About this house rental
This warm, spacious and very comfortable farmhouse was built in 1920 on a property located in nearby Bidwell’s Cutting. This home is typical of farmhouses being built at that time and is crafted with sturdy local Timbers which have stood the test of time. The home was occupied by the Chappell family, and Mr Chappell worked for many, many years in service to the owners of that farm in Bidwells Cutting. Upon Mr Chappell’s retirement the home was gifted to Mr Chappell as a ‘thank you’ for his many years of loyal service. It was arranged that the home would be relocated to the section at 6 Church Street in 1984 so that Mr Chappell could enjoy his retirement in the heart of the Greytown village.
We learned this story of true generosity when we purchased the property in 2014. This we believe is a wonderful act of kindness and one we felt is well worth sharing.
Since 2014 we have slowly worked away to lighten up the interior and create a really warm, bright and homely feel in ‘The Farmhouse’ with large airy spaces and lots of sunshine. The small garden that wraps around the house creates beautiful summer shade and attracts plenty of the local native bird life.

We loved our stay at Taylor's Homestead. It was such a home away from home with comfortable furniture. It was lovely being able to light a fireplace at night to keep warm. In the kitchen there was everything we needed to cook. We loved the feel of the place. If we are wanting to stay in Greytown again we would certainly go back there. Thanks so much.

Great location. Comfortable house with lovely outdoor space. Perfect for a small family to use as a base for exploring Greytown and the surrounding area. Some of the furniture could be updated -- a bit old and uncomfortable -- but we did find the main bed to be quite comfortable.

Spacious, spotlessly clean and great communication and service from the Property Managers.
