Did NOT Disappoint!
The Florence Family Farmhouse was a Retreat, indeed. It created the perfect environment for me and my guests! I have stayed in several VRBO's and this house was by far my favorite! Great storage (LOVED the pantry area off of the kitchen), plenty of linens, no microfiber bedding, very clean, and things you typically don't get like a huge assortment of spices and even some ziploc/foil/etc. The only inaccuracies were areas where the property offered EVEN more than advertised- i.e. a volleyball net. Everyone absolutely loved this house and the thoughtful details!

Great stay for large family

A beautiful holiday get together
My family stayed here for an early holiday celebration. We were all so impressed by the home and how big the space was. There was a large table for all of us to gather around, and the host even set up a Christmas tree! Beautiful space and we definitely want to come back. Communicative and easily accessible host, too. Highly recommend!

Lovely Retreat
It was a very spacious property that accommodated our group of eleven. The location was a quiet oasis that was truly wonderful. The rooms were a great size with plenty of bathrooms. The two living rooms and two dining areas were a bonus. It gave us a lot of room to spread out. The home was very clean with plenty of towels and ceiling fans in most of the rooms. We enjoyed the backyard, had a fire pit where we had s’mores, backyard playset and the fantastic hot tub. We definitely enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing. We would love to come back in the future. Thank you for everything it was a pleasure.
