What guests say
Reviews frequently highlight the farm experience—seeing animals and hearing morning roosters—as a memorable part of the stay, along with a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Guests also mention enjoying the seasonal pool and appreciating responsive host communication. At the same time, at least one review describes the home as needing updates and better upkeep, citing worn furnishings, cleanliness/maintenance issues, and a potential trip hazard at the entry. Overall sentiment is strong, but expectations may vary based on tolerance for a more rustic, lived-in property.
