Beautiful property with lots of rustic charm! Host was very responsive and also called to check on us the morning after we arrived. Property is just what is listed, a historic home on a large property. The home was well maintained and had most everything we needed.

Great for family

We travel to the Mount Vernon area every few months and this was by far the best location we have ever stayed! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Enjoyed having bonfires! Would have liked a map of the trails and approximate lengths. Owner was very responsive to questions! We will definitely try to stay here again in future trips!

It was a great rural location and a lovely farmhouse. It is a bit more full than the photos show, so it felt a little cramped at times. This is also just the way Mid-West farmhouses are; the old layout of rooms feels small, even with a big house. So, keep this in mind.It is a really nice property; the barn was a bit dirty to do a lot in, so keep that in mind if you are planning on using it. The rest of the outdoor space was great. We were a group of photographers, and everyone really loved the outdoor space.If you are in the area of the country, it's a great option.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful! It was so quiet and relaxing. I only had two small complaints. The roach activity in the kitchen and on the cabinets. Also there needs to be a had railing outside. I’m 5 ft tall. I had to hold on the columns to get on the porch. The step is very high for someone as short as I am. But we thank you for your hospitality. It was so nice to see we didn’t need anything in the kitchen.
