This was perfect for our family of 6. The right balance of activity and relaxation at the same time. Everything we needed was at the house. I love the character of the house and property! So much history, I’m sure.

Beautiful Property

If you are looking to disconnect from the world, you have found a beautiful place to do it. The farmhouse is clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. The property is a very nice walk. It is located in a very remote area and is very peaceful.

Great Lake Weekend

Great stay, easy to find but very private setting. House was clean and well stocked for our needs. Very long gravel driveway which was no issue for our Jeep but could be if very low clearance car like a corvette. Would highly recommend as we enjoyed the property.

The instant my husband and his sis turned into the long gravel driveway of the Norris Farmhouse, they began to relax from their long drive.  The sight of the lovely farmhouse, old barn & out buildings bought a familiar warm feeling of their childhood, and the farm they had always wished for.Upon entering the home, they saw that the farmhouse had been beautifully renovated, and squeaky clean.  The host, Michelle, was very welcoming, and attentive as well. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances & utensils you'd need to cook up a nice meal.  There were extra blankets, linens & towels in the bedrooms, and the beds were comfy. They felt so peaceful & right at home at a time when they especially needed it, and didn't want to leave.Sorry I'd been unable to join them, after hearing about how much they loved their stay.
