There are also friendly outdoor barn cats that roam the property, adding to the farm's charm. For entertainment, the TV is connected to an antenna, providing access to over 30 local channels, and there’s a DVD player with a generous selection of DVDs. While there are no streaming services, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained during your stay.
A Farm Experience Like No Other As this is a working farm, you may see the owners tending to the horses or other farm tasks during the early mornings and late afternoons. They live in a separate home on the property, respecting your privacy while also being available for a warm hello or assistance. Guests are invited to explore the property through guided tours, including trails and ATV rides (small donations appreciated). Riding lessons are also available for an additional fee of $50 (waiver required). You can also visit the adjacent antique shop to hunt for vintage gems.
Relax & Unwind For some unplugged fun, the family room is stocked with board games and DVDs. Or, head outside for a game of cornhole. In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to prepare meals, including a gas stove, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, crock-pot, and more. The dining area features a charming drop-leaf table. The full bathroom includes a sink, toilet, and tub/shower combo, but for a truly unique experience, guests are welcome to try the 2-seater Johnny outhouse!
Extras for a Comfortable Stay For convenience, the farmhouse is equipped with an all-in-one washer-dryer for guest use. Start your mornings with coffee in the window seat located in the living room or enjoy your time on the patio, soaking in the peace and beauty of farm life.
