There are more extras before stepping inside! There's plenty of outdoor furniture, a shaded gazebo, front and back porches, a charcoal grill, a private outdoor shower, and even a tire swing and treehouse! The bar area features koozies from the owner's travels, along with a fridge, sink, card table, and TV. This rental requires a signed liability release, and two RV hookups with 50-amp power, water and septic service are available for an additional fee; please ask about this option when booking if you're interested.

The property is great. There is a lot of work going on but not in the way. The farm house is cute and the pond was AMAZING! The kids favorite spot was the pond.
The oven was dirty and I had to clean it before using it because it kept smoking up.
As a family, we are not dog people BUT we fell in love with the two dogs on the property!
The only other negative thing was the huge wasps. They were everywhere and kept getting in the house. A couple of us are severely allergic so it did cause some anxiety. I think we killed at least 8 while there as they were bad.

Hi, we've noted the oven concern, thank you for bringing it to our attention. Apologies for the new fence work, it's almost completed. Regarding the wasps, we came by right after you messaged us to take care of this, however we could not find any wasps so we left a spray bottle with you. Hopefully that helped. Happy to hear the group had an amazing time.
