Staycation

Excellent rustic farm house. Beautiful screened in room that got lots of use for our 8 ladies getaway. The completion of the second bathroom was wonderful and the house was well equipped. It was great to have the quiet peaceful place to ourselves but it was also close enough to stores and beaches to be convenient.

Amazing property. We had an excellent time exploring the property and the local area. A clean and comfortable home that was perfect for our group of 7. My teenagers loved exploring the property and we all enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch. A truly perfect week at Kintyre farm. Host was very responsive. Thank you for a wonderful week Laura.

Beautiful Quiet stay!

What an amazing place to stay! Comfortable, rustic and quiet. Had a very nice stay, and absolutely fell in love with the screened in porch. Watched hummingbirds and songbirds fly around all day! Amazing!

Wonderful stay at rural retreat

We had a wonderful stay on the farmhouse property. The owners were helpful and easy to get in touch with and check in was very easy. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed for cooking meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch, fire pit, and the beautiful and tranquil property.

Winter stay at Kintyre

Our stay at Kintyre Farm was amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family to stay. The wood stove made it extra cozy, but it also had all the modern amenities. The dogs loved running in the yard as well. We'll be back!

Tucked away

I enjoyed my stay very much but my snobby travel friend , went home after 2 nights of a week trip. After she left I was able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Rustic Comfort

A beautiful old home that was well stocked and very comfortable. It is a work in progress but that doesn't detract from the wonderful feeling of being in your own little world but still close to amenities. We loved it!
