This is a very unique property. Very secluded and private. Perfect for star gazing on the deck. The views of the Heart River Valley are spectacular. We will definitely be back!
This is our second year staying at the property for a week in the summer. Really great place and great communication from the owners. Highly recommend!
We stayed the weekend for our 1 year old's birthday. She loved exploring the house and she cuddled with Merlin the barn cat every chance she got! We had a mule deer run right in front of us when we got there and loved listening to the coyotes at night. The trails the owner mowed lead to gorgous views. The house was clean and inviting, and the property was so peaceful! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
This property was amazing with complete solitude. Never saw or heard anything but the sounds of nature during our week long stay. Really enjoyed our morning and strolls around the vast countryside listening to the coyotes howl. The house itself was incredibly clean and had all the necessary amenities supplied. Loved every second we were at Sweet Briar Farm!evenistrolls
Just enjoyed our second stay at Mark and Ann’s. Great home in a beautiful area just outside of Mandan, close to the city and close to our hunting grounds. Couldn’t ask for anything better. The guys and I were so happy we found this place. Can’t wait till next season! Thanks Mark and Ann!
This was a beautiful and peaceful location to spend the last week of October. These 100 acres of country hills provided ample space to hike, run two energetic hunting dogs and inspire creativity for a plein air painter. The farm house was well kept and comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. The fresh blanket of snow was a beautifull welcoming sight.

Mark & Pam, we LOVE the painting & can’t wait to get it framed & hung in the house!
Such a great house if you want to decompress off the grid. The scenery is perfect North Dakota hills and the two cats are great, they are easily dismissed w the water bottle if you have allergies. The house is vintage Americana, the heart and soul of our nation once raised their kids in places like this. Kitchen and wash stuff all worked well. Great communication and no hassles!

It was wonderful to have you Joshua!! Thanks for leaving the house in great condition!!
Week to enjoy and enjoy experience the state of North Dakota
The property was exactly what we where looking for to stay for this vacation. It was almost perfectly centered in the state, with an average of 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive time almost every corner. We wanted to see Fargo, Devils Lake, Roosevelt State Park, Little Missouri GrassLand, Lake Sakakawea, Slanted Indian Village, Knife Indian Village ( Sacajawea’s Village), Abraham Lincoln Fort, a few Scandinavian Heritage Stave Churches with a big ass Dala House, the Badlands of North Dakota, Cross Ranch State Park, Enchanted Highway and Painted Canyon. Most Importantly the got to pet the Worlds Largest Bison Beard at Louis L’Amour Lane. It was a lot of driving but we where almost able to see everything in the.

Description Lacking
Could have been a great place except for description. There was no heating or air conditioning as had been promised in the VRBO listing. Would not have booked it if we knew. Also, 3 annoying barn cats were troublesome. Made sitting outside virtually impossible.

I’m so sorry you were disappointed with the house! We do have heat and window AC units. I wish you would have reached out, we could have helped you with this & also with the barn cats. We keep spray bottles nearby to keep the kitties from hanging too close! They respond well to that.
Based on the listing photos, Mary and I had high expectations of Sweet Briar Farm. They were exceeded in every possible way. From first sight thru first night on that huge deck, we were hooked. How did we love thee, Sweet Briar Farm? Let us count the ways. Solitude, the quiet, the bird song and bird flight, the three hundred and thirty degree view from the deck, the ravines and distant buttes, and the endlessly changing, beautiful, big and cloud streaming sky, the comfy bed and wonderful bedding, that happy view from the living room that looks south and west, the fully functional kitchen, and finally, Merlin, feline greeter extraordinaire and delightful companion.
We don't know how they did it, but our hosts, Mark and Ann, arranged for a Dickcissel, a bird we'd never seen, to appear in the branches of the dead tree right off the deck on our first night. Then, at sunrise the next morning, they had a coyote sit on a little hillock not a hundred yards away. He threw back his head and yip, yip, yipped for us. Everyday, almost every hour, brought new delights. As long time birdwatchers and dues paying members of the Cloud Appreciation Society, we were pretty near ecstatic the entire stay.
Because of earlier visitor comments about the lack of air-conditioning, we wanted to mention that we had no issues like that at all. The bedroom a/c worked well enough for us. If we had any complaint at all, it would be that we found the lighting pretty dim for reading on those nights that rain forced us indoors. Oh, that was another nice surprise. You needn't bother bringing books because the hosts have a large and eclectic library spread throughout the house. The dvd/vhs player wasn't working, but they had many streaming services, and, anyway, if you're going to sit inside and watch tv, you don't deserve this place. Thank you, Ann and Mark for being super hosts.

We are so delighted you all enjoyed our farm as much as we do!! Thanks for the great review!! I'd like to say we had the weather and wildlife at our beck and call, but not quite that good. LOL! Please come again and we will be sure to get a new DVD player and upgrade the lights!!! Always looking to find ways to improve our guests' stays.
Very quiet, peaceful stay during an emotional time. We very much enjoyed Merlin the therapy cat. The cows in surrounding pasture provided daily entertainment until they were moved away from the house. Would definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed the property. Great communication by the host. Easy to find location and great to have space away from other people. Well maintained property and clean.
We so enjoyed staying at this amazing property and cute house! We had fine bedrooms and a good sleeping couch for our group of five. The kitchen, dining room and living rooms are great, especially the view out the living room! Everything was in good working order, including washer and dryer. Mark and Ann were so welcoming, responsive and helpful. The sweet barn cat was so friendly, and even joined us for walks out onto the bluffs. It is about a 40 minute drive to the Bismarck airport and University of Mary. The expansiveness, quiet, wild deer and birds, and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets made this a perfect place to unwind between graduation festivities. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area, the prairie experience was priceless!

Marie, We are so glad you enjoyed Sweet Briar Farm and would love to see you back again if the Lord brings you back to this area.
Great stay out in the middle of the country, yet only a short drive to Mandan and Bismarck. If you love being out in the country and on a farm this place is a must. Super comfortable, the large kitchen was our favorite place in the house to hang out, have drinks and dinner. Mark and Ann Hagerott are great! Thanks!
Access to the adjacent 160 acres of beautiful pasture land, rolling hills, ravines and woodlands. Great for hiking, cross country skiing, and hunting (must have owners' permission to hunt).
