About this property
Tom's Farm Country Retreat
Escape to this country retreat oozing with character and cherished since 1947 by generations of a single family. Antique, mid-century and boho make a cozy and delightfully modern inside. The property overlooks a creek and 150 acres of field and forest. Pristine quiet with lakes, colleges, breweries so close! This whole house offering, with four bedrooms is ideal for artist retreats, family gatherings, college visits, roadtrips, and long weekends. Tom’s Farm Retreat is a haven of peace. The space Quiet you can hear. Lush trees, birdsong, and a chorus of bullfrogs. The gentle sound of the fountain at Tom’s Farm. Built in 1908, this farm has been in the same family since 1947. The home is both historic and chic. Walnut panelled dining room from trees on the property. Winding oak staircase. Outside- two porches for your coffee or evening beverage, a grill and a firepit.
This whole house offering has four bedrooms, king, queen, full, and single each with an additional queen size futon in the living room. Two bathrooms, one on each floor provide shower and clawfoot bathtub. 3 bedrooms have doors directly accessible to the bathroom while the 4th requires walking through one of two others, or a trip downstairs.
A fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and dishwasher provides a suitable spot for a gourmet creation! The gas grill and fire-pit extend your enjoyment in evening hours, accompanied by the fireflies and sounds of pond life.
This property offers the best of two worlds. Imagine an immersion in nature with the charm of Conneaut Lake, the long-cherished small-town-on-the-lake destination only 3 miles away. Travel only 8 miles to Allegheny College in Meadville, or 20 to Pennwest Edinboro or to Pymatuning State Park popular for boating and fishing. While you stay, consider a trip to Lake Erie where you can beach or bike at Presque Isle State Park. Between Meadville and Conneaut Lake you will find award-winning breweries, a winery, trendy restaurants, meade, adorable coffee shops and golf courses (as close as 3 miles away!).
You’ll know you are close when you cross the little bridge with the sign “Tom Etter bridge”!
The spacious and charming character and ample amenities of this irresistible retreat provide the perfect spot for family gatherings, artist retreats, showers or bridal gatherings, Allegheny College events, or for a big-chill.

The farm house was amazing and very clean. We loved the back deck and the huge dining room table. More than enough space for all nine of us to enjoy a family golf weekend. Beth was great to work with and very invested in making sure we had everything we needed. We will be back again next year. Would highly recommend!
