About this property

Red Boar Ridge- 3 Bedroom Farmhouse

Golfers, Hunters, Crafters, Hikers, Cyclists, All Season(s) Outdoor Enthusiasts!

This is an authentic all-American farmhouse where farmers who raised premium bred cattle and hogs lived for many years! This IS NOT a Chip & Joanna Gaines, HGTV or Country Living version of a farmhouse.
This is the real deal!

We love this old farmhouse, and we hope you do too!
We've worked very hard to make this a lovely place to stay, here is what you can expect....

This house has been cosmetically updated, not "renovated, gutted or re-done" which means it might seem a bit old, a bit well worn, a bit quirky but full of charm, some original artwork and history, history, history!
Summertime- full starry skies & bright moons, lightening bugs, minimal traffic or city sounds, you may even hear the coyotes yipping!
Wintertime-cozy, watching the snow fall out the living room window, sunrises, board games at the dining room table, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, building a snowman in the front yard!

**Farm Tours are available at request- Our Farm has been in the family since 1865, we have 3 farmstead locations all within a half mile of each other. Tours may include a wagon ride, viewing a real 1800's log cabin, snuggling with goats, barn kitties and horse kisses**

Enjoy beautiful Sunsets and Sunrises year-round!
Enjoy the firepit (wood provided), Grill and outdoor patio in the Summer and bring your snowshoes and cross-country skis for the Winter time!
Northwood's Country Club with their "Nasty Nine" Hole Golf Course is located behind the house, cart available upon request!

Located on the most popular country road in the county referred to as "the loop." People enjoy walking, biking, running and driving the loop because of the paved road, easy access from town, beautiful country scenery and bridge crossing.
Ochee Yahola Park with wooded trails is located just off the loop past Burgett's Bridge, about a 1.5mi from the farm.

*High speed fiber optic broadband Wi-Fi
*The house has multiple AC units that keep it cool in the summer and zone heating to keep it warm in the winter.
*The shower/tub combo overlay is an insert over the original existing cast iron tub. These inserts have flexible tub floors to accommodate different tub shapes, so you'll notice a little squish, this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. There are also handrails and anti-slip strips for added safety.
*A common North Iowa Farm pest are orange lady bugs, flies, and box elder bugs. We spray multiple times a year, but you may still encounter them around the house and farm.
*Exterior security cameras viewing the property and entrances to all buildings recording 24/7.
*RBR Massage & Bodywork Studio located on the same property, but tucked out of site from the house and has its own parking,

Great Farm House

Highly recommend if ok with one bath. I would recommend. Great value. The sun room - Bed room does get very warm due to all the windows. AC Split was not working for us but fortunately the temps dropped to 36 from 78 the weekend we stayed. Very clean plenty of towels and hairdryer with iron and washer and dryer. Thank you Paige

Red Boar Ridge

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Red Boar Ridge! We were in town for a wedding and booked the rental as a home-base for our long weekend. Everything we needed was available for our use (washer, dryer, blow dryers, towels, etc) which made packing for our travels real easy. Check-in was super easy.

Cute farmhouse

We loved the decor! The house was perfect for our group. We were in town for a wedding with our 2 children, my sister and her husband and my college aged nephew all stayed with us. We only wished the refrigerator had an ice maker, but that is not a deal breaker. The town was adorable and we felt welcomed everywhere we went. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn’t do much adventuring.

Amazing

We had a wedding in the area and wanted somewhere cozy to stay with our two children. Paige’s farmhouse was perfect and both kids enjoyed it. We were able to go on a farm tour one morning and had a blast!

Just what we needed.

Stayed in Northwood for an extended family gathering and wanted a place to socialize with my smaller group. Great dining table for playing games with the kids safely asleep nearby. A working farm, so kids need to be 100% supervised, but that's true anywhere. Plenty of space for outdoor fun though!

Family Wedding Iowa Weekend

Hi! The property is a beautiful location. The farm is rented out to other folks for livestock and maybe more. The house is an old farm house, which we're used too. It's very charming! The beds are great! The AC did work with the window units and fans. The patio room is very nice. The front bedroom is also very nice. The upstairs bedroom needs new floor coverings. The inside needs cleaned better. There is too much heavy dust and then there were many lady bugs on the carpet. The AC unit remote in the patio bedroom didn't work, but was able to find a battery. Paige is a great host! She happened to be out of town, but no problem. Our family really enjoyed being together instead of separate hotel rooms or hotels. Thank you for renting to us!

Country Getaway

The house is very cozy. It's out in the country but town is not far away which is convenient. Great price for the size of house that you get. My gf and I enjoyed our stay. Plus they do allow you to bring your dog! Just keep them off the furniture and beds. We would visit again if we're in the area and would recommend it to others.

Weekend Snow Getaway

Our stay was excellent. The farmhouse was just as advertised. The location was perfect for a family with young kids to be out in the country, but not remote or hard to get to. The house had plenty of space for us to not feel like we were on top of each other. Our kids enjoyed seeing the animals on the farm and playing in the snow!

Perfect for a wedding weekend!

We were in town for our daughter's wedding. The property offered us a peaceful place to get away from the hectic wedding activities. It was also perfect for our family as it gave everyone enough space to be in without getting in each other's way. The bridesmaids were able to enjoy their morning getting ready together in a very comfortable, homey atmosphere. The home provided everything that we needed and even reminded me of my grandparents' farm from my childhood, which was an unexpected perk. Also, Paige was extremely accommodating when I needed to come back and look for a missing item after check-out.

Cute Farmhouse!

This farmhouse is very cute! Paige is also very communicative! There are lots of amenities the property offers we didn’t get the chance to take advantage of. Being an old farmhouse it does have some of the typical things you would expect. The only things we would have really liked to have change are the doors to the bedrooms. The one off the dining room is a sliding barn door and since the house sloped backwards, it wouldn’t stay closed. The second bedroom had a proper door with a nice big window in it, but no curtain to provide privacy. If you are a light sleeper, that second room might be a bit tough for you. It has a lot of amazing natural light, and you can hear the sounds of the birds singing to you as your natural alarm clock. I did find that some of the windows wouldn’t lock shut so perhaps if they were more securely shut, the sound wouldn’t penetrate as much.

Milestone birthday celebration

My brothers and sisters gathered at this property to celebrate our mother's 90th birthday. The house was large enough to allow for family dinners and conversation around the dining room table but also gave us the space to have a little quiet time, if needed. The yard was so nice and provided a backdrop for some memorable family photos and videos.. I also have to give a shout out to Donnie, who went above and beyond to make sure we all had a wonderful time.

Spacious & Clean

After not being able to get a room at the casino we decided to stay at this VRBO and I am so happy we did! This house is great and had everything we could need. The kitchen was equipped for us to prepare our own food, TV's in every room, soap in the bathroom, multiple areas to gather, bedrooms were very large and it was very clean and organized. The artwork and decorations in the home were also very welcoming. 10/10 I would stay here again.
