Summary: From the moment we arrived, this farmhouse completely stole our hearts. The charm and character of the home are absolutely unmatched — every room feels like it’s straight out of a storybook. Knowing it was the filming location for The Longest Ride made it even more special; you can truly feel the history and romance woven into every corner.The decor was perfectly curated, with a balance of vintage touches and cozy comforts that made us feel instantly at home. Every detail, from the beautiful hardwood floors to the thoughtfully placed antiques, added to the overall experience. It’s clear the owners put so much care into preserving the authenticity of the home while offering all the modern amenities you could need.The setting is peaceful and breathtaking, making it the perfect getaway. We spent mornings with coffee on the porch, taking in the views, and evenings gathered around the cozy living room, feeling like we were part of a movie ourselves.This farmhouse is truly a hidden gem, and staying here was an experience we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to come back!

Summary: We were able to reserve the River house for our family's Christmas gathering and it was perfect! Our home is being renovated due to water damage so we needed a place for our children and grandchildren to gather for Christmas. There was plenty of space for us and the kitchen was fabulous for cooking our Christmas meal. It was very clean and comfortable. I'm pretty sure it will be a Christmas we will always remember. The setting is amazing and at night when you're sitting by the fire pit the only noise is the river flowing over the rocks. Great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the land!

Summary: Beautiful setting away from everything. Very relaxing. Places to visit for the day not too far from the property. I would love to go there again...

Summary: Once you turn onto the road leading to the property, passing the Mitchell River on the right and the open fields on the left, you know you are in a different world. Then you cross the little bridge over the rushing river, you are in a different universe. Open spaces, a huge meadow with longhorns, the red and white barn with its rose bushes and the main house with the inviting porch mean you can let go of your "normal" life. The house dates back to the 19th century, and has been renovated to meet modern conveniences while still reflecting the history. Comfortable beds, two big sitting rooms, a beautiful kitchen with eat-in dining and of course, the porch. Then there is the barn with its upstairs space for "hanging out" indoors, or on a huge balcony overlooking yet another long vista. And the quiet..... Everyone is ready to return to recharge our batteries. Thank you, Laina, for anticipating all your guests' needs.
