So many thoughtful touches, water in every bedroom, full coffee service, robes and slippers, more towels than we could have used. It was lovely with beautiful touches throughout the home. Lots of historical significance there and the story of the home was shared on a table by the front door. We will definitely stay there again if in the area to visit family! ##### Malinda B.

We especially enjoyed the well stocked kitchen - coffee and bottled water were appreciated! Books, games, DVDs, robes and slippers were a nice added touch! Quick communication with the owner made the process easy. Thanks for a great stay! ##### Jane M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Silver Creek Farm 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eliminate cross house access for security Pretty good stay, would give higher rating if there where no locked doors in the bedrooms leading to other parts of the house. Who is gonna feel safe leaving children in bedrooms like that? These same rooms are great for adults though. ##### Silver Creek Farm Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alina H., Northwest Indiana 14 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Plenty of space We were visiting my younger sister who just purchased a condo in New Castle so we wanted to stay nearby. My mom traveled with me and my two kids (5 and 13). The house was perfect as my mom had her own space and we could all spread out. Everything was well stocked and the kids loved the games. My mom enjoyed the bedroom with the attached bathroom. Definitely a perfect place for future visits and big enough to bring my husband and other sister along with too. Thank you! ##### Alina H. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob F. 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptionally charming home, so thoughtfully prepared! My wife, teenage son, and I have visited many Vrbo properties, but this one stands out for its charm and the property manager's attention to detail. The photos of the interior don't do it justice; every room - including the kitchen - is filled with memorabilia that seems plucked from a movie set. (The difference is that these items are authentic rather than staged.) Additionally, the host's attention to detail is wonderful - there are instructions and courtesies everywhere, down to water bottles placed on both sides of every bed. We had a wonderful stay, and look forward to returning. ##### Rob F.

It was less than 10 minutes away. Which was perfect. The hosts were perfect, the communication was perfect. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We plan on staying again. ##### Nicole B.

It was close enough that when the power went out throughout the town, we were able to take our food to the shelter house and cook it there since they had a generator!!! Everyone had a great time at the Newhouse Inn! ##### Renita L.

This home was perfect. My 85 year old mother found the bed very comfortable, and the house was stocked with everything you would need. John was so responsive and pleasant. We would recommend this home to any family, and feel grateful there was such a nice place so close to the birthday party! ##### Susan D.

Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy W. 19 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed Our Stay The history behind the house is very unique and interesting. Slippers, robes, and bottled water were a very nice touch. As well as the games and books. We were in town for the basketball tournaments going on at the New Castle high school. The house is just a short drive and fit our needs perfectly. ##### Tammy W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy B. 1 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Finding the house was very simple. John met us at the door and gave us a tour of the home. He provided some history behind the house which was really neat. The beds were very comfortable. Not one of our group of 10 had any complaints about not being able to sleep. The kitchen is very well equipped. There were breakfast supplies provided which was very much appreciated. John made certain we had everything we needed. We had plenty of everything and did not require extras. We have rented homes previously from VRBO and none have been as nice as this one. This is the first time we did not have to clean the house upon arrival. We would like to thank John and Charolette for their wonderful hospitality. We will definitely rent this home the next time we visit my husband's family. ##### Kathy B.
