Great property and house. Could hear bats in the attic in second floor bedroom but no big deal to my family. House is old historic and lovely. We had the best time here. Even with some ghostly experiences.

Wonderful old home with modern upgrades

We enjoyed our three day stay. The house has so much charm and character. The rooms are comfy and spacious. The house is a lot larger than it appears. The location is convenient to the major sites in Toledo.

The whole house was clean. The kitchen is amazing. It would be a great place to have thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen has 3 ovens, 3 sinks. We stayed from Thursday to Sunday. There were 8 of us. We loved the chickens and the goats. House is comfortable and beautiful. It was built in 1840.

Wonderful private, secluded home. Nearby many things to do in Toledo, Sylvania, and Dundee.

Had a wonderful stay in this large farmhouse with many updates. Kitchen all new. Stayed with our teenage kids to be nearby family at the holidays. Close to everything, groceries, restaurants, activities. Will definitely stay again!!!

Ottawa Lake home

We loved the property and the quirky historic home as well as the close location to the areas we needed over the weekend. There were only four coffee mugs and five of us there so resupplying those would be helpful. The sunroom off the kitchen was a wonderful place to gather after the memorial for my sister. We would certainly rent again.

A Germ of a Place

We were so happy with this rental. The owners were outstanding. The house was very clean and well equipped. All we needed to do is bring in some food, relax and enjoy the place. I highly recommend the rental.

Great for families

Interesting old farmhouse with many rooms for spreading out. Kitchen has been updated and has a pleasant sitting room with a couch, two chairs and a small table. Beds are very comfortable! If you plan on doing lots of cooking, you may want to take your own pots and pans--not quite enough pots/skillets, and most need replacing.

Great Place to stay for nearby wedding venue!

Beautiful fieldstone farmhouse with lots of character and charm! Plenty of room for our family of 8 to spread out! Great newly remodeled kitchen with attached sunroom made meals and gatherings enjoyable. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and well supplied with towels and paper products. Upstairs bath/shower was perfect for our smaller guests, but our family who were 5’10” and taller were more comfortable in the downstairs shower. So thankful for this beautiful place to stay for the weekend that was close to the wedding venue!

Quiet Country stay!

Overall a great stay! Host was responsive and very kind. Beautiful updates to kitchen. Generally clean, however fairly dusty especially in certain areas. Water pressure was only enough for 1 shower to be running (or only the washing machine, etc). Not a problem for our group but certainly a negative the more people staying. We enjoyed the quiet country atmosphere and having plenty of beds and bedrooms.The event barn on the property is also amazing and unique!

Perfect Place for the Guys

7 senior softball players stayed at this lovely farmhouse. Plenty of room, great space in the kitchen, dining room and sun room to sit around and talk. We spent a lot of time outside- plenty of room for horse play a corn hole. Plenty of towels and we were able to wash clothes in the basement laundry room. Only complaints are the TVs in the master and sun room are a little small for old eyes, and the shower up stairs is a little tight. If you want a nice, comfortable, charming place this is perfect. If you’re super picky and hard to please , this may not be for you. Thanks Kim!

6/10 Okay

Big property

Kim was accommodating and flexible. The house was big, it has beautiful scenery, and the sunroom and kitchen have been renovated and they look really good. The rest of the house looks okay, and better on the pics of the posting. On the other hand, the AC is not the best on the main floor, it felt warm inside and uncomfortable for me even with all the fans on. I also don’t appreciate that Kim did not follow through on something we talked about.

…

I booked this for my bridal party to stay at during the weekend of my wedding. The owner was easy to communicate with and the house was very clean but the “what we wanted” vs “what we got” was super disappointing. The listing photos make the space look much more livable than what we expierenced. The house is old. The decor was a little unusual but overall I’m just disappointed with the price. I paid just shy of $1000 for two nights expecting the pictures I saw. Unfortunately after staying I would not recommend this listing to others. This is right off the highway in an odd location and all of my friends were a little freaked out about the road not being well lit. The shower & water use is limited but there were bugs in the water jug kept for guests. The barn lights were on for our entire stay as well. The house is also FOR SURE haunted. We named the ghost Martha but it is super creepy. The lights flickered a ton and we got locked out of the back entrance after a morning walk.Overall not totatlly what I wanted for my wedding but thankful for the big space.

Long weekend near Toledo

Great place - location was perfect for Toledo activities. Enjoyed the home, which had lots of character and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Animals on farm are so cute! One of the best my family has stayed at.

Beautiful and peaceful property on a working farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! A perfect getaway from the day-to-day hustle and bustle of city life. The property description was accurate. This is an old building with a lot of character and takes you back in time, but with all the modern amenities like a fully equipped modern and brand new kitchen with modern equipment and three sinks! Wifi and TV in almost every room. Plenty of crockery and cutlery and pots and pane, if you are into cooking. A lot of open space for a big family or a reunion of friends. Multiple sitting areas and a fireplace. An additional attraction for us was the farm animals, goats, lambs and chickens, and ducks. We saw a lot of deer in the fields as well. The night bonfire was simply mesmerizing and amazing. We saw a clear sky and a lot of stars and I was actually able to take some incredible pictures of stars and of the moon as well. Great host! responded immediately to all my texts and messages. I would give the property a 5-star rating and highly recommend it!
