It is a beautiful property. The house was very clean and comfortable. The host was very kind and communicated promptly with me. We enjoyed the firepit with free wood and the beautiful lake.
Note that there is only ONE bathroom and the 3rd bedroom is in the basement and is not a room. The wifi was out the entire time we were there but we were told it was not the homeowners fault. Also note that there is a significant security deposit, more than I've experienced before, that I didn't know about until our group had selected the property and were in the process of reserving it. I did get my deposit back but it took 2 weeks to get it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and I recommend it.
We had so much fun staying at Begonia Manor. Inside, the piano was a favorite, and outside, my kids loved looking for frogs and tadpoles at the pond.
The internet connection wasn't the best for streaming, so we couldn't watch the movie we planned on, but we certainly did not stay here to stare at a TV screen.
The doors to the bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry room were sliding barn doors, and they were quite charming. However, some guests may not wish to stay were doors to bedrooms and bathroom cannot be securely closed. It didn't end up being an issue for us because our kids are old enough to understand the need for privacy.
We really had a wonderful time, and we would love to return in the future. The host is easy to contact and very friendly and helpful, and the property is simply beautiful. There are so many cozy places outside to enjoy, and the land itself invites you to enjoy the outdoors.
The house was cozy, clean, and welcoming. Jules was very responsive whenever we had questions. We really appreciated all the toys and games available for our children! Overall it was a very nice getaway.
We played four square in the driveway and ghost in the graveyard in the big yard. Bon fire pit was great too! Beds were very nice, house clean.

About the host
Hosted by Jules
I'm an Interior Designer and live on a working farm. Small town girl...lover of simple things, horses, and really all animals. Outdoors, landscaping, music and art are some of my favorite things. One thing I have always dreamed about since I was little was to own a bed and breakfast/event venue. The opportunity to buy my grandparents estate presented itself last summer and we decided to take the leap and launch a second business. If you knew my grandparents you'd know they loved to entertain...so to share their home with you all is absolutely fitting! We are beyond humbled and blessed to be able to honor their last wishes and keep the property in the family. Remodeling has been a huge task and I've put thought and work into every piece. The coffee table in the living room I made along with the dining table and hand drew my grandmothers cookie receipe on the kitchen wall. We want you to feel at home and make yourself at home while you enjoy your stay with us. We are always looking to improve and add more things as we grow, so if you have a suggestion we would love to hear that too! Thank you for looking at our property and thank you for choosing us.
