Our VRBO was absolutely wonderful. Loved the old farmhouse charm with the modern up grade touches. It was perfect for our group as there was plenty of room for all six of us. the beds were so comfortable and lots of amenities. 5 stars!

Wonderful stay

The homestead farm house was a fantastic rental. Our whole group enjoyed it. It was decorated beautifully preserving the history of the building and adding new fresh design touches. Each room was comfortable and everything worked well!

Great Location

This was a very relaxing environment. I loved the peace and quiet. We were just minutes away from downtown. The views were great. Everyone in our group loved the privacy and tranquility.

Lovely rural stay!

Our family really enjoyed our stay out in rural Ferndale. The house has been nicely updated but retains its historic charm. It was well stocked in and we appreciated all of the amenities for kids: high chair, small folding toddler table and chairs, kids dishes, and toys in the kids room. Our extended family of 4 adults and 4 kids ages 2 - 10 were all very comfortable! Loved seeing the sweet cows, deer, ducks, and chickens on our drive in. Absolutely picturesque!

Beautiful Modern Farmhouse

Thank you for having us in your beautiful farmhouse. We all felt really comfortable especially with the wood-burning stove! My only criticism would be the management company's check-out time of 10:00 a.m. Every rental house or hotel I've ever stayed at the earliest check-out is 11:00. It's a bit unreasonable especially for a town like Ferndale where there isn't an influx of renters banging on doors to check into a farmhouse. But other than that I have no complaints. Thanks again.

Ferndale home

I thought the house was beautiful on the inside. It was very clean. I enjoyed my stay until I used the water. It had a bad odor of cow manure. My family were the groomsmen in a wedding . We hadn’t seen some of our family in years and traveled over 400 miles. I tried to get a late checkout and offered to pay for it. The lady was very pushy and rude. We had tons of rules to fallow. My brother the groom came to say goodbye to us and she called me 3 times because of traffic so it was just unbelievable stressful and very uncomfortable. I would not recommend staying in this home. I didn’t want to walk down the aisle smelling like poop. It was terrible. W

Thank you for your review, Jessica. Kindly note that this home is on well water a sulfur smell naturally occurs in the well system. The water is multi-level filtered and the home has all-new plumbing. We are working with a professional to investigate the sulfur and eliminate the smell. Unfortunately, late check-out wasn't available for your stay as our team needed to prepare the home for our next guests. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused. Our policies and house rules are sent to each guest on their rental agreement prior to their stay and this needs to be signed by our guests before their check-in. Thank you again for this valuable information as we always welcome the opportunity to improve. We hope to have another chance to impress you on a future stay!
