New Years getaway

Beautiful, secluded property! Tons of space! Lots of goodies in the kitchen to use for cooking and plenty of activities/games for kids. The only negative was the rusty pipes leaving the water discolored and cig butts left around by a previous guest. It was so quiet at night being from the city, fans would have helped us through the night but it was absolutely beautiful during our stay. The owners were awesome about getting back to me Quickly with any questions throughout the whole process.

Farmhouse retreat

Location is wonderful! We appreciated the seclusion in this 5 acre farmhouse nestled within nature. We stayed during Thanksgiving & what a memorable stay we had when we were surprised with a blanket of snow. A few things to note though, the “sustainable garden” is no real garden at all, other than a an herb or two, this looks like It used to be a farmed property, which would have been nice to see. The views make up for this though & we would stay here again. Thank you Ciara & Thomas for hosting your beautiful home.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 March 2020
Thank you so much for staying with us. What a pleasure your family was. We appreciate how clean and respectful your family was and what a wonderful weekend with all that snow. Ps your right about the garden it’s a summer garden so it doesn’t have much growth in the winter with all the rains and snow but we are so happy you enjoyed the rest of the property.
