What an amazing spot! Perfect weekend getaway, close to several hikes in Shawnee and we enjoyed our time on the Rendleman Orchard. Came on a girls trip, but we agreed it would be a great spot for a weekend with our partners and kids. Will be back!

Anniversary stay

We didn't realize there would be no shade, so due to weather, wasn't able to be outside much. The kitchen was not as clean as I would have liked. Counter tops and stove had to be wiped before used. Someone's leftover food was left over in dirty microwave. Telescope was not able to be used due to lack of instructions. Overall, loved the cottage, reading the farm history and the homey feel. We were very impressed with the amenities! The property host was very reachable!
