We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more at the farm. Perfect location and I loved the fact that there was no smart tv to distract the children. We enjoyed the grounds and how well the family has preserved their historic home.

This was the perfect place for our family to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving! The home fit our family perfectly and the grounds were ideal, allowing for a gentle stroll about, as well as plenty of space for throwing the ball for our dog. We’ll be back!!

Great location just walking distance from Main Street
The property was very nice on approx 2 acres. It is an older home but it was well kept and in my opinion very cozy and
laid back.
My only problem was that the property manager did not return my calls or email regarding how to check in. I literally had to make four separate attempts to finally get some information on where to pick up keys.
So property good! Location great!
Management company, meh at best. A communication in advance of arrival is pretty standard in my vrbo experience so this was definitely not the norm

House is a historic gem, in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to downtown. With all the appointments of a legacy home, I highly recommend this property. Property is large and well separated from neighbors. Kitchen is very well appointed, though dish washer was broke on our visit but didn't hinder our stay at all. Our visit was during October and the cool weather didn't require us to use the a/c, so we can't comment on that though the heaters worked great in the evening.

Charming old house. Some aspects could use updating. Oven door was locked and would not open. One of the stove burners wouldn’t work. Garbage disposal non functional as well. Missed a few housekeeping details such as guest beds not fully made. Overall a nice place and would stay there again.

My grandchildren ran all around the property. Home is a Beautiful old home located very close to city. We enjoyed walking to the downtown Main Street area. The negative about the house was the gas/kerosene system. It got down to 28 degrees on Sunday nite but we were afraid to run the old heater system after we went to bed so we nearly froze. Need to get a central electric heat system and move into the 1970’s ( which is the time when most most home had central heat installed). Also the family photos displayed in the upstairs bedroom should come down if a vacation rental. Don’t want to see somebody’s photos from 40 years ago.

House is in a great location, and had plenty of space for our group of 8. We had no heat upstairs on our first night (propane heater and gas to house was not turned on). I got a response on my 2nd call to agency (about noon). Heaters were very tricky to light. We had to call agency again about 6pm- got a very quick response then. With a large group, be mindful that hot water heater can not handle multiple showers at once. Other little glitches with house: remote control didn’t work in Master and half-bath door didn’t lock. Yard was really big and outdoor fire pit was awesome.

a lovely 1900s farmhouse with almost 3 acres. My favorite part was sitting on the porch with a coffee and watching a young deer eat little crab apples. Very convenient location yet private and rustic. I would definitely go back!
