Wedding weekend
We rented this to stay for the weekend. My daughter was married at the winery. This place was amazing. Anything we could have wanted, lots of space indoor and out, 3 refrigerators, folding tables and chairs, Cornhole and lots more. It was a great place for family friends and fellowship. Owner was super responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality time with family and friends

Farmhouse retreat
Our family had a lovely stay at the farmhouse! It is close enough to necessities (groceries, gas, dollar store, liquor store, fast food), but tucked away in nature. Some bees and newly spread manure kept us from spending extended periods outside at first, and even though it rained there was plenty of covered outdoor and indoor activities and spaces to congregate. The train goes by frequently but we got used to is. Overall lovely home and we absolutely will be back with friends!

Lovely old farmhouse with plenty of room.
A group of men for our church gathered from Wednesday to Sunday to watch the NCAA National Wrestling Championships. Everything was spotless. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of dishes, chairs, tables, etc. I was concerned that the wifi would not be fast enough for our viewing; but it was more than adequate. The owner stopped part way through our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. It is a peaceful setting. I would consider staying there again.
