We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at the farmhouse! Everything was perfect from the lovely hand written greeting at the entrance to the colonial touches intermingled with modern conveniences. The farmhouse was not just a place to spend the night, it was a wonderful place to relax! The view from the back yard was spectacular and the pond was a great spot for family photos!
Great experience! The pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful property, and very cute, charming farmhouse. Old house but with order touches and decor. Really great price for the area, and great overall stay. We loved the fire pit too!
Host was lovely, so attentive. The house is adorable and all decorated for rhe holidays. We even had a bit of snowstorm upon arrival and hosts were amazing about clearing snow and ensuring we had power.
We traveled from Ohio to visit family, and this home was absolutely perfect for our stay. Warm, cozy, and tucked away from busy roads, it offered stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Impeccably clean, and beautifully put together to preserve its historic charm. I cannot recommend this property enough
We LOVED our stay here and plan on returning. It was six minutes from Ski Sundown. The house was clean, cozy, had everything we needed, making it very easy. It snowed a bunch and the walkways were shoveled immediately, the wood-burning stove was a treat and they even re-stocked firewood and left it by the door for us. Thank you!
Such a charming cozy house and beautiful property, it was the there perfect weekend away from the city. Plenty of restaurants and hiking 10-15 minutes away by car and the kitchen had plenty of utensils for meals in. Check in process was very easy and Jodi left a great book with recommendations, easy to follow instructions how to use any of the electronics and appliances and she was very responsive. Definitely recommend this home for anyone looking to stay in the area!
I cannot recommend this house enough. It is an amazing house on an amazing property. The thoughtfulness of the hosts is apparent in every detail they arranged. We visited for an event but are hoping to return just to spend time there. Don't hesitate booking this house.
We really couldn’t be more pleased with this stay - great location for a perfect escape to the countryside. Wonderful thoughtful host with every last detail considered. Absolutely charming and definitely historic house beautifully renovated, clean, well equipped and organized, plenty of space and facilities just as described. Thank you!

Our stay was a fantastic fishing trip—though we definitely wish it had been longer. Communication with Jodi was excellent right from the start, and she made everything so easy.The house is a beautifully remodeled, cozy modern farmhouse with spacious rooms and ample closet space. It’s very family-friendly, and the huge backyard was a highlight—we loved relaxing by the fire pit in the evenings.The kitchen is the star of the home: bright, stylish, and perfectly equipped with everything you could need. Our host also prepared all the basics for us (ice, dishwasher pods, coffee, tea, garbage bags, shower gel and more) and left a helpful folder with local recommendations and places to visit.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back soon!
Charming old historical farmhouse. It was a perfect stay for what we needed and it was very relaxing. The owner was exceptionally helpful when I needed her for something. This is a great little house to spend the weekend away relaxing. Beautiful big back yard to grill and sit outside to eat and or drink your morning coffee.I would definitely return!
I loved staying at the farmhouse! The property was so clean and comfortable. It was a great mix of modern updates while keeping many aspects of its natural charm. Jodi the host was a pleasure to meet and communicate with. My friends and I truly enjoyed the quiet and scenic location, and the relaxing feel of the house. I highly recommend the farmhouse and would stay here again when in the area.
