Summary: Beautiful historic home with upgrades (power, air/heat, bathrooms). House was huge. Lots of large rooms/gathering spaces, bedrooms and beds. Full kitchen with any accesory you would need to make a family meal. Hosts were great to work with.
Karen P. Aug 20, 2024 07:28:58 PM
Summary: The host and property manager were very attentive and quick to respond and act to every concern and question we had. The farmhouse was perfect for our needs and we enjoyed all the thought that was put into the property to make it so inviting.

Summary: We just returned from a stay at this very interesting once-upon-a-time country store. We all were impressed with the thoughtfulness with which you prepare for prospective guests - wood for an outdoor fire pit, a very well-supplied kitchen down to wax paper, spices, garbage bags, newspapers for starting indoor wood stoves, (loved the pot filler over the gas stove in kitchen), games and puzzles of all sorts for all ages, TV's in two rooms for differing tastes, ample towels and wash clothes, three bathrooms which were great for our group number, comfortable beds and bedding (we were one short a twin set for trundle), interesting plant selections making the house feel like a home. The outside as well - furnished with chairs, hammock, tree swing, fire pit, grill although we did not use. Much planning and consideration of others was obvious.

Summary: Our group of 13 (6 adults and 7 kids - ranging from ages 5-15) had a fantastic time at this property. The house is beautifully upkept - the furniture and artwork are lovely and contribute to a great vibe to the house. At the same time, the house is 100% live-able and fun for children. The three living areas, the storehouse room, and the games and activities for kids made it so we were never bored (and never all too on top of each other). The kitchen was also amazing - plenty of room to cook for a large group. There were also plenty of comfortable beds to have us all sleeping soundly with plenty of space for all. The outdoor space was also wonderful. We loved the magnolia tree and the swings. We played badminton and baseball on the lawn and just laid out in the grass and took in all the open space. This is a lovely place to getaway!
