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.
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!
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!
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.
Twenty-five ladies from church met for a weekend retreat to relax, renew and refresh. We enjoyed this property so much. So private and such a nice place to find a quiet peaceful spot to reflect.
Such a great place to stay for our family getaway! Brandon was an excellent host; making sure we were set for check-in and anything we needed during our stay. So much to do for the group that we didn’t even need to leave the farm!Thank you Grafton Getaway Guesthouses for an amazing family trip!
This place is fantastic! One of the best things is touring when you first arrive. There is so much to do! Tons of games, relaxing outdoors, and chickens! Definitely recommend!
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!
Mom and I had a great time fishing and relaxing. Plenty of room for large family's. Pet and kid friendly.Everything was clean and very nice! Brandon the host was good at communicating with us and made things easy and accomadating.Would def stay again. Thanks for a great time!
Who doesn’t want to pick their own eggs from the chicken coupe for breakfast?! We played several games as a family and managed to get in able on the property.
Absolutely loved our stay at the farm. Well equipped and clean. Owner was a delight to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Lots to explore and enjoy on the farm. We really didn't want to leave, but we were close to St Louis and spent time at Six Flags. Enjoyed exploring Grafton and Alton. So many great places to eat. This was a family trip to introduce our new foster, and hopefully soon adopted, granddaughter to the entire family. So it is a trip we will remember.
The property was amazing from yhe lake to the house everything was what the listing said and much more the house was very big and had plenty of things to do if ever we need a big place again we will definitely be staying here and the host was great he answered any questions we had and was fast to respond back
The house was incredible we kept finding new charming things around every corner and it was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was the perfect place to relax and celebrate our friends before the day of their wedding. There is so much to do all around the property. Incredibly memorable and scenic location.
