I booked this place for my daughter and her boyfriend to stay while visiting us instead of a hotel, so all they got was a beautiful farmhouse that was clean, quiet and comfortable. But if you stay here, take advantage of the amenities! It's on a working farm with chickens and pigs, and you can get fresh eggs and sausages for breakfast. Relax on the porch and
The farm is located in a rural, wooded area that is a beautiful place to get away from the everyday, busy grind. There is a deck where you can sit on warm nights to listen to the crickets and other night insects, as well as look up at the beautiful, star filled sky. The apartment is small and does not have much in the way of privacy if more than one person, or a couple with a child were to stay there, but it is quaint, clean, and a perfect space for a single person, or a couple. The farm is nice to experience with chickens, sheep, pigs, cows, and turkey. You can also purchase farm fresh foods to take with you when you leave. Overall, i really enjoyed my stay at the farm and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a stay that is unlike most others.
