The stay was wonderful! The house was extremely comfortable and they had even decorated for Christmas for us. They were very communicative and even provided several things for the baby so we didn’t have to bring a high chair, etc. We would absolutely recommend and plan to visit again!

Perfect Retreat for our Family of 8!We stayed at Bud's Place over New Year's as a chance for our family to get away and enjoy each other's company after the busy Christmas season and before school started back up. The farmhouse was perfect - all the modern amenities we needed (great, well-stocked kitchen & bathrooms), comfy beds (3 queens & 1 twin-over-full bunk), and enough living space to relax in. We were worried the farmhouse might be drafty, but it was 17 degrees and blustery out, and we were snug & warm. The gas fireplace was a nice touch too! Definitely plan to visit the Razzbourne Farms & the Goatique right down the hill (owner Emily is great to talk with!), the 24/7 walk-in cheese & ice cream shop across the road at Mountain View Farm, and the Ridge Valley Alpaca farm about a mile away on Sterret Rd (owner Janice and John were fantastic!). This is a perfect farmhouse if you're looking for a chance to relax and unwind! Would 100% stay again!

Charming Farmhouse for a Family

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse! The perfect blend of history and modern comforts made it a truly special experience. The views were breathtaking, and we loved seeing the cows—it added such a charming touch. This home was the ideal retreat for our family. Everything was thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found this place and hope to return someday!
