House has been updated and restored. That being said, it is still a 150 year old farm house. Embrace the rustic ambience and you will have a great time. The surrounding amenities (grounds, playground, greenhouse, etc.) add another level of enjoyment. We plan to return for a weekend in the Spring when it is a little warmer and we can fully enjoy the outdoors.
