About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rustic, rural, relaxing, family friendly stay! Excellent location 5 min to I74.

Built in 2013, Water's Edge is a secluded, warm, & rustic 2nd story home situated above a horse barn turned epic HIGH BARR Real Estate office with perhaps the best view in the county! Enjoy the sunrise over the pond from the 12'x30' deck, or the animals grazing to the south. The Farm Stay is entertainment central boasting of a large open living room/full kitchen with a wood pellet stove for your enjoyment on those cold winter nights! Not to mention catch&release fishing, corn hole, tetherball, volleyball, building a bonfire, or grilling out! Ask about our homegrown ground beef!

The space
All of the recreational amenities are visible from the house and furnished deck. You may find the sporting equipment and chairs for the fire pit conveniently located in the storage room on the main level just past the steps leading to the apartment. Firewood is stacked near the burn pit for your convenience.

The living area, and each bedroom are individually climate controlled for your comfort.

Guest access
Waters Edge Racing Stables boast of the 2 Bedroom home above the former stables. Incredible views in all directions including the 1.5 acre stocked pond. Two flights of steps lead you to the entry door with a lit key pad for your convenience. Please park on the dedicated gravel drive directly in front of the steps leading to the apartment. Do not park on or block the driveway leading to the back of the barn or behind the barn.

Guest Interaction
My personal residence is located on the same 20 acre property so it is very likely you may see me, but if not, I will always be available by phone or text.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The host was amazing and very informative with super fast responses and easy to work with! The only thing that kept us from 5 stars was the TV in the main living room was very small, the floor was very squeaky as was the shower floor, and the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak. Outaide of that the facilities were amazing, kitchen was spacious, loved the 2 bedrooms and the covered deck was great! Firepit located by the pond was cool and they supplied some wood too. Great overall experience, highly recommend for country style open space landscape! Oh and they had a horse on property that was friendly enough to pet over the electric fence! We named him Ross Browner lol. Thanks for a great weekend!

So I'm going to be honest here, I kind of want to gate keep this one. lol Everything in the listing is as 100% as described (or better) Barndominium w/2BR, 1Bath, LR, full kitchen (minus dishwasher), Washer, Dryer, deck, fire pit by the pond. The host is kind enough to provide folding chairs and wood for the fire pit, so be sure to enjoy an evening by the fire! When I first pulled in I thought that this was going to be one of the uncomfortable places where the rental was in the backyard and the host would be visible and underfoot for the entire stay. Boy was I wrong. If I didn't KNOW the host was on property, I would never had known. There's quite literally a barn between the hosts home and the rental property so it's quite private. The place is immaculate. Wood floors, nice comfy beds, HOT water (be careful, it'll surprise you) the works. I only had one complaint, and quite frankly given the privacy due to it's location, it's probably a quibble. There's no curtains in the front living room/kitchen windows. This feels odd when you realize that at with the lights on, everything is on full display. But... in the mornings it leads to AMAZING sunrises so make sure to get up early at least once to enjoy! Oh, and make sure to go say good morning to George (I've no idea what his name ACTUALLY is, but it's what we took to calling the horse that's on the property) The best thing I can say about the property is to ask the question "Will we stay here again?" Oh yes 100%

Relaxing Snowy Scenic Stay

We had a 3 hour drive through a snow storm but were very happy to get to Waters Edge and take a minute to breathe. It was a beautiful snowy scene looking out over the pond and seeing the horse buck & gallop about. Beds were incredibly comfy & sheets were very soft! Home was clean and welcoming. Easy entry instructions. We really enjoyed our quick stay and would definitely love to stay here in the summer months. Thank you for the simple touches of snack bars, water & pop in the fridge. Floors are pretty creaky and loud throughout the home but that didnt bother us.

Relaxing getaway

We loved that the living spaces were all on one level so we could hear the kids in their bedroom if anything was needed. Decor simple and tasteful. Peaceful surroundings, saw many types of birds, good view of sky/clouds out the side/kitchen windows for sunset. There is a gate at top of stairs so kids can play on porch, which is nice as well. Close to the freeway, but didn't hear freeway noise inside the home. We had a great time!
