Please Read Before Booking:

This is Simple Country Living on the edge of our 50-acre farm. Our home is nearby & I work from home, so I’m available if needed. We offer a private, whole-house stay at a value well below typical hotel pricing.

The property uses private WELL WATER, which is common throughout the area (Including my own house) The water is clean, tested & safe for bathing and cooking.

* Guests may occasionally notice a natural mineral or sulfur scent, especially with hot water. While filtration systems are in place & improvements have been made, it is not always possible to eliminate this entirely & this is normal for the region.

** Guests who are sensitive to mineral or well-water characteristics, or who prefer hotel-style municipal water, may wish to consider a different accommodation. The vast majority of our guests have no issues with the water, which is reflected in our long history of positive reviews. We recommend that all guests bring their own bottled water for drinking.

*** If a guest chooses to cancel their stay upon arrival & requests a refund, any refund will be processed only after the property has been inspected & confirmed to be left in the same condition as at check-in, with all house rules followed. Inspections are conducted during reasonable hours and may take up to 12 hours to complete.
