About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Franch

Host profile image
I grew up next door to the farmhouse and it has been in my family for 115 years. I have always dreamed of owning the home and passing it along to my children. It was completely gutted and remodeled by the local Amish except for the original hardwood floors and wood trim. Only a few major changes in structure were made to accommodate making larger bathrooms. My husband and I just decided this year that it was time to officially rent out the home and share it with guests so they can enjoy the serene country setting like we do!

Why they chose this property

The Smith Farmhouse is like a step back in time. It is so relaxing, peaceful and private and I haven't met a person that doesn't love the home and property. We also recently installed a 9 hole disc golf course on the property for guests to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

It was always told that the Underground Railroad ran through the home. The first known year that people lived in the house is 1948, but it is possible that it was as early as 1933. It is a very historic home and a wonderful getaway just less than an hour from the city.
