The host was amazing with her communication. There were lots of extras around the house: different kinds of teas, coffee, specialty coffees, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, fresh eggs from her chickens, a package of bacon, hashbrowns, 3 separate areas to brew coffee, filtered water on tap at the kitchen sink, etc. These were all outstanding and very helpful in making our stay AMAZING!

Last weekend, my family stayed in your lovely country home on the hill. The occasion was the Celebration of Life service for my mother. Your house was a peaceful gathering place in the evenings, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning for my son and daughter and their families, as well as my husband and myself. There were ten of us in all including four children ranging in age from 6 ½ to almost 3.The playroom was the most popular room in the house and was full of fun as our grandchildren played with the wonderful array of nice toys you provided. The interactive farm, the giant building blocks and a very creative STEM building set were all enjoyed by little hands. This allowed the six adults to be able to visit in the living room and dining room while the children happily played.There were farm fresh eggs in our refrigerator when we arrived. We paired these with some sausage and bagels for a delicious breakfast Sunday morning. The kitchen had everything we needed for coffee and tea and fixing breakfast and snacks. The entire house was so well labeled! Very nice! You have done an outstanding job of decorating the home and making it a calm, welcoming place to be. We all slept well on the nice beds.Our grandchildren enjoyed watching the donkeys (with the donkeys on one side and the children on the other).The house was exactly what we needed. We really appreciate your hospitality and responsiveness and highly recommend your lovely country home to anyone!

Great Stay!
My family and I (6 in total) stayed at this home for my son’s graduation from NALTC. It was inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed our time here very much. Bonnie & Steve are wonderful hosts, having brought us carrots to feed the donkeys and farm-fresh eggs for our morning breakfasts. They were very easy to communicate with and made our stay a pleasurable one. Hope to be back some day!

Perfect and Peaceful
My family and I stayed here while taking our son to school at NALTC and this was the perfect place for our home base. There was plenty of room for the whole family with 2 master rooms and a multi bed room for the kids. We appreciated the little extra amenities like coffee bar and phone chargers...
A farmhouse charm inside and cute outside, the front porch was perfect in the mornings and evenings to sit and relax with nature sounds we don't normally hear. Check-in/out process was seamless and communication with the hosts easy and responsive. Will definitely stay again.

Hone away from home
From comfortable beds to an outside sitting area this house on the hill has what your group needs. Plenty of room for everyone. Away from noise or disturbances but close enough to town to run in for anything you might need. Sit on reclining couch to watch TV or outside under the umbrella watching the hummingbirds. Lots of parking and beautiful gardens. Inside is clean and neat too.

Wonderful stay!
My sister and I were in town for Motocross at Loretta Lynn’s and this was the closest location we could find that felt truly safe. Bonnie had excellent communication, helped us with anything we asked and it was comforting to know she was close with just the two of us traveling. The home was clean, cozy, in a quiet area and the beds were very comfy! There were also plenty of chargers which saved my rear end because I left every last one of my own at home. Those little details really stand out to me and speak to the care in guests having an excellent stay.
