The Farmhouse- country charm, room for family visiting, relaxing, or gathering

Ranch style home decorated with farmhouse charm. 4 bed rooms, 2.5 baths, books & games closet, and 2 living rooms for relaxing. Kitchen w/ essentials, including a full size dining room table with chairs. Nice yard view with shade trees and a winding stream. Relaxing and comfy. Located on the edge of town, off highway 18 for easy access to many sites for exploring and historic towns to visit. We have an on-site game room including board games, pinball machine, ski ball, and Pac-Man multi game machine. We have a NO animals allowed policy. We also have a NO smoking or inside any buildings policy, if smoking outside please take remnants with you. This is a very family friendly property that many use for weddings, funerals, and reunion stays. Contractor reservations need prior approval with host.

Beautiful Farmhouse

Wonderful home with a beautiful property. Very comfortable beds. We all wish we would have had an extra day to use the game room (skeeball is a favorite) and explore the creek/woods at the end of the property. It is at the top of the list when we go visit family in the area again!

Stayed for a family Christmas party in the area and loved the house! Plenty of room for three family units. Particularly enjoyed the game room. Close to a grocery store and breakfast restaurants. Will certainly stay again.
