Great home

We were in town for drag racing and really enjoyed the quiet, tranquility of this property. There was plenty of room for six of us to stay in. Loved the booklet of places to visit around the home and the history! Will definitely book again if we are in the area!!

Fantastic Rural Home Experience!

We loved this home for our vacation stay and didn’t want to leave it, honestly. These hosts have a gem, and stock it with everything anyone could need - especially in the kitchen. The porch and firepit were lovely family time for us. We stayed to be close to Backbone Park and the white water rafting in Manchester. Really lovely, and we will stay again!

Great Location for Family Reunion

This beautiful farm and state-of-the-art farmhouse were perfect for our small family gathering. Six of us stayed comfortably in the house with areas to sit including the living room, large kitchen, covered porch and fire-pit area. The WiFi worked great for all of us while on our various devices and we felt very safe in the rural setting knowing the property had exterior cameras. And it was the perfect location to travel from to visit additional family and friends in the Delaware / Clayton counties area. We highly recommend this lovely home. Ann R ~ New Jersey
