The property was amazing. The hosts were fantastic. The communications between us had a hiccup due to a wrong email address by the third party. I fell in love with this house and with Cambridge Springs. I truly hope to stay here again.

The farm was awesome and my family had a great time. Kihm is a wonderful person and he was ready and willing to accommodate us. My son and nieces loved feeding the horses and we took so many photos of the nature and wildlife. We went out and did things while staying at the farm but we were also excited to get back to the place and do stuff there too which is always a big plus when it comes to rentals. It was more than just a place to lay our heads.

This house had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed looking at the decor and spending time with the horses. The proverty was pet-friendly and made it easy to travel with our dog. The house was close to the university and provided a great gathering point for us to visit, shop downtown and enjoy the outdoors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lovely, peaceful farmhouse. The kitchen was incredibly equipped not only with dishes and utensils, but spices and condiments. The host kindly left fresh eggs in the fridge for us. Our bed was very comfortable. We were surrounded by beautiful nature. The farmhouse was very pet friendly. We would totally recommend this VRBO.

My husband, myself, our daughter, son in law, and our 5 year old grandson had a wonderful weekend at the Hard Aground Farm. Our grandson loved feeding the animals, and exploring around the farm. It's a great place for all ages. Quiet atmosphere, in a beautiful country setting. The farm house is equipped with everything you need. The owners were very kind and welcoming.
