The Farmhouse has everything you need for a great stay. I stayed for a week and was very comfortable in this super stylish home. Communication was quick and easy, clear and easy instructions for finding and entering the house.
I look forward to returning and walking the trail that is steps away from the house. It was a little too cold for this Floridian!
Thanks for a great stay!
I stayed for a weekend while visiting Kenyon for a swim meet. The house was very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and it was close to campus. I would definitely stay again.
