Thanksgiving Family Weekend

We had a large group with family from Maryland, Kentucky and Michigan. The house was wonderful with plenty of space, bedrooms and kitchen room for cooking our Thanksgiving feast. We appreciated Sarah and Ryan who were extremely responsive and helpful, giving us tips and info about the area for places to enjoy on our stay. We had a wonderful time and would love to return.

Family Reunion

This property is a lovely old farmhouse with updated amenities. The kitchen is perfect for large groups to gather for meals and happy hour. We all sat by the fire pit long into the evening. The house is well furnished. We also enjoyed many small quaint shops nearby and the many beautiful hiking trails. Although we didn't require the fenced-in there was no fenced or enclosed area for children or dogs.

Country farm house

The house was well cared for and reflected the owners respecting of its age. It was enjoyed by all the guests. It offered a quiet setting to come back to stay each night. We did not need to prepare no meals during our stay. So, that made relaxation a treat. Many get conversations took some late into the early morning without disturbing others who sleep.

Cozy and Clean - Helpful Hosts and Natural Setting

We visited for a reunion planning meeting at Kenyon. The property is very cozy and had everything we needed. It's in a very natural setting - beautiful views. The property is only about a 5-minute drive to campus. The walk to the edge of campus is about 10 minutes but closer to 25 minutes to get to Peirce (the main dining hall). All in all very enjoyable stay. The hosts reached out to speak by phone beforehand and were extremely friendly and helpful.

Cozy spot

Plenty of places to sleep for a large group of friends, and lots of good spaces to gather (porch, 2 living-room like spaces, outdoors). The only things I'd change are adding a door to one downstairs bedroom that doesn't have one, and curtains on the bedroom windows. Overall a great spot though and very convenient to Kenyon College.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great weekend staying at this adorable boho farmhouse! We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with our immediate family and children. The kitchen was huge and fun to all cook together and the kids all enjoyed playing hide n seek and exploring the huge home and property. We went to Kenyon campus for some coffees and shopping at an adorable boutique. We also enjoyed the old train and park in town as well. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!

College Friends Reunion

The house was a good size for our group of 8 college friends. The commons areas were adequate for our needs. The bedroom situation was fine for our group since 2 of our members didn’t come but if all had been there, it might have been a problem. The lack of a door on the one “bedroom” just off the dinning room is weird. If that’s going to be used as a bedroom, a door or at least a curtain needs to be added. Also we all tripped on the hearth in that room! The rugs seemed like possible tripping hazards as well, especially upstairs where they’re curling up on the corners. One of the guests mentioned that the upstairs bathroom in the main house wasn’t very clean. The bathroom in the “apartment” was adequate though clearly still being redecorated. I noticed some interesting paint applications. The kitchen was sufficient except that the ice maker in the fridge wasn’t working and there were no dish cloths or towels and no dishwasher detergent. We were glad we brought paper plates and plastic utensils. The well water is quite stinky but that can’t be helped. The bushes in front had recently been trimmed and the branches left on the ground. Kind of messy looking although this time of year, we weren’t outside much. Overall it was a nice place for our group and the price was good. I arrived at about 3:20 to check in and the cleaning crew was still there. That was a bit awkward.

Family bonding

The location was great. Yard was awesome. The large kitchen and dry kitchen were magnificent for 14 people. Beds were comfortable. We only had 2 down falls. The one bedroom has 2 entrances but only 1 door. We made a makeshift door with a sheet and a quick drive to Walmart for a tension rod. The other was the fire pit. Thankfully the guys were handy enough to make it work but the home needs a new safe fire pit. Great place for 2-14 people. Read fine print about pricing. More people….more money. Overall it was a great place and the owners were quick to answer any questions.

Charming old house

Overall a decently great stay. Great outdoors, good kitchen, and nice vibe. Unfortunately, there were some things that could have been better. The AC upstairs in the hot weather was not optimal. The only bedroom downstairs had two doorways, one of which had a door that didn’t close all the way, and the other one had no door so there was no privacy. Lastly, I know there is nothing you out can do about it, but the well water was pretty stinky.
