For our guests comfort and well being, we provide electric blankets and all beds are required to be made with the mattress protectors provided!


After a short walk you will find our Mercantile store, our Traveler’s trunk boutique and beautiful natural pool for swimming and relaxation. Every child 5 and under, or any non swimmer, must provide their own life jacket when in or around the pond. If any non swimmers are occupying the space without a life-jacket, they will be asked to leave the area.

The natural pool’s beauty and tranquility is complete with a lovely waterfall and our pet Koi! The Koi are always eagerly awaiting their koi treats from our guests. These treats can be purchased for $2 from our small Mercantile store along with horse treats, rabbit treats and bird treats.

Cabin was beautiful on lovely property, bed was super comfortable and we were very happy to have the “duck and go” bathroom and outdoor shower as well. We are animal lovers so we were very happy to be greeted by the barn cat, chickens, horses, and other animals. We wish we had extended our stay there and hope to be back someday!

Enjoyed our stay!

Property was very clean and cottage was comfortable and well appointed. There was some inaccurate information on the VRBO website, as this was a new listing, but our hosts were very accommodating and corrected the situation as soon as they were made aware. Would be a great place to bring the kids since there are lots of animals on the farm as well as a pond for swimming.

The cottage was cute, the bed was comfy, the property was quiet, and the swimming pond was fun. There was not enough table area in the cabin to store our luggage or food, so we had a lot of stuff on the floor all weekend--we had to try not to trip over it. Even a card table under the bed would have been welcome. Also, the owners could do a bit more toward keeping things clean; when we we checked in there were a couple of spider nests in the cabin that I had to knock down myself, and there was a trash receptacle in the shared patio area by the pool that hadn't had the bag changed in so long that it was full of maggots. Overall, the place was nice and clean, but I think it was overpriced.
