Midwestern Charm

We were in for a wedding and needed a spot for my family of 6. This beautifully maintained home worked perfectly for us! There's a pond thats packed with blue gill, crappie, and bass and adorable barn cats to keep the kids busy, a patio to enjoy the night sounds of the country and the house is adorable. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing and Tranquil

An inviting farmhouse with lots of character and history. This property has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. There’s lots of little extras and special touches throughout the home that makes it warm and inviting. The pictures throughout, showing some of the rich history of the home and property, are a nice touch. The amenities and appliances available are more than adequate. The home is meticulously clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to plan and cook if you’re staying in. The property itself is pretty and surrounded by woods and farm fields. This makes a nice setting for viewing wildlife. The barn cats love to greet you when you’re outside. We loved chatting with the property owners. Wonderful, friendly, and helpful couple. They provide a personal touch that you just don’t find anywhere else. We enjoyed our stay and are already booked for another stay!!

The perfect fit!

Our family of 6 stayed at Doc's Farmhouse and loved every minute of it! We came from Colorado to visit family and friends and this rental made us feel right at home. We were able to use the full kitchen to cook and eat as a family. The laundry was a God-send and the overall favorite was the outdoors on the property. Our kids ran around outside all evening the first night and loved playing hide-n-seek once it got dark. With 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 elementary age active kids, it was all the perfect fit for our family.
