About this property

We are a quiet ranch home that sits on 8 acres with firepit, pond and bar.

Newly remodeled ranch home on 8 acres with all the amenities and a pond. We are private and off the beaten path but within a few minutes of restaurants, shopping, grocery and Wolf Run State Park. Salt Fork, Seneca Lake, The Wilds and the Big Muskie bucket are all a few minutes drive as well. The property includes both indoor and outdoor games, pergola by the pond, firepit, grill and outdoor patio with 6 chairs, table and umbrella. We have a recently added playground with a swingset for kids and a sandbox. Inside the home are 2 fully furnished kitchens, laundry room, bar, living and dining room along with a piano. If you are looking for a quiet property to relax with a great view of the stars on a clear evening this is for you.

We do allow dogs for a $35 fee per pet per stay and we also have been renting for weddings. Book your stay for the desired amount of guests staying then its $750 for the venue rental for the day of the wedding.

We will have tables and chairs to rent in the near future as well along with white tent.

We had a great Anniversary weekend here. The property is beautiful and is well stocked with anything you might need. We had great communication with Jules. The only thing that we had a small issue with was the noise from the highway directly behind the property. Thank you and yes we will consider Booking again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Jules

Host profile image
I'm an Interior Designer and live on a working farm. Small town girl...lover of simple things, horses, and really all animals. Outdoors, landscaping, music and art are some of my favorite things. One thing I have always dreamed about since I was little was to own a bed and breakfast/event venue. The opportunity to buy my grandparents estate presented itself the summer of 2022 and my husband and I decided to take the leap and launch a second business. If you knew my grandparents you'd know they loved to entertain...so to share their home with you all is absolutely fitting!
We are beyond humbled and blessed to be able to honor their last wishes and keep the property in the family. Remodeling has been a huge task and I've put thought and work into every piece. The coffee table in the living room I made along with the dining table and hand drew my grandmothers cookie receipe on the kitchen wall. We want you to feel at home and make yourself at home while you enjoy your stay with us.
We are always looking to improve and add more things as we grow, so if you have a suggestion we would love to hear that too!

We have met some of the best people in this adventure and we are so thankful!
Thank you for looking at our property and thank you for choosing us.
