Everything we needed and more. I wish we would have had more time there to enjoy it longer. Snacks and coffee and even a frozen pizza was a great bonus after a long day of driving! Our dog loved the huge area to run.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Randy & Marcy Phillips have lived next door for 16 years & when the opportunity came up to purchase this property, they knew they had to do it!
Marcy works in Quincy as a survey technician for an architectural firm & is an avid bird watcher/lover, in fact, she runs the Adams County Birders Facebook page.
Randy has been a multimedia producer for over 40 years, directing newscasts at a local TV station, then out on his own operating a video production company. He also is a commercial pilot & certified flight instructor who owns an antique Stinson Voyager aircraft(he'll be happy to show you a picture & talk your ear off about it!).
Together, they have turned a diamond in the rough, into a jewel of a home that you'll love staying in.

Why they chose this property

Relaxation is the key word to describe, The Getaway. The property is 1.5 miles from the main highway, so traffic is VERY light down the paved, blacktop road. Comfort & convenience are also plentiful here as well.
If you want to dine out, there's several restaurants close by, and dozens within 20-25 minutes as well as wineries, an excellent golf course & lots of historic attractions. If you want to stay in, our fully equipped kitchen is ready & at your disposal.
There's also a bbq grill outside & the "clubhouse" (garage) is a nice spot to hang out in the evening with a few beverages while you watch the sunset.

What makes this property unique

3 full bedrooms along with a fold down couch makes for plenty of sleeping accommodations. We can even supply you with an air mattress if you desire. The upstairs bathroom has a jacuzzi tub & we even have a small office area if you just HAVE to get some work done.
