Such a wonderful experience!

This was our first time in the area. The property was beautiful. The hosts were so welcoming and lovely. We all had fun and enjoyed the bunnies, turkeys and deer on the property. Such a wonderful experience and we cannot wait to return!

Another great visit

We returned for another spring break visit 2 yrs after our first trip and enjoyed it just as much. Kids loved playing outside and seeing all the flowers, bunnies, birds and turkeys and we loved the peacefulness. The cottage was decorated for Easter which gave it a nice touch and kids loved the plastic eggs and bunny ears. Another great family retreat and already looking forward to the next one.

A true gem if you want something special

Staying at this place is one of a kind. A short stay will already give you so much in recharging your batteries. It is peaceful, beautiful, quiet. We enjoyed seeing all kinds of birds and bunnies and wild turkeys, as well as playing records in the evenings while playing board games or watching movies by the fireplace. The charming kitchen made me think of the simple life and daydreaming about nature and what really matters. Our 7 year old enjoyed exploring by the two ponds and around the fruit tree orchard. It is a place where we will always want to come back to when a time out and a reset is needed. Many thanks to the gracious hosts.

Beautiful and Unique Stay

This was definitely one of the coolest VRBO stays we’ve had. Strolling Julian and coming back to this adorable farmhouse in the Fall was magical. Apple and chicken pot pies, wine on the porch, old records playing inside, walking around the beautiful property and playing board games in the gorgeous barn with swaying string lights at night….it was a perfect getaway. Our teen and college kid enjoyed it as much as we did. The hosts were lovely, can’t wait to go back!
