Deda is an excellent host. She made sure to check in with our group to make sure we had everything and was very responsive to all questions. Beds are very comfortable. The animals were so entertaining (we gave them nicknames) and the location is excellent.

Wonderful stay. It was clean, well decorated and cozy. Snowed 6 inches overnight and the host cleaned off our car and had the driveway plowed by 8am. It was so considerate. We loved visiting the animals and the peaceful country setting.

Great location, fabulous hosts!

Great location to the Amanas. House was well stocked with all necessities and beds were very comfortable. The animals were a hoot and the hosts were the kindest we’ve ever had at a VRBO. They showed us around the property and the beautiful wedding venue they own.

Oh my, did we have a wonderful weekend at the Modern Farmhouse! It was a perfect place to have Christmas with our two daughters, their husbands, and their little ones. The house had everything we needed. I was especially grateful for the Christmas tree to place our presents under, the large sectional, two dining tables, and views of the animals out every window! The friendly spotted pig was our favorite! Memories were made that we will cherish forever.
