There was a complete renovation in the spring of 2016 modernized what could be while still keeping the original charm. The floors are the original and with that come creeks here and there, we think of it as a reminder of the age. The bathroom is the original for the entire home but now only serves the Hen. While it is not grand in size it gets the job done and the little decor adds to its charm. Off of the one bathroom door there is an outside sitting area where they used to hang their clothing from however now one can sit and enjoy a beverage. Historic homes back then had minimal ways to sound proof between floors and ceilings due largely to the design. You will find that noise DOES travel but most of our guests are respectful and understanding to the nature of the house. To aid with this we do offer earplugs for very light sleepers and a sound machine. The Historic home sits one block back from a main intersection for orchard trucks and traffic going either to HWY 81 or HWY 15, which also makes it extremely convenient to get around. The Farmhouse itself sits close to the road as due most Historic homes and there will be road noise. There are a few entrances that are low and if you are tall will need to duck. All guests will need to sign a rental agreement. Guest will need to do some departure procedures on check out, i.e. strip beds, clean dishes, and take trash out Other things to note This Farmhouse is over 100 years old and sits on .75 of land. As with all historic homes it sits very close to the road as the roads (road noise) were built after the home. The farmhouse can be rented as one unit (The Freckled Farmhouse) or as two rentals. The Happy Hen has its own private entrance and is the entire upstairs. The Rested Rooster has its own private entrance and is the entire downstairs. The Historic home has sound proofing as much as possible for a historic home. Guests should expect to hear noise like hotel rooms as it does travel. We ask guests to be respectful of the other unit. Guest access The Hen has access to the farmhouses yard, fire pit, and grill. High Speed unlimited Data Wifi!!! All guests must fill out and sign a rental agreement.

If your looking for a large shower or bathroom this is not the rental for you. There is road noise! This home sits close to a busy intersection and if you’re looking for total silence while you sleep this is not the rental for you! We’ve had some guests be completely fine with it and some guests that said it was not bad we’re guessing it’s based on the time of year.
