We loved our stay at Mike's farm, the house was well-equipped and spacious. We were looking for peace and that's what we got!The views and property are beautiful and it was an easy drive into town.Mike was super helpful leading up to and during the stay.We were happy that it was also dog friendly.Would highly recommend.Thanks Mike.
Perfect place to be disconnected from the city and enjoy the nature. Mike was wonderful with all the information he provide us about the place and things to do. Such a great host.
For sure we recommend this place and will come back.
Well appointed house with plenty of common space. Wood heater creates warm cosy atmosphere. A/c if it weather warms up. Everything you could want for a pleasant farm stay. Very nice view as well. Walk around property very nice. Interesting drives around district.
This is a great property for relaxing and unwinding from city living. Communication with the owner was supurb and it made for a very enjoyable country get away.
Thanks Mike, for sharing your little slice of paradise with us. Wow, what am amazing property! We had a great time enjoying the views, sunsets, the little river and appreciating life in the country.Mike was always available for any questions.

Great location. Happy Christmas memories
Mike was responsive to any questions however it felt like someone had quickly moved out for our stay. Beautiful rural outlook quite a long way from Crookwell town.
Pictures do not do this places views justice! Fabulous location, place and host..
Great week spent in gorgeous countryside and serenity. Only sounds you hear are the cows, sheep, birds and at night, the crackling of the fire whilst stargazing.
The house was spacious and clean and warm with comfy beds and a well appointed kitchen. And Mike the host couldn't be more helpful or friendly.
The near town of Crookwell was lovely and the bakery is definitely worth a visit!
Its just the perfect, hassle free place to get away from it all.

Disappointing
Lovely rural setting but the house was untidy and unclean in some areas in the kitchen with way too much of the owner's possessions around. The hotwater in the ensuite didn't work. We received advice: no linen. All the doonas and pillows had been stowed away; fortunately, we had our own doona but it was unclear which ones we should have used; two of the pillow were damp. Just one bath towel was supplied and there was no key to lock the door. The farm gate was open when we arrived. We left after night 2 of the 3 night booking.
This place is amazing. I am a returning customer. Mike is very helpful and good at communication with his customers.
My family and friends always wanna go there.
Thank you Mike
The view is amazing and the property is beautiful. We had so much fun walking thru the paddocks and watching the sunset every night. Mike is a great and very helpful host. Definitely a holiday we will cherish.
We had a wonderful time, beautiful location. Sunset was spectacular over a glass wine and the host was extremely helpful. Highly recommended for those wanting a country escape .
Mike is a wonderful host, very generous with his time and very willing to offer his thoughts on maximizing your stay at his farm. Located within 15mins from Crookwell town, 20mins from Grabben Gullen creek and about 40mins from Goulburn. Looking forward to the returning back.
We really enjoyed and appreciated what Michael’s property had to offer us. We spent many daytime hours roaming the beautiful paddocks and at nighttime able to enjoy a robust fire looking at the amazing stars.
Relax with the beautiful views and tranquility if Lost River
Amazing valley views, a home away from home with a lovely cottage feel, host very welcoming providing extra house amenities , AAA+ excellent service , we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay , the kids had a wonderful time panning for gold, adventures in the bush and toasting marshmallows by the bonfire! We got lost in the serenity of Lost River Farm and would definately come back again!!!
This place is great, we really enjoyed and we will definitely go back again soon.
This place is beautiful and peaceful. We had wonderful time here and we will definitely go back again soon.

Great place for a relaxing weekend
If you want a quiet weekend away then look no further. Chilly outside and warm as toast inside.Great views of the countryside and a host who absolutely went out of his way to make us feel at home. The kids loved the cows and kangaroos and the adults loved the serenity and the chance to sit back near the fire and enjoy a glass of wine. The house is well appointed with everything you need for a great getaway. Happy to recommend and we will be back.
