Zachary L. Jul 11, 2024 12:46:30 AM
Summary: The house was beautiful and even bigger than we expected. The grounds around the house (sheltered patio, fire pit, pool, etc.) were a delightful addition to our group’s stay as well. The host was very nice and made the check in and check out process very easy. The only issue we faced was that the house got very warm as the house is not air conditioned, though there were a few floor AC units and fans available. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely return in the future.

Summary: This was a very spacious, comfortable property. It was perfect for our family get together.
Ravi P. Dec 7, 2023 03:42:22 AM
Summary: Our large family group of 22 people rented this wonderful property for our annual Thanksgiving reunion. We loved the house with its HUGE & spectacular living and dining rooms which allowed plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is massive & very well equipped with a professional range, 2 refrigerators and plenty of china & tableware to accommodate a big group. The 12 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms are perfect for a large group. The beds were very comfortable & there were plenty of towels provided. The house itself was surprisingly warm for a house this old & there was plenty of hot water! If you like antique furniture, china, and other collectibles, you will love this place. The wifi is adequate - its strong in the parlor, living room and dining room - but weak elsewhere - a router/transmitter of the 2nd floor would help. The hosts provided a roll of bathroom tissue in every bathroom & a new roll of paper towel in the kitchen - but beyond this we had to purchase our own. Since the town is ~20 min drive, it would be great if additional supplies of these were provided. One small issue we had was that on a couple of days the water in some of the showers ran brown initially, but it cleared up if you ran it for a while. Perhaps the sediment filter in the water line from the well needs to be checked. This is a great house with a LOT of character, located in a peaceful location with wonderful views of the mountains. Albert (host), and Larisa were most helpful and friendly.

Summary: Totally beautiful building, exactly what we were looking for. We had guests stay for a nearby wedding, and they all had a great time.
Hayley C. Sep 28, 2023 02:39:07 AM
Summary: Centennial Farm is absolutely gorgeous! We were able to have our micro wedding at the property and some of our guests stayed the weekend! The house is absolutely amazing and the pictures don't do it justice! It is spacious for everyone, the kitchen is stocked with anything you might need and the decor makes you feel like you've gone back in time. Al helped us with everything we needed to make our wedding a success! You'll love it!!

Summary: Our family enjoyed staying at Centennial Farm for a long weekend. There were lots of places for small gatherings, conversations, card games as well as a nice large kitchen and dining room for when we all were together. We made use of the pool as well as the fire pit and enjoyed the views across the valley to the farms and fields of golden rod in bloom. For a quiet, serene stay in an interesting and evocative manor house, this place fit the bill!

Summary: Property is amazing if you like old world charm.
Bertram L. Jan 31, 2023 01:00:36 PM
Summary: This is a 100 year old very large home. It was a great place for a family get together. The kitchen has every thing you would want in a kitchen. Very large rooms for kitchen, dining and living. Outdoors the view of the valley is really great. There are some maintenance issues mostly due to the age of the building but nothing that will effect your stay.
Hannah K. Jan 30, 2023 02:00:15 PM
Summary: Several families gathered for games, food, and enjoyed this house! We had a ball!
