Cleveland Heights, Ohio April 6, 2008 P.S. We were constantly drawn in by new art on all the walls, and the books of past and present photography. They combine with nature and farm life outside to make you contemplate and smile. ---- Annette & Dan, Thank you for allowing us to stay here at Morgan Farms. We absolutely loved every minute of it. We enjoyed starting our day with coffee on the front porch and ending it with a stroll around the property with the cats, and tons of things in between: tandem bike ride, exploring the barn with the wonderful scenic views and campfires at night. We felt right at home from the moment we pulled in the driveway. Thanks for sharing all of this with us- it gave us many memories we will have for a lifetime. Yyson and Tricia Cleveland, Ohio April 20, 2008 ----- Annette & Dan, I had a fabulous time enjoying your farmhouse. Thank you for your hospitality and your quick lessons in fire starting and turkey raising. From one who does not eat meat, I hope you adopt your new turkeys as family. :-) Hope we do this again. Thanks, Amy Towner Cleveland, Ohio April 27, 2008 ------- Annette and Dan, We had a fantastic weekend here! What beauty. There is so much peace here, we hope to come back soon. Thank you for sharing this great space with us! Joe and Marcia Cleveland, Ohio April 27, 2008 PS Highlights: Meeting Amish neighbors, long walks, baby turkeys, food, campfire and smores, goats, stars at night. Morgans, We had a wonderful two days. Pet the horses, kids loved that. Tried feeding the goats and turkeys. Thanks for the wonderful home grown berries, just great. Good Luck, Barb, Evan, Andy and Nicko Cleveland, Ohio June 22, 2008 PS The firefly show at night was a real treat. ----- Morgans, Thank you for letting us use this place. It was very soothing. The M... Family Cleveland, Ohio 7/ 8/ 08 (child’s handwriting) ----- Dan and Annette, Your farmhouse has been the ideal meeting place for joining our family; from Arizona, North Carolina, California -this setting has made us feel like we were all at home. Our hours of relaxing and playing games could not have happened without your opening of your place. Memories will be long lasting. Dan and Cindy, Cherie and Scott Y. Bonnie Gary, Brianna, Mikayla and Julia C. Dave and Debbie L. Preston and Angie H. (Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina, California) 7/ 20/ 08 P.S. The summer thunderstorm on the porch was a super treat!
