Fantastic charming farmhouse that was perfect for a weekend getaway with our group of friends. The perfect blend of rustic and renovated. Great outdoor space made grilling out and sitting around the fire very enjoyable.

I rented this home to stay for my granddaughters wedding. We arrived Thursday and Michelle arranged an earlier check in at my request, The home was so accommodating for our stay of 13. Beautiful setting out back for a hot tub night and enjoying s'mores by the fire. Kitchen had everything needed for some light breakfast cooking and the has grill worked out perfectly for a Friday night bbq. Beds were super comfortable, all towels included, even towels for getting out of hot tub. The area with the large vanity, lighting and mirror worked out best for 4 woman and 3 girls to have hair and make up doneI would highly recommend any one to stay here.
