Perfect location , country remote setting but close to everything. We loved sitting in the porch mornings and evenings and watching the cows. Home is a perfect lay out for large families and so private. Comfortable furniture and beds, host was easy to communicate with.

We love the John Thomas house. This is the third or fourth time we’ve stayed at this property. We enjoy staying here and going into town for the shops and restaurants. We also really enjoy the Stone drive in which is just a short drive from the property. The house is very nice and the location is amazing! We love setting on the porch just watching the cows and enjoying the peace and quiet. On this trip we saw turkey, deer and some wild hogs. The John Thomas house is our go to stay when we want to just relax, enjoy peace and quiet and get away from the world.

Great rustic farmhouse

Beautifully restored farmhouse with tons of privacy. It’s a little off the beaten path but we’ll worth the drive.

Lovely cabin. Plenty of space for our family of 9. Games, puzzles, chairs, life jackets, and kitchen equipped with the necessities. The beds were comfortable, the screened porch was lovely, and the creek access was perfect. Ivy Vacations is a great host. Thanks for a great little vacation!

Family at the Creek

We chose this property because of its location near the creek and because the farmhouse met our family’s needs. It felt like home right away, was clean and comfortable. The creek did not disappoint! We loved our stay!

One of the best rentals we have stayed in!

One of the best rentals we have stayed in! Beautiful home, well stocked with plenty of items needed for our stay. The creek was very nice. I would definitely take note when they recommend water shoes in their items to bring. Our toddler enjoyed seeing the cows throughout the day, along with occasionally seeing a few other wildlife. We enjoyed our weekend getaway with family!

Wonderful and peaceful stay. Just what we needed!

We loved our stay in this remote location. The home was clean and comfortable. The highlights to our stay were the river access on the property and the fire pit. Our kids loved throwing rocks in the river and making s’mores. They also loved seeing the cattle! We were able to go horseback riding with a company nearby and eat at a great cafe in town as well. Overall, it was a wonderful and peaceful stay. Just what we needed!

The perfect quiet gettaway

You will love it! Views are pretty. Property is very quiet. Perfect in the summertime with the creek running through. Firepit perfect for gatherings…a really neat place! It is a few minutes out of town so make sure to have everything you need if you don’t plan to go into town. A really special hidden treasure!
