The property transports you back to the 1920’s as soon as you step in the door. Jill is an excellent host and never let us want for anything. It was fun feeding Dexter and the kitty’s snacks each day. We will absolutely be staying here again on our next visit back east. Looking out at fields with trees and green grass was a welcome change from our home in Arizona.

It was a super comforting home in a beautiful area. Loved all the wild life as well as the cats and donkey. Owner was super friendly and easy to contact. Feels very out in your own space but also close enough to some towns.

Jill and her husband were so nice. From the snacks they brought to being flexible when we needed to add days. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dogs, and they loved Dexter. The farmhouse was cozy and comfortable. It felt like being at home. I highly recommend the farmhouse.
