Perfect for a large group! With ages from 6 months - 65 there was something for everyone—trails, fishing, chickens, trampoline, games, puzzles, quiet reading…it was all there. The kitchen was well appointed for all our cooking needs. The air conditioning worked great for comfort on the hot, humid days. We had a blast and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful place for a family vacation

Absolutely loved our stay at the farm. Well equipped and clean. Owner was a delight to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Lots to explore and enjoy on the farm. We really didn't want to leave, but we were close to St Louis and spent time at Six Flags. Enjoyed exploring Grafton and Alton. So many great places to eat. This was a family trip to introduce our new foster, and hopefully soon adopted, granddaughter to the entire family. So it is a trip we will remember.

Family Vacation Fun!

We had a great 4 night stay at this property. There are lots of activities plus collecting fresh eggs from the hen house. We saw many birds, heard a bull-frog and coyotes, plus saw several baby deer. The host was attentive, but unobtrusive. My one word of caution is to the seniors renting. There are two staircases that are a bit challenging. However, two bedrooms, the main living area, bathroom and porches are all easily accessed. Our family of 15 ranging in age from 8 to 76 had a fantastic stay!!

Perfect place

The house was incredible we kept finding new charming things around every corner and it was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was the perfect place to relax and celebrate our friends before the day of their wedding. There is so much to do all around the property. Incredibly memorable and scenic location.

Perfect family spring break!

We wanted a stress free, enjoyable spring break for our family of five, and had a wonderful time at the Grafton Getaway. There were so many fun things to keep the kids entertained, both outdoors and indoors, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and Brandon was very helpful and friendly with suggestions for things to do in the area.

Family getaway

13 of us ranging in age from 11 months to 76 traveled to the farm for 3 days. We enjoyed the house with plenty of spaces for all of us. The kids loved the garage with Pong and Pac Man, the outdoor games of chess and ping pong. We took a family hike, fished in the pond and collected fresh eggs! It was a great place for us!

The property is a lovely adventure!

We had a great time celebrating my husband's 60th birthday with a surprise trip with all of our kids and grand kiddos. The property had beds everywhere and we fit perfectly. The entire property was an adventure in our own backyard. So many things to see and do and discover in every corner.
