A sweet end to our summer

There isn't much to add to all the other 5 star reviews. We agree that the farmhouse is clean and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. We especially enjoyed the rainfall shower in the master bath. I nicknamed it little niagra. The donkeys are super cute! Grab one of the brushes hanging by the gate and give them a good grooming - they will love you for it! The large pond in front of the house is deep and clear, perfect for swimming, with just enough weeds to make for good bass fishing. My daughter and I fished almost every evening. It was a great way for us to bond one last time before she heads off to college. There are tons of really good places to eat nearby. Our favorite meal was takeout from Golden Harvest Farms .

Absolutely perfect!

We rented the farmhouse so that we could be close to Stablegate Vineyard where my daughter was getting married. The house was absolutely perfect. We had plenty of room to arrange flowers and enjoy the property. Alisha and Barry were incredibly responsive to numerous texts and calls. The property is a perfect getaway location.

This is more than a house you are renting! The whole property is amazing! There is a lake, koi pond, chicken coop and donkeys too! The listing is accurate stating you will feel secluded yet not too far from civilization. That's the absolute truth and it couldn't have been a better location! Looking forward to visiting again in the near future!

Peaceful retreat

We came back to town for a loss of a family member looking for a quiet place to get stay. It was so beautiful and perfect. We reached out to the owners once for a fallen branch and they responded. immediately. Other than that we had everything we needed. We hope to come back soon. Joanna

Best Getaway Ever

My 9-year old and I absolutely loved this property. The miniature donkeys are in an area just next to the guest house, and spending time with them was the best. The house was incredibly well stocked and beautifully appointed. This was truly a ‘get away from it all’ experience. Alisha and Barry were super responsive and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Hidden gen off the beaten path

We were looking for a quiet getaway with enough activities to keep our 5 year old occupied. This property did not disappoint. The house was spacious, well-appointed and comfortable. There was plenty to do outside - interacting with the animals, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and biking, or just relaxing next to one of many fire pits. The owners were very helpful and communicative, and also very understanding when we had to modify our reservation due to uncertainty with school schedules due to COVID. Highly recommended - we will most certainly be back again.
