Lovely guest house

Our stay was wonderful! The home is spacious and was perfect for my husband and I. Plenty of cookware and dishes in the kitchen and the host brought us fresh quail eggs one morning. It was so fun to wake up and visit the goats, pigs, turkeys and Nellie the cow before heading out for the day. Highly recommend.

Perfect Get Away Experience

We had a great time. Kids enjoyed the pool and loved the farm animals. Plenty of room to prepare meals and a large table to sit the entire group. Host was attentive and responsive to all request. Wish we could have stayed a few more days just to relax and admire the animals. A perfect #10 as a VRBO.

Fabulous place! I highly recommend it.

We loved our stay. Aaron made us feel so welcome, including giving us farm fresh eggs for our breakfast and introducing us to his family's farm animals. He even let me hand feed the baby goats - SO cute. Their property is rural, peacefully quiet, and quite beautiful. The house is charming and rustic, with a fully stocked kitchen and wonderful touches like fresh flowers and some homemade jam. The water has a slight sulphur smell, but I grew up with well water and it's no big deal. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillow options. Everything was so smooth, from booking to check in to leaving. We will definitely return and stay again, it is a wonderful place. I highly recommend staying here.
