Awesome Family Experience

We celebrated Grandma's 90th birthday for a weekend at Tom's and Michelle's place. They were so accommodating and flexible. Our family had the best time. The inside was so nice and there was a ton of space for our 22 family members. We played games outside and inside and everyone had an unbelievable experience. Our family can't thank Tom and Michelle enough for allowing us to have the best family weekend we could have imagined. We hope to stay again at some point.

Ryder Cup Group

We met halfway between Cincinnati and Minneapolis with some friends that wanted to enjoy the Rider cup together. We watched it on TV and we played golf later in the day. We had glorious weather and the accommodations couldn't have been better suited to serve our needs. We had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much Tom!

Great stay

We had a great time staying at Agri-Hunt farms for a cousins weekend. The house was clean and well-stocked. Kitchen had everything we needed and bathrooms and linens were great. Beds were comfortable, though putting adults on top bunks led to lots of shaking ;) Tom and Michelle were very easy to work with. We enjoyed taking the short drive into Princeton to shop and eat as well.

Great Stay

Spent a couple of nights with a dozen of our friends for a laid-back bachelor party weekend. Fantastic property with room to stretch out and had everything stocked even down to the pepper grinder. Very convenient having firewood supplied on site (for a small charge). Would definitely come again.

Bachelor Lodge Weekend

We had a group of 20 guys stay here for a bachelor party weekend. This place is great for hosting a large group! Tom was great with check in instructions and directions before arrival and met us for check in. He even went out of his way to clear some additional land so that we had a good spot to toss bags. He gave a tour, laid out some rules and gave us plenty of great suggestions for things to do in the area. Believe it or not, the house is better than pictured! Plenty of space to spread out and relax. Kitchen is in great shape and stocked with equipment that made meal prep a breeze. Beds were clean, comfy, and plentiful. We had a great time and would definitely reccomend!

Amazing house for an unforgettable stay

The home was absolutely wonderful for our large group. It was beautiful inside and out. Extremely clean and our host was amazing before, during and after. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. The fire pit was also a huge hit. This home is a 10/10. The property was peaceful and beautifully maintained. You can’t go wrong staying at Agri-hunt farms. Thank you Tom for a great weekend, your wonderful suggestions and sharing your wonderful property with us. Plenty of seating and dining areas for 20 plus guests and the pool table was a nice addition too. This house didn’t miss a beat. I would highly recommend for large groups.
