Stay on the first floor of this 1880 home located in the 4th largest Amish Community in the United States. Nestled in this historic small town of Mesopotamia, is a unique New England style circle called "The Commons". Take our sidewalk, walk past the original 1940's Filling Station and into the park now boasting a beautiful winding walkway for locals and visitors. As you pass each home, look back at where it all started in 1798. Amongst the owners now, are Yankee and Amish living side by side.

The century homes in Mesopotamia are special to all the locals as they love our history and preserving it. Many have sat on our front porch in the past while enjoying the day. The home holds many memories, and we can't wait to share our little town with you. If you are an early bird you'll see the hustle and bustle of mornings as everyone is getting ready to be off to work. Then later again as people start to arrive home in the early afternoon. The evenings can be quiet or you may hear the clip clop of the horse and buggies going by. Wake up in the morning to a nearby puppy barking at the free range chickens and the crow of the rooster.
Please message us through Airbnb messages with questions beforehand or concerns during your stay.
SOON: Reading material on the renovation of the home and a Scavenger Hunt!
