About this property

We are a quiet ranch home that sits on 8 acres with firepit, pond and bar.

Newly remodeled ranch home on 8 acres with all the amenities and a pond. We are private and off the beaten path but within a few minutes of restaurants, shopping, grocery and Wolf Run State Park. Salt Fork, Seneca Lake, The Wilds and the Big Muskie bucket are all a few minutes drive as well. The property includes both indoor and outdoor games, pergola by the pond, firepit, grill and outdoor patio with 6 chairs, table and umbrella. We have a recently added playground with a swingset for kids and a sandbox. Inside the home are 2 fully furnished kitchens, laundry room, bar, living and dining room along with a piano. If you are looking for a quiet property to relax with a great view of the stars on a clear evening this is for you.

We do allow dogs for a $35 fee per pet per stay and we also have been renting for weddings. Book your stay for the desired amount of guests staying then its $750 for the venue rental for the day of the wedding.

We will have tables and chairs to rent in the near future as well along with white tent.

Our Stay

We checked in on Saturday & left on Tuesday. The house was big enough for our group of 6 1 dog. It was clean & close to "The Wilds' where we spent Sunday. The property listed 4 bedrooms & accommodations for 8. Well, there was actually 2 bedrooms & accommodations 6. I think the owner should change that !

Short stay on road trip from NY to IA

We stayed on a family road trip from NY to IA. This was a perfect midway point to break up our trip out. We visited the Wilds (the Wildside Safari tour is amazing) and got to feed rhinoceros and a giraffe. We also checked out Wolfe Run State Park.

I was really happy with the property and abundance of extra sheets/blankets/pillows. The owner (Jules) was very helpful and timely in responding. The surrounding shops and restaurants were not as far away as you would think. I definitely recommend staying here.

Stunning property with an excellent host!

First and foremost Jules was an amazing host! She was very responsive, accommodating, kind, and made our stay extra special with a few small touches. The property truly speaks for itself. We had a small wedding and everyone raved over the property. Perfect for seclusion and privacy. We also had really great wildlife experiences. We saw eastern bluebirds, green herons, and our biggest surprise was an excellent sighting of a bobcat. We would love to come back for a relaxing weekend eventually. Truly a memorable stay for all of us.

Hidden Gem!

This home is beautiful and exactly as described. From the moment you walk in through every detail in the home, you can tell this home has been cared for and there is a sense of "home" even though you are away. Thank you Jules for the amazing job you did in restoring your grandmothers home. We look forward to a return visit soon!

Pictures do not do this beautiful place justice!

We had an amazing stay here. The house and basement is huge. There is basically an apartment downstairs. Everything was decorated beautifully. The lawn and landscaping is so beautiful. The hosts were very responsive. We came from out of state to visit family and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Very conveniently located to town as well.

First time booking a place on Vrbo

My family of 7 had a wonderful weekend getaway at this quiet ranch. Jules, our host, was incredibly helpful and made check-in stress-free with prompt communication. The ranch was spotless, well-organized, and had clear notes for everything. The guest map was a hit with my teenagers. The beds were comfortable, and the ranch was well stocked with essentials.The serene setting and spotting a deer added magic to our stay. Highly recommend this ranch for a peaceful and memorable getaway. Thank you, Jules, for your exceptional hospitality!

Dirty and unfinished home, rude owner

I had booked this property for my wedding and let the owner know as well. When we went inside, we were met with a house that was not clean. The owner had said the house was being cleaned that day as someone had stayed that week. However, as we walked around the house the amount of dust and cobwebs everywhere was appalling. The baseboards were filthy with fingerprints and the bathrooms were dusty and dirty as well. We went downstairs and the kitchen refrigerator was full of mold and clearly unusable. The downstairs shower also would not work. Both ovens, upstairs and downstairs, were filthy as well. We messaged the owner with these problems and she stated that she has never had anyone complain. She came over to address the concerns and only spot cleaned some of the areas. We also pointed out that the upstairs flooring by the front door was not finished as the boards were sticking up from the floor. The owner did not fix this and stated that they thought we would be happy they put new flooring in for the wedding. Upon inspecting their socials, this flooring had been in this property for weeks unfinished. This place may not be for you if you want a clean stay and to be able to use all the amenities the property offers. This place may also not be for you if you have any complaints and have family in the area. The owner called one of our loved ones who was not staying at the property, and told her she would call the cops and escort us off the property if we were not happy with it.

About the host

Hosted by Jules

Host profile image
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 the summer of 2022 and my husband and I 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!

We have met some of the best people in this adventure and we are so thankful!
Thank you for looking at our property and thank you for choosing us.
