This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and we love it. We feel very safe. The area surrounding it is peaceful beautiful farmlands (which makes my heart happy) and Joyce was incredibly accommodating for us as we had a bit of a crazy schedule as we were coming in for a quick whirlwind trip for a family wedding. We slept super comfortably in the beds and the home had everything that we needed and more. (My girls really liked that they had makeup washcloths). Plenty of essential supplies. We will always check to see if it is available when we r needing a place in Emmett.

Our stay at the farmhouse…

Our stay was restful, peaceful and quiet…just like we like it. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and comfortable. We’ll definitely stay there again when we hit the Halloween Classic at Firebird Raceway, next year. I’d highly recommend this property!
