    We absolutely loved the farm. Beautiful, peaceful, a large, comfortable house. Definitely going back
    The house was large, kitchen well equipped. A great place for family entertaining. We enjoyed hiking, exploring the ponds, and other fun outings in the area being so close to Athens and Palestine. We totally recommend staying here.

    Great place to stay
    We had a lovely time at this property. Upon arrival the water had been turned off accidents but one call and it was promptly fixed. The house was cozy and it was so relaxing being in the middle of a cow pasture. It was neat watching the cows out the kitchen window. It was just very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

    Perfect country holiday trip
    This home was perfect! We came to stay for the weekend to drive into Palestine for all the Christmas festivities including the Polar Express train ride. The ranch house is so spacious and kid friendly, has tons of dvds and little toys, games in the garage to set up like bean bag toss, bikes, and most of all the land that we could run around and play and go in the aluminum boat with the kids. House was spotless, had all the essentials needed, great water pressure, firewood for indoor and outdoor fires. We had SO MUCH FUN! We can’t wait to come back!

    Christmas trip to Polar Express
    It was like visiting my late grandmothers house, we loved it. The view of the land is beautiful and wish we would've had more time to enjoy it but we had a full schedule and only a couple days there (plus it was too cold for me outside). I loved having no houses close by yet it was only 20 min to get to Polar Express. We hope to go back and enjoy the home this spring.

    Christmas trip to Polar Express
    We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was like visiting my late grandmother with the decor/age of the house and we loved being away from other homes. We weren't able to enjoy the property like we wanted because we were so busy but it was a beautiful view and we hope to go back for a weekend getaway. The house is only 20 min to Polar Express and different Christmas events in Palenstine.

    4th time visiting
    The “country house” as my kids now call it was excellent for our 4th stay! House was more stocked than ever with essentials, cookware, and even decorated for Christmas! So cute! Christmas blankets on the bed was a nice touch, we enjoyed them. 30 minute drive into Palestine for Christmas festivites like Polar Express. So much to do at the house- garage is full of yard games, bikes, firewood stocked with big fire pit and outdoor dining table. We being our golf cart and ride out into the pasture to see the cows and the ponds and the kids run around and play. Just a nice quiet relaxing kid friendly getaway!!

    Amazing
    This is one of our favorite home away from home getaway spots. To wake up every morning to the view of the sunrise and the livestock passing through lets me know it is going to be a wonderful day. Then to watch the beautiful sunset in the evening is spectacular. The home is very spacious and well equipped for a large family like mine. Our host is one of greatest!

    Family Vaca
    We really enjoyed our stay. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The kids enjoyed riding around and exploring the property on our four wheelers, especially at night with the spot light. We also enjoyed fishing, though the ponds weren’t stocked so we only caught a couple of very small fish. The house was neat, clean and the beds were all very comfortable. We will be back soon!
