Enjoy nature from the back porch, relaxing in the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. This secluded home is ideal for a romantic trip, or it can offer a peaceful stay when you want to escape the city.

This home away from home was just what 3 sisters needed. The beds were comfortable, amenities were plentiful and the home clean and organized. It was a great stay to recharge and laugh without any littles around. Peaceful bliss for us!

We had an amazing stay!

This property was everything we expected and more! From the high-end kitchen to the cozy living room to the comfortable bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms, it did not disappoint. The property outside was perfect for us as well with the kids playing football and baseball and soccer. Our host Dana was so helpful and attentive and was so gracious in her dealings with all of us. The country farmhouse feel and the little details around the house and the property made our family Thanksgiving that much more special. We will definitely be back!

Charming Farmhouse

From the moment I arrived I felt I was exactly where I needed to be...away from the city. The old farm house feels cozy all while full loaded with top notch amenities. The owners thought about every detail showing how much they care about their guests. It was a beautiful experience and great place to get some R&R.

Clean and serene

Honestly, the best vrbo home that any of us had ever stayed in. So beautiful, clean, and welcoming. We’d give it 10 stars if we could! Dana was a great host and had great communication with us throughout our stay. We loved the updated appliances and there was nothing that we felt we needed and didn’t have available. We recommend this stay for any and everyone.
