The Space
This area was settled in the late 1700's. Both the main farm house and the little house are post and beam construction. The stream which flows around our yard goes under the barn and through the milk house. It was used to cool the milk in times past.
Our dogs have an invisible fence which keeps them in the yard behind the big house. You're welcome to come over and visit with them. They will try to get you to throw their toy all day so that they can bring it back to you. Warning. The dogs are very friendly, but very big and very messy. They play in the stream and then come to greet you both wet and dirty!
There are two cats that live in the barn. Sometimes they like to be picked up and sometimes they don't. They are not allowed in the house.
Guest Access
There are picnic tables, swings, and a grill by the pond. The walk to the top of our hill is definitely a bit of a workout, but the view is worth it!
There is a phone in the little house. Ask about making calls. (Your cell phone may or may not work. Your GPS may or may not work, and (website hidden) maps doesn't seem to be able to figure out where we are.)
Interaction with Guests
Let us know what you desire. If you just want to be by yourselves, we'll leave you alone. If you want to have meals with us in the big house, that can be arranged. We love to visit with people, but our first priority is to give you what you need.
The Neighborhood
This is a farming area. The farms are still small family farms and there are many Amish in the area. We believe we have some of the most beautiful scenery you can find. It' a mixture of hilly farms and forest. There are cows, horses, and sheep grazing in pastures. Deer and turkey are plentiful.
Getting around
You'll need a car to explore the area. Roads are well maintained, but hilly and curvy. Allow a little extra time driving if you aren't used to the hills and curves. There could be a tractor or a horse and buggy just around that curve.
There are a multitude of unique little villages, each with their own variety of interesting shops. Let us know your interests and we'll head you in the right direction.
Other Things to Note
Those interested in the horses are able to interact with them with supervision.
