We loved the stay as it felt like our home away from home! There's nothing like waking up to a gorgeous view out of every window. The mist rising above the mountains, the deer casually walking by, singing birds, and peaceful pond were something to behold. We appreciated the coffee maker and the variety of coffee pods to choose from. Rooms were tastefully decorated and much care was taken to make this house feel welcoming and comfortable. Our biggest appreciation came from the cleanliness. Everything was tidy, clean, and spotless. The washer and dryer are a nice convenience along with the detergent that was provided. If you fish, the pond has plenty of bluegills. I'd say the only downside is 1 bathroom. But, there were 6 of us! Ha. Kelly was a wonderful host and we would stay again if ever in the area.

Farm House with Modern Upgrades

This property is very nice. The home has been remodeled and the renovation was very well done. The original charm has been retained while many modern conveniences have been added. The house has all new appliances, the cookware, glasses and utensils are all of good quality. The location was perfect for our group. Quiet, comfortable, and well appointed.I added a photo to illustrate a view out of one window from inside the home. We will definitely return for another stay.

Clean & Cozy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this immaculate and beautifully decorated home. The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the home’s historic charm while at the same time offering all the modern conveniences. We enjoyed movies, puzzles, and games, but the most special memory was soaking in the hot tub while taking in the spectacular farm and mountain views at sunset! It was just what we needed to get away and relax with family! Kelly was accommodating and quickly answered any questions. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to stay in the area!

Breathtakingly Beautiful

The views were our favorite! Such beautiful scenery. The home has been updated and all the decor is so beautiful. The kitchen and the bathroom had everything we would need and all the appliances were so nice. Tons of quality upgrades. The gas logs were nice too. I wish we had time to enjoy the hot tub. Maybe next time!
