We loved seeing the cows, pigs and chickens. The kitchen table was perfect for us to play games. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the rockers and swing. The hosts were great to talk to. We look forward to going again!
Everything at the Farmhouse was what I read on the listing. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Farmhouse. There was plenty of room in the house and plenty of supplies (dishes, etc) for all we needed.
My family LOVED this place!! Driving up the driveway felt so nostalgic.
The house itself has been completely remodeled.
Walking in, the house smelled very clean and was very tidy. Everything was beautiful inside, decorated with a very cute farmhouse theme. It had all the modern conveniences, such as keurig coffee maker, plenty of outlets with USB ports, new kitchen appliances, a smart TV, and touch screen climate control.
The house had PLENTY of room for our family of 6, including 3 small children, 6 and under. The bunkbed room was spacious enough for a pack and play, allowing us to put 3 kids in one room. The other bedrooms were comfortable and suited us well. There were plenty of towels and lots of hot water.
The kitchen was amazing. All the appliances appeared brand new and it was fully stocked with everything you need to cook your own meals. There was also a very large bar which was nice for organzing our personal things, and sitting at the bar.
Outside was my favorite. We loved sitting on the front porch, especially in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee while reading the Bible, and getting the day started off right.The kids LOVED the tree swings!
Lastly, Jon and Kristin (owners) were GREAT! They were very friendly, hosptible, and super responsive to questions. They gave us a nice tour of the farm which we loved.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Very inexpensive for such an amazing property. The only downside is that we couldn't stay longer.
We loved our stay at Highlands farm. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 5. The house had everything we needed and was a much needed respite during our travels. The kids also loved being outside on the swings and running around to see the cows ☺️
Thank you again!
