Super place

Lots of things to like about this sweet house. Roomy, comfortable and clean. Great for families with the upstairs bunk rooms and the grounds to explore. This was our second time there and it was perfect.

Family Vacation

This place is a hidden gem! We felt safe, the place was clean and the hostess was most gracious. My grandkids loved the animals and the creek. It's close to several fun attractions, and is less than an hour from Springfield. It was a perfect place for our family!

A relaxing getaway

The house was spacious and quirky. There were great outdoor spaces for the kids to run around and entertain themselves.For an extra $30 the host gave us a tour of the farm and let the kids interact with several animals.

Fantastic!

We loved staying in this farmhouse! It was big enough for all of us with so many bedrooms and a large living area. Plus the kids enjoyed the chickens, cows and cats and all the room to play outside. It was close to Joplin and the Precious Moments Chapel which was the reason for our trip. Also, the host had fresh bread waiting for us which was delicious! They made you feel at home and was very fast to respond when needed. We would definitely stay there again!

Fabulous Christmas Getaway

For the second year in a row, our family has gathered at Merre's farm to celebrate Christmas. Merre greeted us with hugs, a lit Christmas tree and warm bread. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. Best of all, she has stocked the kitchen with nearly everything you need to make meals for a crowd, except the food! Our family of 9 is very happy here, and we plan on continuing our Christmas tradition here.

Sisters in Christ 2023 Retreat

The property is awesome. The owners greater us and checked in to make sure we had what we needed. We had homemade bread and fresh eggs at checked in and offers to assist with carrying things out as we left. Many of us have it on our list of possible places for personal needs as well as a revisit for 2014. Away from the congestion of the city but close to town and many wonderful day trips and eating experiences. 5 stars are not enough for what this has to offer.

Extraordinary

Merree Is such a wonderful person and helped go over the property when we checked In ,even the rules about the lovely little barn cat. The place was so amazing and so much room it was unbelievable,we couldn't even use all the beds that were in the house. Plenty of kitchen and filled with everything you could imagine and if we had any problems finding something she answered our questions immediately. Loved the property and location and everything about this rental. Its such a joy to have such a WONDERFUL host!!!!
