This was an amazing visit. The house was beautiful and the kids love the basement with the ping pong table. The hosts were easy to contact and made sure everything was going well. Even though we didn’t do any cooking on site it looked like everything was thought of. The beds were comfortable and it was a quiet area and I slept well.

Janine was fantastic—responsive, kind, and a pleasure to work with. The house was very cozy, warm, and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully prepared, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to return in the future.

The house was beautiful! We had a fantastic visit and it met all our needs. Having the garage to park the cars in and the bonus basement space for the kids to hang out in was perfect. We visited in December and it was had a gorgeous view of the farm. I can’t even imagine how amazing it is in warmer weather. We made some fantastic meals in the lovely kitchen and were able to all sit together around the spacious dining table. It was very clean and the beds comfy. It was such a great choice for our trip to the area.

Wonderful Stay

It was so nice to stay at this property. Plenty of room for our 7 member family. Loved the layout of the house. We even had a campfire one night. Nice and private too. Didn’t have to worry about neighbors right next door. Highly recommend staying at this vacation rental!
Loved the back patio with the fire ring. Was great sitting around at night. Also played games in the back yard.
