I stayed for a weekend while visiting Kenyon for a swim meet. The house was very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and it was close to campus. I would definitely stay again.
The Farmhouse has everything you need for a great stay. I stayed for a week and was very comfortable in this super stylish home. Communication was quick and easy, clear and easy instructions for finding and entering the house.
I look forward to returning and walking the trail that is steps away from the house. It was a little too cold for this Floridian!
Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful Getaway in a Quaint Town
We had such a great stay here a couple weekends ago. The place was spotless, had everything we needed, and the setting was just beautiful and peaceful. Loved the landscaping and quiet surroundings. The little town was so quaint — we really enjoyed grabbing coffee at Wiggins and taking walks around the Kenyon campus. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy, including the game room, bicycle riding, and walking the trails. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway.
