It was a super comforting home in a beautiful area. Loved all the wild life as well as the cats and donkey. Owner was super friendly and easy to contact. Feels very out in your own space but also close enough to some towns.

Super sweet farm house in an incredibly secluded and quiet location. Jill was very responsive to all of my questions and requests. Still working out the kinks with the WIFI but that didn’t impact our stay too much. Thanks Jill!!

Sweet little farmhouse

Good stay. Home is as described. Heads up, no WiFi and our AT&T did not work there. WiFi is not listed as an amenity so that’s on me for assuming. Great communication with owner.

Great stay!

Jill and her husband were so nice. From the snacks they brought to being flexible when we needed to add days. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dogs, and they loved Dexter. The farmhouse was cozy and comfortable. It felt like being at home. I highly recommend the farmhouse.

Great little house but read all the fees

Great little house, very beautiful location and nice host that left us some snacks! However, I was not aware that I would be charged 20 extra for each of my parents traveling with my wife and I, so I didn’t appreciate that. Also upstairs bedroom in the attic is hot even with the window AC unit. Don’t think it would bug kids but my wife and I found it a bit difficult to sleep. I would recommend to couples or those with kids.

End of some ole dirt road

It was so nice to find this hidden gem on our journey. Everything about this place says welcome home. The peaceful surroundings was exactly what we needed after the busyness of the highway. We would highly recommend this place if you just want get off the beaten path.

Lovely Farm

The house was built in 1898 and definitely a farm house which has been refurbished. It is located in middle of a pasture which is interesting and fun. House is not fancy but welcoming and cozy.

Peaceful

Such a beautiful and peaceful stay! My son, grand children, (10,13) fur babies and I enjoyed it very much. There’s lots of outdoor room to enjoy, and the house is clean with lots of nostalgia. Watching the donkey was a bonus! It was a very much needed peaceful stay. Would definitely stay again if out west.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay! The house is adorable, very comfortable, and Jill was a great host! Very good communication prior to our visit and the day of. Dexter the donkey was a hit! My son enjoyed giving him the treats that were there to give him, and the kitty on the property was very sweet also. We brought our dog along and she loved the property also. It was nice having the large grassy area to walk her around a bit after the few hour drive we made. All in all a very pleasant stay!
