Would I go back again? YES
This is a beautiful old farm house, the property was beautiful had cows, horses and so many wonderful sounding birds. The porch outside had 6 chairs that we sat every evening and just sat and was so nice. Like I said the house is over 50 years old and it should of been cleaned better, there was a dirty soap dish (full of scum and a bar of soap, that I cleaned out) in the master bathroom shower, the floor boards were very dirty, like no one ever wiped them down. The pool was full of leaves and dirt that we could not even go into the pool, there was no diving board like the photos showed, no ping pong table like the phots showed, we called the Maintenace person that was listed in the house book and he called back and said he had not worked there in three years that we should call the owner. The owner came and fixed the couple of issues right away. I was a bit disappointed when i first arrive after flying 6 hours to get there for the price I paid, but after I woke up the next morning and had my coffee on the upper porch and sat a bit, it was so peaceful and we enjoyed our stay. Would I go back again? YES, I would.

Anniversary trip
Loved visiting with the animals on the property. The Upper Bay Trail was close by the property. Home had all supplies available. Approximately 20 minutes from the mall. Nice pool area. Unfortunately, it is too cold this time of year. The only negative would be the water had a lot of iron in the water causing discoloration. The owner does provide water in the home. The owner is very helpful. There is a water treatment system on the house. I would recommend the property and stay again. The barn is wonderful by place to visit while staying at the manor.

About the host

Hosted by John&Martha

Host profile image
John and Martha. John is a retired executive from the engineering and construction industry. Martha is an entrepreneur building her own reprographics company which she sold to a NYSE company in 2007. Together they operate an adjacent property The Barn at Stark Farms featuring a Revolutionary War era post and beam barn originally built by General John Stark in New Hampshire circa 1785 then meticulously dismantled, tagged and shipped to the property and reconstructed as a short term rental. (See AirBNB or google Stark Barn Odessa)

Why they chose this property

Stark Farms operate the 40 acre estate under lease for cattle operations, show horse stables and livestock barns. Cattle and horse graze in the pastures, hay operations also occur on property. The estate is being restored over time to its original grandeur. Wild deer and turkeys can be seen on the property almost daily.

What makes this property unique

We love semi-rural country life, farming and hosting guests at The Barn at Stark Farms and now offering The Manor House at Stark Farms. Living amongst God's creations is both peaceful and uplifting.
