Misleading

Overall, the house and property were ok. My main gripe is that the listing states that the house sleeps 8, with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house sleeps 6, with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Our party of 8 were very uncomfortable at night because we had to sleep on the floor and sofa, which is ultimately not what we paid for. For a party of 6, though, this would be great.

Quaint farm house stay

The farm house was a great place for us to use during our visit to southeast Colorado. It was quiet, had amazing views of the sunrise and sunset, lots of wildlife to enjoy, filled with a large number of amenities, and close to nearby towns. We will definitely want to stay again. The only item for some guests to be aware of is there is an awesome clawfoot tub - perfect for the house, but for those with some balance or step height issues they would want to have help for stepping in and out.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

We bought the farm is 1979. My ex-husband, Willard and I moved from the 400 acre family farm in Illinois to Manzanola with 4 year old Nick, 18 month old Kate, and1 week old Marc. Elizabeth was born 2 years later. The main crop was sugar beets and tube irrigation in 1979. The crops changed over the years to include acres of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and cantaloupe and pinto beans. We even tried our hand at watermelons but they were too big to handle. THe children were an integral part of the farming. They helped irrigate at an early age and were familiar with driving equipment and picking cantaloup alongside the migrant labor. Willard and I divorced in 2000. He continued to farm the entire 200 acres including my allotted 40 acres.
Recently, the farm has been leased out. Last year one of the crops grown was pumpkins! Always an adventure. . .
Our family continues enjoying the farm for family gatherings as well as relaxing getaways whenever available.
