Beautiful Farmhouse

Wonderful home with a beautiful property. Very comfortable beds. We all wish we would have had an extra day to use the game room (skeeball is a favorite) and explore the creek/woods at the end of the property. It is at the top of the list when we go visit family in the area again!

Awesome Home! Book it!

We attended a funeral for my mother-in-law. It was a bitter sweet stay. Our 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren attended from California. We had the most FUN together, playing cards, pinball, games, eating out, and just visiting. The home was so comfortable with lots of space for each of us. The game room was a real hit for all! Would rent again. The owners have paid much attention to detail in making you feel welcome.
