Charming farmhouse in peaceful countryside

This charming old farmhouse has been newly updated and sits on a working farm with idyllic views of a pond, fields, and farm life right outside it's large windows! The inside is adorned in chic farmhouse style with everything you need to feel at home!

Enjoy your morning coffee at the kitchen table or on the patio, both overlooking a peaceful pond, adorable outbuildings, and cows grazing the fields. In the winter, cozy up to a warm fire in the indoor wood stove! In the summer or fall enjoy the outdoors with a fire under a starry sky in the fire pit by the pond, or take a walk at sunset back the lane to view the large sky surrounded by open fields. The house includes everything you need to be at home, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher, washer, dryer, wifi, and tv with streaming capabilities. The main level bedroom has a queen sized bed, while the upstairs bedroom has a king size bed, and a landing on the second floor has a double. There are two bathrooms on the main level, one with a tub/shower and one with a standing shower. Upstairs, children will be delighted by the Kid’s Cubby, a nook the perfect size with toys and decor just for them.

Situated in the peaceful countryside, the property is less than 10 minutes to the nearest town with grocery store, restaurants, shops, live theatre and sites. It’s 15 minutes from various popular walking and biking trails. It is 45 minutes drive from Notre Dame and 1 hr. 10 min. drive to various beaches along the shore of Lake Michigan.

**This is a working farm with cows, chickens, and our famous friendly farm dog, Dixie who views herself as the concierge of the farmhouse. The house itself is situated beside a main farmhouse which is occupied by the farmer and his wife. There will be farm activity going on outside the main house, but the little farmhouse is completely separate and has its own drive and parking.

*Because of the steep stairway, woodstove, and pond, the house may not be conducive to toddlers or very young children not able to navigate these things. Parents use your discretion.

The house is really lovely! We enjoyed staying there so much and the owners were so accommodating and friendly! Staying there reminded me of staying at my grandma and grandpas farmhouse when i was a little girl. Its so special my kids could have a taste of those types of experience like climbing up those stairs, the secret nooks and catching lightning bugs in the evening. It was a perfect location for us too! We hope we can stay here again sometime!

A peaceful country hideaway

The Little Farmhouse is simply designed with a cozy vintage/modern vibe that makes it both beautiful and comfortable. There seemed to be nothing that the hosts hadn't thought of! We settled right in to relax and rejuvenate.

Absolutely amazing

We absolutely loved staying here with the kids. The house and the farm are beautiful with so much attention to every single detail. Michelle and her family are so welcoming they made us feel at home away from home. And then there’s Dixie, such a good dog! I really hope we have the chance to come back again soon.

Lovely Detour

A lovely little refuge from city life with just what you need and not much that you don't. We enjoyed our quiet stay on the farm, Dixie checking in on us periodically, and the little farmhouse as a base of explorations for Goshen, Napanee, and the Elkhart county trail system.

We felt right at home.

We appreciated the cleanliness of the property. My husband has many allergies & health issues so we need somewhere that's pet free & has AC. He also loves dogs so we still got to pet Dixie the farm dog who is very sweet. It's very quiet & relaxing.

Lovely and Relaxing!

Although we did not get much time to enjoy the home (had a wedding to attend) , we appreciated the lovely country setting and accommodations! Would love to come back to be able to relax and enjoy the cute back deck and pond. Loved hearing the Rooster crow and the Doggy greeting!

Great Communication, Clean House!

We really enjoyed our stay. I was in the area on business and my wife and 3 children were with me. They made great use of the house and enjoyed the property and especially loved the "kids nook" upstairs. Communication with Michelle was fantastic and she went as far as to let us check in 3 hours early as we arrived earlier then expected. Will definitely stay again when back in the area.
