This home was nothing short of wonderful! Charming in every way that you hope a big ol' renovated farmhouse to be. Morning coffee on the front porch was the best way to start the day. So many creatures to spot... a mama deer and her twin fawns, groundhogs, a bright orange-red cardinal, and even a fox trotting their way through the yard. We also enjoyed exploring the maintained footpaths through the woods and around the pond. This really is a special spot.

We were so happy with the home. It had everything you could want . I didn’t understand why it didn’t have air conditioning updaters tho. Only heat on thermostat. Will definitely stay again in the future. Beautiful views and privacy

This home provided lots of space for extended family attending my son's graduation. The location felt very rural, but we were a 15-20 minute drive from most of our dinners and activities. A rainy Memorial Day weekend limited our outdoor enjoyment, but the home was very comfortable and we enjoyed viewing the lush yard, beautiful pond and wildlife from inside. Saw a heron, a groundhog (novel for us from CA) and a nest of young birds. The beds are very comfortable and the updated bathrooms were great, and great heating system kept us warm. We had a hot water issue that was quickly resolved by the management. Kitchen could be better equipped with nicer and more plentiful dishware and cutlery and there were some other small issues that if addressed could enhance the visitor experience. Overall this is a very comfortable and large house and I would recommend it.

This place was wonderful!! It was easy to get to from the city, and the grounds were incredible. The house is spacious with plenty of communal and personal spaces. We loved the old farmhouse aesthetic and had a great time.
