It was a cute little house and when I first pulled up and went inside I thought there is a lot of potential here. However, the house is in need of little repairs, coffee maker doesn't really work, and is quite an odd layout with a bathroom and bedroom without proper doors. The kitchen is hot (no AC there) and is moderately stocked (I've seen worse but also seen better). Overall, I'd say the "little things" were lacking that help guests overlook the minor inconveniences. Not enough TP or paper towels, only 2 dish washing pods for 5 nights and 11 people, handsoap nearly gone in bathrooms, and overall felt the owner was a little chintzy (not even any laundry detergent). Definitely potential but the host needs to up her game in the little things to overcome the downsides of the property. Bottom line is we were not uncomfortable per se, but we won't be staying here again.

Overall, this place is not worth the amount of money they charge. They lock certain bedrooms and just give you the rooms they want to.We ended up with ones with shower curtains for the doorways. The upstairs bathroom also had a shower curtain and not a door.. When recalled, they didn't offer to come and fix anything.They just offered to give us a refund and we were kind of stuck staying there the first night because we had nowhere else to go.
Fly strips hanging in the kitchen with dead flies
The fridge was broke, and water was all over the kitchen floor from the freezer.
Surface dust and cobwebs throughout the house
The washing machine took almost five hours to fill with no water pressure. Later, we were told they did not believe anybody used it, but them, and they knew it was broke.But did not want to fix it

We booked from July 31-August 4th for my graduation from Andrews University with my Phd. We invited family to come and wanted to stay in a place together. We had 3 children, which I did not think counted the same as Adults, so I was also surprised by her question. The next thing I saw was that she charged me 150/per person extra to cover this. They put a blow-up mattress on the floor that was deflated. When I told her that we only had 6 with 3 kids, she said, "That is your mistake, and basically, she was not going to do anything about it." The host was quite rude and told me to look at the glass half full, and that it's too bad.I then tried to contact her about a few other things:There was also not enough toilet paper or paper towels in the house. There were also a lot of flies all over the house and it smelled funny. In addition to the smell of the house, the upstairs bathroom seal on the toilet was not closed, and there was a sewer smell in the bathroom that was coming in through the adjacent bedroom. The coffee maker was gross when we got there, still had old coffee grinds. We went to the store to get toilet paper and several fly traps, a fly swatter, and spray to make the house smell better. This house is also not good for the elderly. Be aware that the stairs are not up to code, and lots of slip rugs for falling. We made the best of it, but we're still upset about the host's reaction and the overcharge for the stay.

Enjoyed a nice relaxing time with family and celebrating Thanksgiving. The house was awesome, and it reminded us of our farmhouse in Virginia. The big table allowed us to have a wonderful meal. We will defiantly use this house again when we visit.

Nice farm home in quite surroundings

This is a very nice old farm house. The inside has been re done and was very nice. We stayed 2 nights to attend the NIU at Notre Dame football game. Very short drive to South Bend. Most of our time was spent outside enjoying the fire pit. Every room had a window air conditioner and an oscillating fan which made for a comfortable temperature. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and accessories which was very helpful. More than most VRBO's we have stayed. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed staying at the farm!

We all loved the Farm! We had adults and children totaling 12 people and we all had space to roam. The Farm was clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. The beds were comfy, the towels were fluffy and the kitchen was well stocked. We all enjoyed making s’mores and talking around the campfire at night.We enjoyed being out in the country and star watching. It was a great stay.
