About this property

Hidden up a long private driveway is a quiet place we call The Farmhouse. This completely remodeled home has a foundation that dates back to before the Civil War, with lots of land to enjoy. There is even a private swimming/fishing pond just a 5 minute walk away.

In addition to being quiet and secluded, we are less than 10 minutes from shopping and many restaurants and less than 30 minutes from Downtown

The Farmhouse is one of two available properties at Mike's Folly, a privately held working FFA farm.

Pool Playing tournament

We come every year in September and stay at this house this year we came in September and December. Only real complaint we have is the quality and amount of toilet paper that is provided. We usually bring our own or have to go buy some and that shouldn't be a thing.

Peaceful, remote.

This is a very quaint farmhouse, on a rustic property. The extensive renovation inside is very well-done but is definitely a work in progress. The surrounding yard, porch, etc. needs considerable attention. We did not explore the grounds. Beware, the pet and cleaning fees will just about double the cost of your stay. Great place for a family group.

Not very clean but has potential to be a nice place

The home itself is kind of neat it is really off the beaten path if you not looking to stay in town. My biggest complaint is the cleanliness of the inside of the home and outside. The yard was very over grown and un useable the inside of the house if it was cleaned it was a quick clean. I had asked if we could check in early to drop off our things because we were in town for a race that started before our check in time. The person replied very fast and said no due to the cleaning people being there before our stay (which we totally understood and had zero problems with) We get there that night there is food chunks in the sink. Most of the beds had crumbs and what looked like sand in them. One of the couches had a chunk of toilet paper sticking out in between the cushions. The main trash can in the kitchen had a walmart sack in it for a bag. (we went and bought trash bags) The yard was extremely over grown. There was 7 of us staying there The 3 kids choose to sleep on the couches due to how clean the beds were. There was a big storm that hit the first night and the place did loose power for almost 6 hours. (not there fault). I honestly would not stay again or recommend. I really think they need to hire a better cleaning service and mowing service. Also the guy that comes and checks on his rabbits that are on the property is very friendly but we had no idea or heads up this was a thing until 9pm the first night when he came rolling up the driveway.

A/C UNIT

The property itself was nice minus the fact that several light bulbs were dead. The air handler kept cycling in and off and not working properly. Very hot in the house. Hopefully gets repaired. Everything else was pleasant. Enough room. Nice location. Pond and kayaking was a great opportunity.

Worst stay ever

We came for a funeral. Needed a clean place to stay. Found hair everywhere. Bathrooms were used and not cleaned. Management never responded to our requests. Then they refused to refund the cleaning fee that I had paid and then cleaned for them. This place should not be allowed to host any guests at all!!!!!’

Not what it's presented as

Drywall is cracked throughout the house, nails and screws sticking out of doorways, mold in several places, exposed electrical junk boxes and breaker boxes within reach of children, food left under the edges of kitchen counters, the oven was full of burnt on gunk, floors are all uneven and bounce when you walk, yard is full of junk, and pretty sure the property owner was in and out of the house everyday while we were gone without telling us that was going to happen. There are spiders galore and many outlets don't work. House was very misrepresented in the listing. Will not stay again. Renter beware.

What makes this property unique

There is a lot of open space around The Farmhouse that you can stroll through. There is a fence on the south side of The Farmhouse but you are free to go into that area.

The Fishing and Swimming pond is located to the north of the driveway, about a 5 minute walk

We have stocked the pond with catfish, crappie, blue gill and small mouth bass. If you want to fish you will need to bring your own poles and tackle. Small bait worms seem to produce the best results for the crappie and blue gill.
