Come Live on the farm

The Farmhouse provides a restful atmosphere in the Starke area. Our three bedroom, two bath home is ideal for families passing through for family holidays, girlfriend getaways, funerals, weddings, and romantic getaways. This home is a collection of rustic farmhouse style with the modern conveniences. It allows visitors to step into the country and enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life. Enjoy the view across acres of pasture from the sun porch or sit in front of the fireplace for a romantic night. Enjoy quiet nights and early mornings listening to the neighbor’s cows. It’s been said “it’s like walking into a hug.”

Built in 1970 this home was part of a working farm for 29 years. Beautiful, handmade barn doors grace this home with classy farmhouse elegance. Come join us for fabulous sunsets across the pasture.

Fun on the farm

We were looking for a good place to stay for a reasonable price, in order to attend our daughter’s graduation from UF. We loved the atmosphere, decor and the adorable cows! My teen and adult kids loved making s’mores by the fire pit. We hope to stay again! The kitchen was fantastically equipped and everything was so comfortable and clean.

A home, location, host!

This home was welcoming, clean, organized, well-stocked. Hosts Kimberly and Mike went above and beyond to answer questions prior to and during our stay. "Premier Host" does not do her justice; book this property and you will see for yourself. The location is peaceful and scenic, while yet being very convenient to nearby grocery stores and restaurants in Starke. We had a wonderful time here at the farm!

Paradise during chaos

My family and I left our home due to hurricane Milton. After bouncing around a little, we found ourselves at this property. The stay was amazing! Communication with the host was top notch. Very friendly and welcoming. The house and surrounding land was so peaceful. We enjoyed every minute we stayed. I would highly recommend staying here. We will surely be visiting again. While chaos was happening in our home town, we were welcomed and taken care of by the host and her family. A 100/100 for me!

One of a favorite places to stay anywhere.

We love to travel. Never hotels. Always renting people’s places. Farmhouse is a highlight every year. We come at least twice in the fall for hunting trips. Most years we visit 4-5 times. Kim has always been an amazing host and the house is clean, comfortable and has everything we need. Highly recommend if you want to disconnect from the city life.

A/C emergency help

Our A/C died in the middle of July, which is a major emergency for anyone living in Florida. Our host family worked with us to get us into the house as quickly as possible. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay. The house is charming and the view into in surrounding pastures is lovely. Would highly recommend!!

They aren’t part of the stay but it’s wonderful to come home and see them. The property is well maintained, clean, and spacious. Thank you for having us! We had a wonderful time.

Country life in Florida

My husband and I have stayed in many rental places over the years and this place by far tops them all. We stayed 2 months and couldn't have been happier. To be able to enjoy the Florida temps and sunshine while being in the country was the best. It was very peaceful with our nearest neighbors being a horse and a couple of cows. We loved the backyard and were able to enjoy many days of grilling, campfires in the evening, and on some very cool nights even a cozy fire in the fireplace. The Farmhouse was very clean and well stocked with all the necessities you would ever need. We really liked the open floor plan and the bedrooms on opposite ends of the house. It was great when guests were visiting. The beds were very comfortable and all the bedding and towels were of high quality. The surrounding area has many great restaurants and much to our enjoyment some awesome paved bike trails. Kimberly the owner was an absolute gem. If we had any questions, she was quick to respond and was always happy to give us suggestions on places she thought may be of interest to us. It was sad to leave this wonderful place and the friends we made, but knowing we'll be back someday made it easier. Thank you Kimberly for letting us call The Farmhouse our home.

This is our second year staying at this property for the holidays and we just love it! The quietness of being in the country takes away all the stress of living in the city. The house is laid out perfectly and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. The porch is always a nice place to hang out even in the rain and the back yard has a nice fire pit.
