Home Away from Home

Maurine was wonderful. She was always available to answer questions. Her home is beautiful and so comfortable. This was a unique opportunity to interact with all of the rescue animals that are all so well cared for. We are looking forward to staying again in the future. Thanks Maurine for making our stay so memorable.

50th Birthday on the farm

Maurine was a fantastic host! Her farm was everything as described and it provided the perfect getaway for friends celebrating a 50th birthday. The home was beautiful and had everything needed…the eclectic decor added to the charm! The animals were so fun to watch and you never knew who was going to greet you when you walked out.

Great stay on the Farm

What a sweet find. Couldn't have been any nicer! The farmhouse was perfect and all the rescue animals were wonderful. Realize this property might not be for everyone but for our extended weekend we couldn't have chosen a better spot. Maurine was wonderful to work with and everything was perdect from beginning to end.

Very relaxing place to stay. Nine of us from 18 years to 70 years, we all enjoyed walking around and visiting with the animals. The star of the show was certainly Tina, the goat. She visited the front porch often. If we weren’t there to give her immediate attention, she would often just relax in the chair till we got there. We also walked back to the water a couple times. Saw several deer and a bench to watch the water. Clean and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen for fixing meals.

Perfect - Even Better Than Hoped For!!

Such a great property! My kiddo was in heaven with all the friendly animals (we were too)! And the house - is Amazing! So many beautiful areas to sit and visit - inside and out! The beds were comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxing. Maurine was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful! The extra thought with the shampoo and conditioner, plenty of linens, condiments in the fridge (on top of a fully stocked kitchen!), the firewood. It felt like a family member had prepared ahead for us to visit. We definitely hope to stay here again in the future! So highly recommended!
So many critters to meet and visit with!

Perfect place for a planning retreat

A church staff planning retreat for our Christmas events for next year. It was the perfect place and everything we needed. Love also the animals and while it was bitter cold and snowing all week not just the view was incredible but the animals were still all around the property. It was a winter wonderland and wonderful animals just made it that much better. Its definitely a place we can highly recommend.

Beautiful, spacious property and home. Lots of sleeping arrangement options. Large kitchen, great for family cooking and conversation. If you are an animal lover, this is the place to be. We were welcomed in by a group of turkeys who visited frequently all weekend. Sally the goat was a constant friend as well. We also had a pony friend that came by the house from time to time. Lots of goats, horses, and cats to make friends with as well. We didn’t catch any fish, but had fun trying. Also enjoyed the nature, saw many bluebirds, cranes, and deer. Even saw a bald eagle. At night, we had lots of quality family and friend time by the campfire. This place combines a beautiful cozy home with all the benefits of the outdoors, making for a fun weekend with friends and family.

Perfect Place for the Event

The property is fairly remote, which, to me, is especially nice! It was very welcoming and cozy. Maurine is a wonderful hostess meeting our needs and offering horse rides for my two grandkids. I was here for my dad's funeral. So, all the animals and comfort of the home were very nice. I loved our stay and would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

Christmas on the farm

We needed a place for our three families to gather (total of eight adults and three teenagers) for Christmas as our home is under construction. The house was decorated and even a Christmas tree was up and decorated. overall, a great traditional Christmas feel to it, Moreen when the extra mile for our stay. But the hidden bonus was morning reveille the Roster provided, wishing us a Merry Christmas. Thank You Moreen we had a wonderful Christmas at your home.

Farmhouse stay

The house is beautiful and comfortable and has all the amenities we needed to cook meals. Being on a farm with retired horses, sheep and goats was fun -- my daughters and mother all enjoyed feeding the horses with finger carrots. And Maurine explained everything and was very responsive to questions we had. We had a lovely two nights there.

Lots of space, great working kitchen and lots of seating. We enjoyed the wrap around porch and the country air overlooking the pastures and animals.

Family summer vacay

All the kids including the adults absolutely loved hanging out and petting all the animals. They were all really sweet. The kids would just run out the door and wonder around the farm. The adults enjoyed the large spacious kitchen and hanging out on the porch. Small little beach 6 min away and other cute towns for shopping and eating about 30-60 min away. We all definitely enjoyed our stay. The kids will hopefully remember and cherish this unique, fun and relaxing farm house vacation.

It was just like staying at granny’s house!

We loved our stay! Eight family members from across the country gathered for a wedding in Lapeer. We had plenty of beds, bathrooms, and privacy; but more importantly, a spacious, homey, kitchen/dining area where we could ALL sit around and chit chat. Plenty of cookware for preparing late night pizza rolls. Morning offered rocking chairs on the front porch where we sipped coffee and watched the farm animals going about their business on the warm fall day. This may not be the house for guests with an aversion to farm life because of the smells, dirt, and noise that come with it but for us, it was just like being at grandmas house. I only with we could have stayed longer.
