Group of friends who loved the house and its position, amazing views. So peaceful and serene.really well equipped. Came away so relaxed after only 2 nights.
We had a beautiful time at this property. It was our first extended family getaway in 7 years and our time was very memorable. We loved that there were multiple spaces we could gather together, watch movies, play games and marvel at the stunning view! Wish there were more toilets, but would highly recommend.
the farm house is very spacious and has phenomenal views of the farm and mountains. Very well equipped and clean.We had a peaceful great time with friends and family in the farm house! Highly recommended.
House was great and located on top of the hill. The view was amazing. Perfect place to enjoy a break. Easy to communicate with the owner regarding any assistance we required. Contact number was provided before we arrived.
Would love to comeback again. Thank you for hosting us.😊

Response from VrboOwner on Feb 20, 2023
We are so glad you enjoyed staying with us and look forward t you coming back.
The property was amazing with ample spaces for a group of 8 adults to lounge around while enjoying each other's company. The views are incredible, especially for a bunch of craft beer enthusiasts who got to enjoy taking in the hop fields that were just across the valley. The house is neat and tidy with pretty much everything you need to keep a group going. We cooked numerous large meals in the large kitchen and a couple outdoor BBQs didn't go astray either. Martina was great too, all the information we needed was provided without any troubles whatsoever.Highly recommend staying here and we'll likely be visiting again next year!
A beautiful place to stay with amazing views. House was clean, well appointed and everything has been provided to make guest stays very cosy and comfortable. Spacious with the additional living space and TV area. The wood fire added to the relaxed ambience.
Excellent communication. Host /Property Manager was very quick to respond to queries.
