Outside landscaping is a work in progress this Spring & Summer.

Fabulous Authentic 18th Century Farmhouse
Our stay was perfect. The cows are very friendly and curious. Our granddaughter loved them so much she kept bringing her boots to us so we could visit the cows again. The farmhouse is stocked with fun games and books for all ages. We had great time together as a family. We will definitely be booking more visits.

Exceptional, Comfortable, Warm and Inviting!!!
Words cannot begin to express how much we enjoyed staying in this beautiful home! Though recently renovated, remnants of its past and modern amenities filled it with charm and warmth. The house was fully stocked, and on the counter sat a beautifully arranged basket filled with goodies from local merchants to welcome us! How amazed we see the cows and be able to pet them on this quietly working farm. The property is beautifully manicured and well kept. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck while relaxing and taking in views of the countryside and the mountains during the day; and sipped drinks at night enjoying a cool breeze and the moonlit sky. Conveniently located, travel to areas of interest was easy. Our host gave us many suggestions of places to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended it! This little vacation for three friends, was just what was needed and I hope to return again. To our host, from one nurse to another; again I thank you over and over again!

Family annual trip
Our stay at The farm was amazing! This is a trip our family has been taken for 40+ years annually and this year we decided to go a different direction where we stayed and it was the best decision we made. The home was beautiful and cozy. The house had all the amenities you could think of. The kids had a wonderful time playing outside We are super excited to come back next year! The Murray’s and The Sanabria’s.

Amazing, beautiful House in the Heart of Amish Country
If I could give this house 10 stars I would. The house was beautifully appointed with thoughtfulness throughout the house. The rooms were the right sized for a teen family of 5 and the views were amazing. Every morning we were greeted by cows and at night watched the fireflies light up the fields. It is an amazing property! The hosts were very responsive and very kind. It is worth every penny!

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful farmhouse. Located on a working farm, we enjoyed sitting on the back porch and watching the cows, the pond, the farmland, and associated wildlife. The house was beautifully furnished and as clean as a new home. The kitchen and bath facilities appeared to be new. We felt very welcome with a basket of local treats. The location was perfect, we could even see Shady Maple from the home. The hosts have done an excellent job of making our stay memorable.

Amazing and quiet
To say this place was amazing, it’s an understatement! It was perfect. We had 4 kids ranging from 15-11, they were well entertained. The house was quiet, beautiful, I loved having my morning coffee sitting on the back deck, admiring the cows, and baby geese! We definitely will be back! Thank you so much for the great stay!
