We had a family reunion here. The kids all had a blast exploring the property. The adults enjoyed ping-pong, board games, and checking out the town. Brandon was great to work with and made the process easy and enjoyable!

What a beautiful property! Lots of room to roam inside and out! The house seems never ending with lots of room to spread out. Everything is clean and updated. Love the labels on everything from lights switches to community fridge. Makes the stay so much simpler. The host has thought of everything!! Outside the garage game room and the barn game rooms look great for kids (and young at heart adults!) My favorite though was meeting Gary, the duck and the resident chickens. We had a great week and would definitely recommend this place to others.
Gary! ❤️

The property is very impressive and I don’t feel the pictures really do it justice. Plenty of room for everyone to have space for themselves. Clean house. Host was very nice and easy to talk with. If we come back to the area we will definitely be staying here again!

The Grafton Getaway farmhouse is a beautiful place to host a reunion! It is just secluded enough to enjoy peaceful nights around the fire or watch ducks on the pond, but close enough to town to visit local hot spots. My group caught some breathtaking sunrises and sunsets during our trip. Brandon, the host, was incredible! He was very communicative throughout our 6 day stay and answered any questions we had quickly. The "take what you need, leave what you want" pantry was well stocked with spices and other necessities. I look forward to hosting another reunion at the Grafton Getaway!

Our host, Brandon, was great. He provided us with information about local events happening during our stay and made sure to be available with anything that we needed. The amenities at the farm was amazing. Our family was highly entertained the whole time. There was something for everyone to do. There was so many options for sleeping. The Harry Potter room was a big hit for the kiddos. We loved hanging out by the pond. We fished and boated.

Perfect for a large group! With ages from 6 months - 65 there was something for everyone—trails, fishing, chickens, trampoline, games, puzzles, quiet reading…it was all there. The kitchen was well appointed for all our cooking needs. The air conditioning worked great for comfort on the hot, humid days. We had a blast and are already looking forward to our next visit!
