Memories Made
Enjoyed a nice relaxing time with family and celebrating Thanksgiving. The house was awesome, and it reminded us of our farmhouse in Virginia. The big table allowed us to have a wonderful meal. We will defiantly use this house again when we visit.

Nice farm home in quite surroundings
This is a very nice old farm house. The inside has been re done and was very nice. We stayed 2 nights to attend the NIU at Notre Dame football game. Very short drive to South Bend. Most of our time was spent outside enjoying the fire pit. Every room had a window air conditioner and an oscillating fan which made for a comfortable temperature. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and accessories which was very helpful. More than most VRBO's we have stayed. We would stay here again.
The Farm is a rustic and cozy farmhouse. I was everything we wanted in our quiet get away from the city.

We enjoyed staying at the farm!
We all loved the Farm! We had adults and children totaling 12 people and we all had space to roam. The Farm was clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. The beds were comfy, the towels were fluffy and the kitchen was well stocked. We all enjoyed making s’mores and talking around the campfire at night.We enjoyed being out in the country and star watching. It was a great stay.

Andrews Graduation
Our family of 10 stayed at the property for Andrews University Graduation. The proximity was excellent. We had enough space and beds. The bathroom situation was difficult. There was one full bath located downstairs by the back door. Not convenient for anyone. There was one very small half bath upstairs with not much space for using to get ready. For there to be so few bathrooms but space to sleep so many, bedrooms need to be equipped with mirrors to do hair, makeup etc. It was quite warm when we were there and not all bedrooms are equipped with air conditioners (which are window units) The host explained that her mower broke and she couldn't finish cutting the grass...thats fine but overall the property was not well maintained. Overall the stay was pleasant and met our needs. Also the host checked in by text and was very kind.

Nice old house!
Host was very helpful and communicative! The house has nice gathering space and charm.
Also, and this was a BIG plus for our group which included an elderly person with a walker, IT HAS A RAMP to get in! (The bed on the main level is a tad high for someone with mobility issues to climb into however, but that person in our group just slept on the couch and was comfy.)
It was rainy while we were there, but it looks like a good backyard for nice weather (nice patio & fire pit, etc.)!
We enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay!
A few friends and I were in town for a wedding and stayed at the property with our dogs. It is a beautiful setting, especially in fall! We enjoyed using the deck and fire pit, and the beds were comfy.
One thing to note is to have an accurate count of how many people will be staying with you because that will change the price of your stay.

Charming 1870 farm house in the country with all you need! If you like to cook, you will find this kitchen well stocked and waiting for you! It’s in the countryside so very peaceful and quiet. Nice outdoor deck and all you need for the beach. The owner is readily available and eager to please. If quiet and comfortable is what you’re looking for, then this is the place!
