A Storybook Cottage

The cottage was situated on a hill overlooking a valley. So peaceful! All the animal brought a sence of calm. The manager was welcoming and kind. I loved my week at the cottage!!

Perfect getaway

Beautiful little cabin on an active farm with a lot of fun animals to look at as you enjoy a spectacular sunset on the balcony. Merre made the check in as simple as possible and let me know about some of the creek access areas around the farm with handy maps to both. Close enough to multiple towns so picking up supplies was a breeze. I highly recommend this location or any of Merre's other properties in the area!

Farm Life

Very peaceful and lots of views of animals and beautiful farm land. The stars at night are terrific because no light pollution from the city. Lodging as advertised and expected. Hosts were gracious, courteous and very caring about giving a great stay experience. If you need to meditate this is the place.

Merre Has The Biggest Heart

I feel blessed to have been able to stay at her cottage for a very important family reunion. We entered the cottage and were greeted by the smell of fresh bread baking (a gift along with farm-fresh eggs from Merre), and she so graciously accommodated requests and answered questions quickly. It was the best place we could have possibly stayed. I highly recommend it!

Fun on the farm

It was great. Merre was a great host. The property was just as described. We loved the animals and the chance to feed them plus the little class on taking care of them. Jill the cat was very sweet. We loved hiking the property and the swimming hole. The historic homes drive and the small appliance museum were fun also. Thanks for the great time.

Thank you for your kind words, William. You and Teresa were a joy to host and left things in such good shape - if I could rate you a 10, I surely would! I’d be happy to have you back anytime…

Cute little cottage

A nice place to stay and unwind . It was big enough for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Merre was kind enough to set an extra cot up for us. She had fresh made bread awaiting us, upon our arrival. The girls enjoyed using the fire pit to make s’mores. We went to crystal clear creek & and enjoyed the the animals. Merre is a wonderful host. Our 2nd time staying at her properties. We hope to be back next year.

Lovely Farm stay

We enjoyed this delightful rustic cottage. We were very comfortable with everything we needed. The hosts are super accommodating and always attentive to needs or questions. Love the animals and the peace and quiet. It was our farm away from home.

Cute place!

We needed a place to stay while traveling to the area for a funeral. It was nice not being in the middle of a city trapped in a hotel, having a place to be outside and breathe the fresh air, with livestock nearby, brought some peace to our stay. Felt very much at home since we live in the middle of nowhere ourselves, this place was perfect! Merre was quick to communicate and accommodate to our needs, and fresh eggs and bread just made it that much better. Highly recommend staying here!

Wow! What a wonderful cottage!!!

Rent this amazing, sweet cottage! I promise you will be beyond pleased you did. I have stayed in vacation rental homes over the world and Merre’s cottage, property, interactive farm lessons, and personal touches, were hands down the BEST complete experience I’ve ever come across. I own 3 VRBO cottages in Michigan and Colorado. I have a lot of experience when it comes to renting and renting out a home. There were 6 of us on this visit; my husband, four children(ages15-7) and I. We were in town visiting family and we stayed at Merre’s cottage for four days. We truly enjoyed every sweet moment and memory beginning at driving up to the beautiful barn, cottage, and farm animals that greeted us. The location is perfect and very private. When we walked into the cottage, Merre had baked us bread and left us fresh eggs in the fridge. The cottage was warm, friendly and made my heart skip a beat. It felt like I had just been transported back to Switzerland into the European cottages speckled throughout the countryside. It was truly a fantastic moment! Merre managed to entice all the senses with our experience and what an amazing experience it was for us all! My four kiddos loved the endless amount of friendly animals. Their favorites were the cute kittens, sweet goats, and silly Alpacas. Merre was able to give us some lessons on feeding, the jobs of the animals and how to take care of them. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was cozy yet felt spacious. The loft upstairs had plenty of space for the kids, while my husband and I took the comfortable day bed and trundle at night. Merre has thought of everything, including air conditioning units, blackout curtains in the loft, and fans. Everyone slept very well all three nights. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of items and Merre was quick to help out when I had forgotten an item at the store. I’m not sure Merre sleeps, she is a sweet wealth of knowledge, constantly in motion, very laid back and caring, and wonderfully passionate about her farm. She was such a joy to be around! Thank you to Merre for providing us with top-quality comfort and joy. We will be back to see you all!

Great country feel

I am not normally a country guy and was really just looking for a place to sleep while in town for an axe tournament but this place was great and the property owner went above and beyond to help me out when I lost the key. If I am back in the area definitely staying here again

Smelled like warm bread when I walked in the door. Transported me back to farm cottages during WWIII in Europe that I have seen in TV movies. Loved the animals and the relaxing atmosphere.
