About this property

A quiet country setting, The Homestead

Your stay at the Homestead will be one to remember. Choose between two decks to relax on, or watch a beautiful sunset overlooking farmland from the comfort of the front porch. Enjoy sitting around the fire with family and friends while roasting marshmallows and telling stories. Located in the country, we are only five minutes from town and three wedding barns, Trumpet in the Land and the PAC. If traveling with a camper or RV, we have free parking on a side lot to accommodate your needs.
The space
The Homestead is a totally renovated home built in the early 1950’s where I was born and raised. It is a totally renovated 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home with all the original features and some farmhouse and modern decor. Relax while enjoying your hot beverage taking in the views of the country side and wildlife from the big front porch or a beautiful sunset in the evening.
Guest access
You will have access to the whole house except the basement, the garage, and a utility shed located in the back yard for which we use for maintenance.
Other things to note
You will have access to a fire pit, bbq grill in the back yard. Charcoal and some wood will be available during season. In the back yard you will also find outdoor games like cornhole and ladder golf. Also available are children and adult indoor games located in the dining/sitting room closet.
We do not have cable TV!
We have a 55” Smart TV and fast internet for streaming!
A large stone driveway is located next to the property to accommodate any large RV’s or campers for guest staying at The Homestead. For Parking Only!

This property was fantastic. The ranch house has a great layout. There is a big family room to read or play board games (the closet has games for kids and adults). The other family room has a TV and a comfy chair and two couches to sit and watch. The porch is a great place to sit and watch the beautiful sunsets. The owners are in the house next door and offered us fresh eggs from the chickens (no roosters, only hens - so no early morning wake ups). It was a short drive to the town, with places to eat and shop. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to stay in and cook as well.

Down Home Country Living

We stayed at the Homestead for a Wedding at the Enchanted Acres which was perfect only a 5 minute Drive. The owners of this Homestead are very heartwarming and make sure your stay is wonderful. This home is very comfy and cozy and everything you would need. I highly recommend this home for any one that is adventuring to New Philadelphia , Ohio and going to the Enchanted Acres Venue they are so close to many other attractions you wouldn’t regret it. The owners are very sweet and friendly and would go above and beyond for anything you need or looking for other attractions to go see. I definitely would stay there again, we made some truly awesome friends here at the Homestead. Thank you so very much Truly your friends Lloyd and Dee

We had the great opportunity to rent The Homestead to a fabulous couple we now call our friends, Lloyd and Dee. They gave our home the utmost respect and treated it as if was their own. They even invited us over for coffee and tea and we had a great time getting to know each other. They went above and beyond taking care and respecting our home and leaving it just as they found it. To any host renting to this couple, you won’t be disappointed. To Lloyd and Dee, thank you so much for choosing The Homestead for your stay. It was such a pleasure to get to meet you both. Hopefully our paths will cross again. You will always be welcome at our home. Your friends, Tammy and Randy!

Wonderful Fall Getaway

My wife Linda and I, along with my elderly parents were looking for a cozy country retreat. A place to call home where we could rest up and unwind after a day of touring the greater Carrollton and New Philadelphia area. We found the perfect place at "The Homestead" with owners Randy and Tammy. The property sits on a quiet country road, and is a quaint three bedroom one bath home. Not only is the house very well kept and meticulously maintained, it's also beautifully decorated and attention is given to every detail. Upon our arrival, we unloaded into the home and then stretched out on the relaxing front porch. We were blessed with the opportunity to meet Randy and Tammy, talking and setting a spell on that comfortable porch. If you find yourself traveling in the area, even just passing through, we highly suggest staying a night or two at the Homestead. We highly recommend it and will be returning in the future.

Thank you Rob, we are happy you enjoyed your stay at The Homestead. We want to thank you and your family for taking great care of our home. Our time spent with you all sitting on the front porch is a time to remember. From never meeting you before, until saying our goodbyes two days later, it was like we’ve known you forever. Thank you once again for choosing The Homestead for your weekend getaway. You and Linda and Mom and Dad are always welcome back. To any host with the opportunity to have Rob and his family as guests, you will not be disappointed but will find it to be a privilege as we have. ~ Randy & Tammy ~
