We very much enjoyed our stay at the porch house. That porch.... is LIFE. I can't say how comfy the couch is because we never sat on it... you could not pull us away from that porch! Everything was lovely and we can't wait to go back and visit the horses.
Angie was so welcoming and easy to work with. The property is beautiful and my children loved feeding the horses and fishing in the pond. The house was the perfect size for our family. Would gladly stay here again.
Absolutely wonderful stay at this peaceful hideaway. The Porch House looks just like the photos-better actually in person. Angie met me and showed me around. A bottle of wine, coffee, and some small snacks were nicely presented.
Loved our stay! The property is gourgeous and so peaceful! The house is adorable. Everything was in perfect condition, very clean. Had alot of unexpected amenities. Loved sitting by the fire pit under the lights at night. Felt safe on the porperty with hosts family nearby, but also felt like we were given our own space. Angie was super friendly and welcoming, and let us know she was there if we needed anything. Loved the detailed directions and information given! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to booking again when we have time to spend on the property and get a tour of the place. 😊
My husband and I had a delightful stay at The Porch House while visiting Folsom for a wedding. The decor was charming and festive, making the space feel warm and inviting. We loved the thoughtful touches throughout the house, which truly made it feel like a home away from home. The animals were precious and the grounds were absolutely stunning, providing a peaceful atmosphere. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable and communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. They even accommodated a special request for us, which made a HUGE difference in our itinerary. We’re so grateful for our experience and hope to one day return for a longer visit to fully enjoy this beautiful property! Highly recommend!
I don’t think I can explain how wonderful the porch house is and how welcoming Angie and Jamie are. We felt right at home and enjoyed our time together as a family. The home is beautifully decorated, and has everything you need for your trip including a washer and dryer. The landscape is lovely; we spent most of our time enjoying the porch, horses, and fishing in the pond. The kids and my husband enjoyed catching small perch and bass while I sat back and watched with a glass of wine. The town is friendly offering lots of things to enjoy nearby. We never felt like the space was shared by anyone but us and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together as a family.
Stayed at the property while my daughter was competing at a horse trial at LEC. Perfect location and owners were amazing. Have already booked again for future horse shows!
Our stay was amazing! The hosts were so kind. The property was absolutely gorgeous! We enjoyed our stay so much! Definitely would book again in the future!
We went for a girls weekend and it was just what we were looking for! We had things planned but ended up mostly staying on the front porch the whole weekend! So beautiful and relaxing and peaceful. We recharged our “batteries” and plan to be back! Thank you!
We had the most amazing time at the porch house, it was everything they said and more! The house was little with so much charm and beautifully decorated. The hosts were great to work with- friendly, communicative, prompt to respond and felt like being with family. The property is peaceful and serene with so much to see. The horses are beautiful, happy, and very friendly. Angie showed us around, provided horse treats and introduced us to all the animals. She went above and beyond with my girls. The kids (10, and 6) spent most of their time walking around the property and loving on the horses. Me, and my husband enjoyed sitting outside on the porch with a cocktail watching the kids play and relaxing together. They had fishing at the pond available, but we didn’t get a chance to drop a line. Although the hosts are on the property you feel like it’s all yours while you’re there. Everything we needed was there including coffee, and snacks. We found a cute pizza place and an ice cream shop nearby. Jaime recommended the Bogue Chitto riding trail for horse back which we decided to do and it was a great experience. We stopped at global wildlife on the way home and it was also fantastic. We live in the New Orleans area and wanted a quick weekend trip before the end of summer. The porch house was perfect and would be a great trip for a couple, girls weekend or a visit with the family. We are planning our next trip to the farm in October. Don’t miss out on this gem of a property!
