The house is clean, quaint, and cozy. Situated on a beautiful wooded property adjacent to well stocked lake for fishing. We all had a wonderful time and hope to return soon.

We had stayed at this property over a year ago so we apologize for the late review. We are considering staying at one of Their properties again and then remembered and have figured out how to leave a review of the lovely farmhouse. To Us it was an outstanding experience, especially when you really want to experience isolation but are still within minutes away from places to eat, shop etc. The Owners very much pay attention to every detail and are very accommodating to Their Guests and their comfort. The first few minutes of entering the Farmhouse, We were greeted with a call from an old rotary phone in the kitchen where the Host had greeted us and had given us info concerning the place and answered our questions. The fridge was stocked with eggs, milk, juice, butter, and baked goods and a bowl of fruit was on the kitchen table. The canopy bed in master bedroom was very comfortable and loved the clawfoot tub! The Home was filled with antiques, books, and artwork. The house overlooks two nice sized ponds and Barn that looks like it holds Parties and events, with circular piles of chopped wood outside. No real complaints other than the cold temperature in the upstairs bedrooms but it's to be expected in January and staying in a House that's a Century an a half years old. The rest of the House was warm and toasty. Only two of us so didn't need to use the upstairs rooms. The Internet and TV reception would go in an out but it didn't concern us much. Had a great stay, thanks! 🙂

Great relaxing getaway

The house was very cozy and comfortable and very nicely updated. The owners of the property actually seem to care about your stay. They call when you get there to make sure everything is ok and call before you leave to make sure everything went well. The location of the property is close enough to shopping and restaurants but far enough away to enjoy privacy and nature. We absolutely loved everything about it and are already planning to go again in the near future.

Peaceful and Serene

Was an amazing setting. So private and quiet. Homey farm house. Very clean and comfortable. Loved fishing and relaxing by the lake. Owners are such nice people. Our third visit here. It is truly a place to to refresh and renew. Amish country a short drive away. So many shops and restaurants. Hope to return many more times in future!

About the host

Hosted by Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer

Doug McGlumphy and Jennifer Greer have been married for 30 years and enjoy working and developing our family farm. Doug works as an artist and educator while Jennifer works as an academic advisor. Both enjoy raising their two sons and passing on the property's history to the next generation.

Why they chose this property

Our farm is located on 300 acres of rolling farmland in the Stucky Valley, of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Originally settled in the 1830's by the Moomaw family, the farm was purchased in 1903 by Doug's great-grandparents, German farmers, Jacob and Emma Hisrich. It has remained in our family for over 117 years.

The farm subsequently passed down to Doug's grandparents, Laura and Vernon Hisrich who lived, raised a family and farmed the property for many decades. After their deaths the main house, outbuildings and land remained underutilized for many years and fell into decline until we purchased them, along with Doug's parents, Ed and Pat (Hisrich) McGlumphy in 1997.

In addition to the built environment, the farm consists of approximately 50% tillable land and 50% woods. In an effort to preserve the property as farmland, a local farmer uses the fields to plant crops for his dairy farm. The remainder acts as a bird sanctuary, as well as habitat for local wildlife.

We enjoy our farm and its family history and invite you to come and enjoy its peacefulness and tranquility with us. It is a labor of love and continues to be an ever-evolving endeavor. There is always something new to look at with each subsequent visit as we always have a new project in the works.

What makes this property unique

The property also includes a historic 1825 log house (VRBO 489786), contemporary log house (VRBO 2213954), and mid-century A-frame cabin (VRBO 3252295) available for rental through VRBO. If rented together all houses offer a great opportunity for extended family or friends to vacation with each other while maintaining social distancing but enjoying the great outdoors.

The cabin and rural setting offers a truly unique experience for couples, families or friends to get away and relax. We even have a baseball field, hiking trails and an art gallery nearby. Come and enjoy!
