We were so happy with this rental. The owners were outstanding. The house was very clean and well equipped. All we needed to do is bring in some food, relax and enjoy the place. I highly recommend the rental.

Kim was accommodating and flexible. The house was big, it has beautiful scenery, and the sunroom and kitchen have been renovated and they look really good. The rest of the house looks okay, and better on the pics of the posting. On the other hand, the AC is not the best on the main floor, it felt warm inside and uncomfortable for me even with all the fans on. I also don’t appreciate that Kim did not follow through on something we talked about.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. If we forgot to bring anything, it was there for us to use. Kim and John were very nice. Very clean and well kept home. My kids loved the huge lawn and seeing the animals. I can’t wait to book again!

A great farm house. Private location, with plenty of room to spread out. The grand kids enjoyed the live stock and the gigantic barn to play in. We had a party of ten and still had plenty of room and extra sleeping space. We would recommend this location to everyone! We will be Back! *This review was originally posted on TripAdvisor for a stay in July 2018
