Super sweet farm house in an incredibly secluded and quiet location. Jill was very responsive to all of my questions and requests. Still working out the kinks with the WIFI but that didn’t impact our stay too much. Thanks Jill!!

Great little house but read all the fees

Great little house, very beautiful location and nice host that left us some snacks! However, I was not aware that I would be charged 20 extra for each of my parents traveling with my wife and I, so I didn’t appreciate that. Also upstairs bedroom in the attic is hot even with the window AC unit. Don’t think it would bug kids but my wife and I found it a bit difficult to sleep. I would recommend to couples or those with kids.

It was a super comforting home in a beautiful area. Loved all the wild life as well as the cats and donkey. Owner was super friendly and easy to contact. Feels very out in your own space but also close enough to some towns.

Cute farmhouse in the country

You can tell Jill really loves this place and it is a cozy little retreat. Be warned there is no internet or cable. There are some tv channels but many don't come in well. There is cell service. That said, it is so cute!! There are so many antiques inside and out to look at. The two cats are adorable. The donkey is so friendly and feeding him carrots was a highlight. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating on cleanliness was that it could use a deep clean and sone upgrade on the appliances - but, its understood that this is a farmhouse and some thinga like bugs, dust, and old tyme charm are bound to happen. It wouldn't deter us from staying again.

Rejuvenated my soul

This property was heaven on earth for me. After a few stressful months, a 5 night stay in this wonderful farmhouse on some of the most beautiful, peaceful property I've come across in the Midwes, is exactly what my soul needed. We loved walking the property with our dogs, sitting under the shade tree for coffee, reading, and relaxing while hearing nothing but the sounds of nature.I loved spoiling Dexter and the cats. I saw such an incredible variety of birds during the day, and the star gazing at night is was the perfect way to end each day Jill and Jim are just the kindest people and such sweet hosts. I took a weaving lesson from Jill and I highly recommend doing that if you have the time. Not only did I discover just how much I love weaving (new hobby unlocked!), i thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. Thank you so much for sharing such a special place with us. This is a vacation I'll never forget.

Sweet little farmhouse

Good stay. Home is as described. Heads up, no WiFi and our AT&T did not work there. WiFi is not listed as an amenity so that’s on me for assuming. Great communication with owner.

Jill and her husband were so nice. From the snacks they brought to being flexible when we needed to add days. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dogs, and they loved Dexter. The farmhouse was cozy and comfortable. It felt like being at home. I highly recommend the farmhouse.

The house was built in 1898 and definitely a farm house which has been refurbished. It is located in middle of a pasture which is interesting and fun. House is not fancy but welcoming and cozy.
