We have stayed at many VRBO locations, and none were as clean and welcoming as this property. Mim goes above and beyond with every little detail to make you feel comfortable. The farm setting and animals are second to none, we will definitely be staying here again!

Tier 1 place! The house was very clean and fully equipped for our stay. They even provided firewood for the outdoor fire pit and a gas grill ready to use. The house is beautiful and comfortable. The animals on the farm were a highlight for us all! Thank you for a great stay!

Miriam and Omar were excellent hosts and made us feel welcome. The house was so full of character and beauty, with historic timbers and many interesting architectural elements. Having a bathroom on all three floors was convenient. The windows all had interesting views onto the farmland. We were introduced to some of the special animals like Ethel the Scottish Highland cow, and Zoe the energetic and playful Dalmation dog. We were able to make a fire in the fireplace which added coziness to the already cozy house on a chilly damp winter weekend. We hope to return soon!

This property is so relaxing and scenic. The farmhouse is luxuriously renovated but feels like stepping back in time all at once. Our family adores seeing the animals on the farm, the peace and quiet, and enjoying family time in the comfy living spaces. We will be back!

The farmhouse was clean, cozy and perfect. As soon as we had arrived Jenny, the donkey, greeted us. The decor and furnture were beautiful and soo comfortable in the house. The grounds are well kepted and the views are breathtaking. If you are an animal lover, this is the place for you. We enjoyed seeing Chloe, Jenny, Ethel, and all of the ponnies. Mim was a fabulous host checking if we needed help with anything. It was just 20 -30 minutes to drive to shopping and food areas. We are already planning to return.

4th Year in a Row!

We love staying at Mim and Omar’s farmhouse - this is our 4th summer doing so. It’s perfect for our family of 6 (2 little kids, 2 parents and 2 grandparents)! Not too far from all the attractions, but much more space than a hotel and it is beautiful. Always clean, always new renovations each year, and Mim is the best. Highly recommend!!

Dear Mim,Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful home. Our stay was truly delightful — the space was warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with every little detail in mind. We especially appreciated how welcoming, clean, and cozy everything felt the moment we arrived.The scenery around the property was breathtaking — even more beautiful than the pictures. And we loved the charm of the horses and Scottish cow in the yard, which added such a special touch to our stay.We would love to return in the future and will happily recommend your lovely place to others!Warm regards,Porgesz Family
