This charming old farmhouse has been newly updated and sits on a working farm with idyllic views of a pond, fields, and farm life right outside it's large windows! The inside is adorned in chic farmhouse style with everything you need to feel at home!
Enjoy your morning coffee at the kitchen table or on the patio, both overlooking a peaceful pond, adorable outbuildings, and cows grazing the fields. In the winter, cozy up to a warm fire in the indoor wood stove! In the summer or fall enjoy the outdoors with a fire under a starry sky in the fire pit by the pond, or take a walk at sunset back the lane to view the large sky surrounded by open fields. The house includes everything you need to be at home, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher, washer, dryer, wifi, and tv with streaming capabilities. The main level bedroom has a queen sized bed, while the upstairs bedroom has a king size bed, and a landing on the second floor has a double. There are two bathrooms on the main level, one with a tub/shower and one with a standing shower. Upstairs, children will be delighted by the Kid’s Cubby, a nook the perfect size with toys and decor just for them.
Situated in the peaceful countryside, the property is less than 10 minutes to the nearest town with grocery store, restaurants, shops, live theatre and sites. It’s 15 minutes from various popular walking and biking trails. It is 45 minutes drive from Notre Dame and 1 hr. 10 min. drive to various beaches along the shore of Lake Michigan.
**This is a working farm with cows, chickens, and our famous friendly farm dog, Dixie who views herself as the concierge of the farmhouse. The house itself is situated beside a main farmhouse which is occupied by the farmer and his wife. There will be farm activity going on outside the main house, but the little farmhouse is completely separate and has its own drive and parking.
*Because of the steep stairway, woodstove, and pond, the house may not be conducive to toddlers or very young children not able to navigate these things. Parents use your discretion.

The Home is absolutely adorable. The property is very nice. Michelle was great to communicate with.Dixie is the sweetest and loved seeing her every day. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful mini-getaway with our kids. Even had a nice amount of kids equipment (ie:pack n play, toys, etc) which we always find very helpful! Easy communication between us & the owners. Hope to come back! And our kids loved Dixie’s warm welcome
We enjoyed staying at this cute little farmhouse! It was perfect for our mother daughter outing. We found the house to be very clean and comfortable. Also we loved all the local shopping. Highly recommend!
We had the best time during our stay. Michelle is very nice and quick to answer any questions we had. The house was everything we were looking for and more. Everything was very clean and looked just like the photos. We will definitely stay there again.
The most charming and comfortable home full of special amenities for our personal use! It had just enough Christmas charm for peace needed during our stay! We highly recommend!
We stayed here for a Notre Dame football game - it was fantastic! Not too far from South Bend, peaceful setting, clean space, comfortable beds, friendly dog, plentiful space for 5 to spread out, and great host!
The host was very responsive and helpful when messaged. The house amenities were very good. I would just say that guests should be aware that both bathrooms are on the main floor and the upstairs bedroom is accessed by passing the bed on the landing which could present a Privacy issue.
This was an absolutely enjoyable stay at this lovely farmhouse in the countryside near Nappanee. Michelle is a very nice host always staying is touch to ensure our stay went well. She even texted us to warn us about the front coming through that had several tornados in the area. They have a store cellar. Their wonderful dog, Dixie, was always there to great us....she is very friendly. And if you stay in the winter as we did, they have a very cosy wood stove fireplace that we used on several nights. Michelle provided the firewood. By far one of the best rentals that we have stayed at and I I highly recommend coming for a week or two and just chilling out in the countryside and enjoy all of the Amish places to visit nearby.
The house was absolutely gorgeous. Set up very nice. The host accommodated all of our needs including extra firewood. Dixie greeted us at the door. She's very friendly and made us miss our dog at home LOL. Next time we're in town we will definitely be coming back.
The little farmhouse was perfect for our family's stay. We enjoyed every little detail the property had to offer, including Dixie's welcoming greeting. Thank you again for sharing this gem with us!
This property was great. We were looking for something that was very much a "farm" feel and we got it! Cows with calves in the pasture, a very friendly dog and young kitties playing in the yard. The inside of the home was also perfect.
