About this property

The Sanctuary is located in a wonderful blend of farm and nature for a peaceful getaway. It was designed and handcrafted by your hosts to reflect the peacefulness of a simple farm life while giving you the amenities of modern life. Inside: Designed in a studio style it features a soaking tub with hand shower, a full kitchen, a custom queen bed with an Organic mattress and a comfy couch to watch tv as you enjoy the comfort of in-floor heating or A/c.

Outside: Relax in the screened porch surrounded by farm and nature. Lounge in the chairs or the oversized swing. Enjoy a meal on the porch or sit around the fire pit to watch the flames dance. Shower under the stars in the outdoor shower.

We are located approximately 45 minutes from South Bend, Kalamazoo and St Joseph and about 2 hours from Chicago. This is a beautiful rural location for a relaxing getaway; an easy drive from the chaos of regular life.

We live on the farm in the main house. The Sanctuary is separate from our home and isn’t a shared space. It has a private yard and porch not visible from the our house. You might see us out on the farm from time to time. We look forward to hosting you in The Sanctuary.

This was one of the best "Not A Hotel" stays my husband and I have experienced in quite some time! The property is secluded, quiet, (with the exeption of cows mooing and hens clucking!,) and the lodging is so rustic, homey, and fully stocked with all that you will need to make your stay, an experience you won't soon forget! Eby Farms LLC is just that... a working farm! It is located in Cassopolis, MI., about 30 minutes North of South Bend,IN., Home of Notre Dame Irish! We booked the outpost cabin for a 2 night stay, as we were making our yearly pilgrimage to Notre Dame for a deep rivalry football game with USC! It was a perfect choice, as we were able to meet up with friends who live in the area, and dine locally, with a number of excellent choices not far from the farm. The property is extremely quiet at night and very, very dark, so you can see so many stars which are brilliant and beautiful! You can't see any in Chicago, so that was a delight in itself! The only regret, is that we were unable to meet our hosts, Jen and Matthew.. but we did get to meet Eby's canine ambassador, "Atlas" who exhibited nothing short of "Puppy Love", and greeted us each time we arrived and departed! Such a Gentleman! So, all in all... we would Certainly return to Eby Farms and have already made recommendations to our friends and family. If you need a quite respite and some much needed "Me Time".. this is the place for you!

Peaceful retreat

My husband and I loved staying here for a couple of nights to unplug and be in nature. We love to read and have fires, so the large screened in porch with the cute string lights was perfect for us along with the fire pit. Plus we had unexpected farm kitten guests :) We're simple nature people trapped in suburb apt life, so we loved it! The only thing we would change if we could was the soft bed. Lots of tossing and turning for me, with fibromyalgia. And my husband had to sleep on the firm couch because of his back, which he did get good sleep on, but it's a bit short. Thankfully so is he lol. The other thing that's good to know--the fire pit is really awesome, but the wood bench out there is about 8" off the ground. Hard to sit on unless you're a child or pain-free. We grabbed a chair from inside the porch, but you have to be physically able; I couldn't do it myself.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew & Jen Eby

We are a farm family who live on a homestead in southwest Michigan and are passionate about good food and quality living. Matt has a background in construction working on custom projects. Building beautiful things is something Matt loves to do. He uses the unique characteristics in the pieces of wood that he cuts on our sawmill to create amazing pieces that are both practical & beautiful. Jen enjoys working from home! Whether it's creating handcrafted soaps & body products, making a top notch dinner from scratch or digging in the garden, Jen is happiest when she's taking care of her people. Our kids love to join in all the family farm activities & adventures.

When we moved to this farm it was run down, the buildings dilapidated & the pasture was a corn field. For over a decade we have transformed this place into what we lovingly refer to as a storybook farm. The buildings have been given a new life and a new purpose to fit the needs of a homestead. Renewing the pastures has created a place for plants & animals to flourish. On our farm there is an ongoing list of projects to do, things are always changing!

Whenever we have people on the farm, they tell us over and over how much they want to live like this.
Fresh Air.
Beautiful pastures with animals grazing happily.
Porch sitting to chat & laugh together.
It's a good life and we are excited to host you on our farm and share this life with you.
