We absolutely loved the place! It was a beautiful setting, and we only wish we had more time to enjoy the pool and explore the farm. Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We truly enjoyed our time together celebrating our daughter/niece’s wedding off-site, and your home provided a wonderful place for our family to gather and enjoy the weekend. We would happily stay here again!

Eddie and Katherine were the most wonderful hosts. We had our bachelor/bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner and wedding/reception here, and it was all amazing. I highly recommend this for your event. Can't wait to go back for our anniversary!

Excellent location for a family reunion or family friends relaxing weekend

Themis was a huge property with a lot of area for kids to explore in. There is a pond in the property that you can paddle boat in and fish in and an outdoor pool so make sure to keep kids safe around those areas. Overall, it was a weekend well spend and we loved the property

Wondering stay and Hosts

We have stayed at a lot of vacation homes but this topped it all. Kathryn and Eddie were the most wonderful hosts and so helpful with making sure that we had all we needed for our wedding day. Thank you again for everything!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Ewa and her lovely family at our property recently, and we couldn’t have asked for more gracious guests. From the moment they arrived, they brought such warmth and kindness with them. They treated the home and grounds with care, were incredibly respectful of the space, and left everything in beautiful condition. It’s always a joy to host guests who so clearly appreciate the peace and character of the farm. We’re grateful for their visit and would welcome them back anytime!

I could not love this property more. The house is gorgeous and the land is spectacular. The hosts are super accommodating and friendly, and responded quickly to anything. I rented the house for a long weekend over which I was able to use the property to host my wedding. It was the most magical day and that is to do with the property. Kathryn and Eddie did so much to help make my dreams come true and were a dream to work with. I could honestly go on for ages about how much I loved everything about this house. I highly recommend.
