CURRENT UPDATE: The Hottub is OPEN/ Effective MARCH1, 2024! Beautiful views regardless the season. Enjoy warm summer nights, gazing at the stars and watching fireflies across the open farm fields!The views across the farm fields are calming and serene. Enjoy a relaxing fire in the firepit out back while toasting marshmallows! Deer are plentiful and occasional siting of black bears is quite possible. Our newly remodeled home is located at the top corner of our ‘working’ farm. Enjoy morning coffee on the enclosed sunroom or outside deck while taking in views of the valley (weather permitting), field of crops, sparkling pond, wildlife and if lucky, the soaring Eagles. In the evening watch amazing sunsets, stars in the night sky and fireflies glowing across the fields in summer. Enjoy a walk/run/bike ride and observe horses & cattle grazing. In August/September gather sunflowers from our 4 acres of sunny faces.

Absolutely loved this place! The host was friendly and welcoming, the amenities were exactly as described, and the hot tub overlooking that view was unreal. The space was so cozy and comfortable that we couldn’t leave—we added three more nights just to enjoy it longer. Would 100% stay again!

Biker family weekend

We loved the property and the location was central to the things we wanted to do and the motorcycle rides we had planned. We spent Fri at flight 93 memorial and Sat to Cook's Forest and Kinzua Bridge. The hot tub was great after a full day of riding. All 6 of us said we would definitely stay again. It is a gravel driveway, but it is flat and we had no trouble negotiating it on the motorcycles.

Thank you Sharon for choosing our retreat. Glad all enjoyed, sounds like a great weekend of riding. Would like to host you and family if in the area in the future. I was concerned for bikes if rained (there is an empty bay at blue bldg in needed) fortunately no worries of rain. Sue J

Perfect stay for a busy baseball weekend

My son was playing baseball for 4 days at Slippery Rock and this was the perfect getaway to come to after the games and relax and have the best family fun! Each morning my husband and I had our breakfast on the porch, before our crazy schedule for the day started! They amenities were perfect and everything that we needed or could have needed to feel right at home was there! I would definitely recommend this place for any family!

This location is perfect for friends looking to reconnect or families looking for a homey location with a full kitchen and multiple bedrooms with comfortable beds. Everything you could ask for including a hot tub, a fishing pond, fields of corn and sunflowers in season. And friendly horses, cows, and dogs. Plus Sue and Sherb are the perfect hosts.

Lovely place to stay!

We were attending a wedding on the Grove City Campus and needed a place to stay for the weekend. The house was lovely and it was set up well with everything we needed for our stay. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 adults. The owners were very attentive in communication both before and during the trip. Very nice people! We would definitely stay here again if we were ever in the area. Thanks so much!

About the host

Hosted by Sue Jamison

Host profile image
My husband grew up on this farm and I also grew up on a farm approximately 15 miles from here. I fell in Love with the land here, beautiful rolling hills, scenic for miles with farmlands surrounding area and sparkling pond. Actually my husband put the pond in several years ago and we have slowly stocked with fish, bass & bluegills.

Recently we had the chance to buy back the small house on the corner of our farm, near our farm buildings. Upon 6 months of remodeling, we opened as a short term rental, May 2023.

We have met so many wonderful people from various regions, all areas of PA, Long Island, NY, Detroit, TN, OH. We anxiously await all future guests and hoping you enjoy our lil piece of down home, country life and relaxation!

Why they chose this property

The most rewarding scene of our retreat is the views, regardless the time of year!

What makes this property unique

We are located minutes from I80 but far enough away from congested highways and cities. You can rest, relax and enjoy quiet, scenic days but you can also visit the quaint town of Emlenton 4 1/2 miles away with a brew Haus, coffee shop, Italian restaurant, ice cream shop, winery/speak easy, cigar shop and a tavern. Also, you can ride or walk the Allegheny Rails to Trails! Visit the Oldest golf course in Foxburg, 7 1/2 miles and also the local winery and have dinner riverside at the Allegheny grill. The Grove City outlets are a 30 minute drive with many surrounding activities.

We own 40 + acres so you can walk our property, pet our 2 Tennessee walkers, watch our new baby calves chasing each other!

RELAX & ENJOY!
