Family Time on the Farm

Beautiful setting in a quiet area in a great location, close to things to do. Very clean, plenty of towels and everything you need in the kitchen. We had 5 adults visiting family near Valparaiso and we had plenty of room for all of us. The house is kind of chopped up and bathroom/kitchen are smaller in size (but very clean and updated). We really enjoyed our time there walking around the beautiful farm and visiting with each other. There was lots of room in the living area for everyone to hang out together. Overall a wonderful place to stay, would highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again. The property owner was very helpful and informative before and during our stay. Thank you for sharing your home and farm with our family.

Hidden gem.

The farmhouse is picturesque. Came into town for a family gathering and could not have asked for a better place to stay. House was immaculately clean. The farmhouse was decorated for Christmas while we were there which just made it even more cozy. I highly recommend staying here. The owners were very responsive but we didn’t lack for anything in this rental.
