Fantastic space for a relaxing getaway weekend! The property and house were great, we enjoyed walking around and exploring the land, and we were really impressed with the responsiveness and thoughtfulness of the hosts.
Great getaway with beautiful surroundings. Immaculate and comfortable for our family celebration. The host welcomed us warmly. It had everything we needed. My husband loved the fishing.
We had a wonderful stay! Ted was such an awesome host! The property is beautiful! There was something for everyone to do while there! We enjoyed fishing, walking the property, and a fire at night time!
This was a great family getaway spot. It was away from the hectic city and quiet. The only diversion was the occasional visit from the cows and the were wonderful. These wer very nice accommodations for our whole extended family.
The property sits on 160 acres in the country. Beautiful setting up on the side of hill. very peaceful and quiet. Only hearing sounds from the cows, grazing near by. Alot of room in the house and Very clean. We would definitely stay there again. Our 2 boxers loved the place as well
Beautiful piece of property great property owners very nice very willing to do whatever you want to make your stay perfect great place to take your kids and have fun and keep a low-key family oriented vacation
We had a family get together over the holiday weekend and wanted somewhere quiet where we could visit.The property is quaint with great scenery and so many places to relax and unplug. We enjoyed the scenery, star gazing at night, and seeing the cows. The house was well stocked with everything you need. Thank you for an unforgettable weekend! This was the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and reconnect with family.
Staying at this quaint farmhouse was one of the highlights of our 5 day family vacation to Amish country. Some days we didn’t want to leave. We felt like we were on Walton’s Mountain. The host told us to get up to see the sunrise over the hills. We got amazing pictures of grandkids sitting on haystacks watching sunrise through misty rolling hills. The kitchen is fully stocked and there’s a grill outside. Plenty of room for 9 of us and we didn’t want to leave. Hope to go back. Thank you Ted for a wonderful experience. It’s our first VRBO experience, and doubt nothing will compare.
Can't say enough good things about this home. The setting is awesome. The house has plenty of space. We met the owner, and he was extremely polite and helpful. I will be trying to stay here any time I go to the area in the future. It was great!
This home is very secluded and homey. Very clean and owners and family members are extremely nice and caring. If you are wanting to stay somewhere in the country but still close to things, this will be great for you!
Beautiful Country location. house very well maintained has everything you need for cozy country stay. WiFi works amazing. Lots of opportunities for nature lovers or families just wanting to spent quiet time together. Dog Friendly.
The property is an actual working cattle farm. We had some great hikes walking the property. It was great to see the cattle walk down to the water hole in the morning and come back up the hill right past the house. Property was well stocked and wi-fi worked well.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, peaceful property. The house was beautiful, well stocked, and very clean. When we weren’t visiting the Amish shops, we were back at the house enjoying the peaceful beautiful landscape. It was hard to leave. We will definitely be returning.
Great start to kick off our summer!! Thanks for sharing your place for us to enjoy!! We enjoyed a nice peaceful and relaxing weekend at the farm!! We enjoyed cooking out, fishing at the lake and relaxing at at the the fire pit!! Plenty of space inside and outside the house to enjoy!! Cows came for some visits!! Would recommend to book here and enjoy!! Enjoy the little things!!
Beyond great experience! The house was cuter than the pictures could show. The land was beautiful and the walking trails were fun. Definitely would recommend for a fun trip and you could stay at the house the whole time and have a blast.
We loved our stay in this beautiful farmhouse. The home itself provided plenty of space, while feeling “together” at the same time. The property is huge, which gave tons of privacy and gorgeous views as we walked around the immediate area. It’s close enough to nearby attractions, but far enough out to be peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely recommend it!
We had the best girls weekend here with our two dogs! The house is absolutely beautiful and so well equipped. We spent the weekend cooking in the big kitchen, lounging in the stunning 3 seasons room and letting the dogs run around the property. We loved seeing the cows wander by the windows in the morning. Would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be back!
The house is amazing. The property is amazing. Our whole stay was totally amazing. We celebrated my 70th birthday there. Great communication with property owners. A great place to detox from the world, internet.and relax. All kinds of critters and at night, the stars are amazing, too. Close to Mohican State Park and fun towns to walk through.
A great country house with lots of land, a pond to fish/swim in, and beautiful views. Off the grid in just the right way. Ted was very helpful and responsive. The house was clean and well cared for. The location makes a day trip to Mohican State Park or Amish Country easy.
The home is beautiful and inviting. It was nice and peaceful. Having the outside grill was awesome. We stayed at the house Saturday night made steaks on the grill it was great. It was cool watching the cows and the babies
We really enjoyed our time here and enjoyed the serenity this place has to offer. Great opportunity for nature walks. Definitely needed to slow life down and we certainly did. The kids had the time of their life playing outside. And the cows!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better get away. Thank you for a great house!!!
This was our second time staying at this lovely farmhouse. During this stay, we had our extended family with us to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! Plenty of space for each of us, and we were able to spend more time exploring the gorgeous countryside along the property’s mowed walking paths. There is no air conditioning; however, the house stayed perfectly cool with the use of the whole house attic fan. Thank you so much for providing a great stay and a beautiful memory!
This property is definitely a get away from the real world. It was definitely an experience without AC but the weather was perfect and no one even complained once about not having AC. The house has a big house fan and with the windows open it kept the house cool at night, and during the day we were out. The property has a good size pond on it and the boys fished a lot, and played out on the property. Just sitting back and listening to nature and catching up with family is just what we all needed. The Walmart is about 20 mins away and Kroger's about 30 mins, there are a good amount of mom and pop restaurants, and Amish restaurants & markets. I would highly recommend this property
