Our stay was phenomenal. Table was big enough for us all to eat and play card on. Beds were comfy, bathrooms clean with plenty of towels. Kitchen was nice and big for us to sit at while others cooked. If there was one thing to pick on I would say the kitchen drawers and cabinets need a spring cleaning. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely stay again!

This home is charming and offers everything one might need. It was somewhat elusive to locate in the dark, so I would suggest leaving a light on for guests would make it easier; there's plenty of space for parking. There are stairs leading to the second floor where 3 of the bedrooms are located. Overall, the home is spacious and comfortable. Mary, the landlord lives on the 3rd floor but you wouldn't know it; the only contact we had with her was once as she was leaving; she shares the primary entrance to the home, but she is pleasant and nonintrusive. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. There is a TV set in the main area, but not sure what programming it offers. (I didn't see this mentioned in the ad, so perhaps this is something that would improve the listing.) Overall, this home was a welcome comfort after a long day on the lake and suited our needs perfectly.

Conveniently Located

We had a great time. It’s conveniently located right on the highway. All the activities we chose to do were easily accessible. The property owner (Mary) lives on the 3rd floor and she was very helpful and attentive. It was nice to have her available, and we’re happy to have met her. It is a large plot of land for children to play. Outdoor games are included with the rental (yard yatze, yard jenga, corn hole, tether ball, etc.). The mown part of the yard was plenty big for us.The inside was nice and clean. Very spacious for a family of 9. Indoor games are included (like monopoly). There is one TV in the living room (I initially thought that would be hard for me because I have a TV in my room at home, but it was a nice break to be able to lay in bed and read). Travel sizes of soap, toothpaste, lotion, shampoo are included in each bathroom - there were even complementary toothbrushes if we forgot ours. Dishes and lots of food staples are available. Suggestions: 1. The property is several acres. Having a mown path around some of it would give guests a path to take walks. 2. Upstairs hall lights are always on for safety reasons. It would be nice to be able to dim them because light leaks in around the edges of the bedroom doors. 3. To drown out noise from the highway, perhaps install some noise muffling curtains in the bedrooms (we used a white noise app, and it worked out perfectly, so not a big deal). We were very happy with the property and would stay again!

The house was well stocked, plenty of towels, paper products, soaps and anything else you would need kitchen wise (with the exception of a wine opener or wine glasses). It was mostly clean however when I looked up I noticed quite a bit of dust/cobwebs on higher up light fixtures and doorframes and there was a charging station in the living room that was covered in smudges. This might sound nitpicky but as someone who used to clean for a living I notice these things. The house was very spacious and the beds were comfortable. I believe it’s noted in the listing now and in other reviews but the owner lives on the third floor and uses the same entrance to come and go however we only saw her twice during our stay and weren’t bothered by it at all.My main issue with the listing accuracy is that it says things like “nestled in the woods” “tranquil farmhouse” that gives the impression that this house is tucked back in a quiet area and this is definitely not the case. It’s literally right next to a busy county road and most of our stay it was too noisy to enjoy time outside or even hear eachother talk. Also some of our guests said they could hear road noise from their bedrooms at night. One last note would be that there is overt Christian messaging and decor throughout the house. If this makes you uncomfortable I would skip it.

You barely need to pack

This place has literally everything you need. The guest house accommodated our large family comfortably and had all the cooking needs you could possibly think of. There were plenty of towels, beds, showers, pillows, extra blankets… you name it. Mary was a generous host, and her home felt like we were visiting family. Would consider staying again

House was comfortable and relaxing. It is a delightful old farm house - well updated with comfortable beds. It was closer than expected to a rather busy road. Needed to get use to the traffic noise.
