Amaizing Days at "South Hill Farm"

For ten years me and my wife were renting different properties in Delaware county. The Mountain/Lake retreat owned by William is by far our favorite - simple, enjoyable and offering a lot of recreational options. Especially the amazing lake and the excellent fishing. I enjoyed even more our time there, after reading the book describing the memories of Zita Bozanic Wenzel, who was born at this property - "The South Hill Farm", and who recently visited the property. We are very thankful to William for all the accommodations he provides at the property. This is definitely our final choice for future vacations in this area. Plamen and Liliana

Beautiful property

Gorgeous setting with an amazing view. The house is definitely a work in progress but it was clean and welcoming. Our family loved the lake and watching fireflies at night.

Great host, breezy check-in

Williams was fantastic at communication before and during the stay, answered our (many) questions, and was very accommodating. Check-in was easy, house has all the basic commodities. Great rustic cabin-feel place, perfect for groups.

Lake is the gem

The property was as described, a farm house and a work in progress. The wifi and television was disappointing as it was slow and any shows just kept freezing up (we were able to watch 1 movie before this started happening). The gem with this place is the land and lake. A beautiful piece of property and the lake was awesome. I fished it almost every morning and evening. The amount of largemouth bass I caught was unbelievable (more than 150 in the 5 days) in the range from 10 - 15 inches. They put up a good fight, jumping out of the water and going deep into the weeds. The surrounding areas offered nice places to eat and some tourist stuff to do.
