Five of us came back to stay again. Much relaxation on the deck. Beautiful view this time of year - there must be a million shades of green. Beautiful grounds and spacious house. We would like to return again.

There are no words that can describe how amazing this property is. The hosts have thought of every detail inside and out for a an exceptional experience. There’s a Firepit with supplied firewood at the top of a hill with a Mountain View, (and another pit right off the deck), a hot tub, an expansive deck with a grill, a gorgeous pond, and the use of a golf cart to enjoy all the beautiful acres this property boasts. Inside is a wood burning stove and a really well stocked kitchen with great appliances. If you go, you also need to check out the rail trail for great hiking right down from the property. It runs along a stream and beautiful scenery. The house is extremely clean with very thoughtful touches and amenities throughout. It’s also spacious. The host is very responsive, accommodating and you can tell he cares about people enjoying this property. I’ve been to many VRBO’s but nothing as nice as this… in every way. If you’re looking for paradise, you found it.

Beautiful home in a picture perfect area! We had so much fun feeding the sheep and Candy, the llama. You could easily stay the entire time in the home. But there are plenty of quaint towns and shops nearby. Marcus and Beth are communicative and caring hosts. You will enjoy your stay!

The five of us friends had a wonderful long weekend stay. All the amenities are plentiful. The landscaping is beautiful. We loved the sheep and llama. The surround towns had some great shops. The area is very picturesque. Communication from the owner is great. All and all a fantastic experience! We have already booked our next trip back to visit again.

The home was lovely, but the property was AMAZING! Marcus and Beth have done a fantastic job with the pond, the bridges, the gazebo, the fire pits. The hot tub was wonderful, although we only used it a few times. The sheep and Candy the Llama were fun to take care of! The fireplace made the house so cozy. We were close to Dorset and Manchester, so a few days of shopping are worth the visit!Thank you Marcus and Beth for letting us enjoy your little Dancing Barefoot Farm!!

A peaceful piece of heaven – we didn’t want to leave!Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We loved the warm, inviting house, the gazebo, pond, pastures, and the peaceful silence without phone service — perfect for truly relaxing. The sheep were a blast especially the babies, the rams, and Candy the llama. The night sky was stunning — so many stars we never see at home. We can’t wait to return!

Perfect Retreat!

Our family stayed at the farm over MLK weekend and had a wonderful stay! The home is absolutely beautiful and very private. It had everything we needed and more. Our dog came with us and enjoyed exploring the property and taking walks on the nearby rail trail. We would highly recommend Marcus and his home - we hope to be back soon!

Marcus was an absolutely amazing host. My Dad has some mobility issues, and he made every accommodation to help us make the house user friendly for Dad. We loved the beautiful deck, with all the comfortable places to sit and watch the sunset - and the hot tub - great addition! The sheep are charming, and for those who like to get involved (like me) its a really fun way to get close to the farm life. Absolutely loved every minute of our second stay at Dancing Barefoot farm - I'm sure we'll be back again!
