Our hosts were the definition of southern hospitality. They were proactive and went above and beyond due to an unexpected water main break in the area. The home was very clean, well maintained, and well stocked.

excellent property, better than advertised.

This is an excellent place to stay. it was very neat, clean and comfortable. But one of the nicest things about it were all the little extras the host has made available. like snacks and a large array of toiletries etc. Seems like little things but to someone who traveled a lot in his career the " the little things mean a lot" when you are away from home.

Merry Christmas at Farmstead

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The house was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The house was equipped with everything we needed plus lots of unexpected extras. The house has a lot of history, and we enjoyed learning about it from our friendly hosts. Great location to explore the area. We can't wait to return!
