Beautiful house
Great house, very comfortable, excellent restoration. We had an awesome time. There was an area-wide power outage the first night, hosts were very caring and responsive in that unexpected situation. We hope to stay again!

Beautiful farmhouse
The property was clean and well supplied for our party of 6. This is definitely a place that’s is warm and inviting. It allowed us to put down our electronics and play games (provided by host) break bread as a family and enjoy the surroundings. It was outside of the town we were there for (Marquette) but close enough to travel back and forth several times. The host answered our questions and for a first time VRBO host did an amazing job from
Communication to what the place offered highly recommend and hope to stay there again
