The space
The home is a two story 1852 fully restored farmhouse. The dairy tour is located 5 miles off site at our dairy. My great aunt originally bought this homestead from the Church family who built this house in 1852, and the road is accordingly named after the Church family. Church Lane. With a newly remodeled kitchen and a remodel meant to keep everything as original as possible the house has all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but is as quaint, cozy and as comfortable as can be. The bottom floor has 1 and 1/2 bathrooms, a large kitchen, a cozy living room , a queen bedroom and a room off the queen bedroom with a daybed. The upstairs has a king bedroom, one with 2 double beds, a bedroom with 2 twin beds and a full bathroom with a new clawfoot soaking tub/shower! If you’re looking to stay with just 2 people, you can choose any room!
