Horse Farm with a lake view: The Grooms A-frame

The "Grooms Cabin" name comes from its history as the residence for the farm's employees charged with caring for the horses. This A-frame cabin is located at the high point of Narrin Farms with a gorgeous vantage point to see much of this 56 acre property on Lake Narrin. Enjoy our many amenities, including a private hot tub, fire pit, fenced in back yard, hiking trails, and animals big and small who call this place home. The cabin is equipped with a full kitchen and bath, heating and air conditioning. Enjoy the fire pit in the fenced in backyard. Relax in the hot tub outside the front door that's available for your private use. You'll find a Keurig coffee maker, breakfast basics, and other amenities to help make your stay special. Note: cobblestone walkways, decking, and a spiral staircase that leads to the loft upstairs could make for tricky footing! The spiral staircase is a tight squeeze for taller guests. There are three other cabins nearby on the property so you will see other guests on the property. The cabins are far enough apart where you will not be disturbed by the other cabins and will still feel secluded while getting to enjoy the peaceful scenery away from the hustle and bustle of home. There are forested hiking paths throughout the farm and access to Narrin Lake from these trails as well. Narrin Lake is a private-access, spring-fed lake with no motorsports. There are parts that can be quite clear and deep (85') and other sections are marshland. All of the shoreline is natural. If you plan to play in or near the water, I recommend water shoes or other foot protection. We are working on building out a range of experiences for our guests to interact and learn more about the horses that live at Narrin Farms. We are not offering riding lessons or trail rides (yet!), but hope to do so soon. ****Please do NOT feed the horses. The fences around the pastures are electrified and are on at all times for the safety of the horses and donkeys; please do not touch the fence.**** You’re welcome to visit with the donkeys, Jackson and Samson, or the cow, Maxim any time! Please do not feed the donkeys (no matter how much they beg, or how cute they look). ***Please note, horses and donkeys on the property may not always be outside in the pastures or accessible as it is up to the owner’s discretion. FOR YOUR SAFETY, do NOT enter the barns or pastures without prior approval by Annie. This is not a dude ranch.*** Your host is Annie who also co-hosts with Holly and Carl. All three of us live nearby and are available if need be in person. Annie will make sure The Grooms Cabin is ready upon your arrival so that you can walk in and make yourself at home. If you have questions, it’s easy to reach Annie via cell or the Airbnb app. The farm is located in a rural area. Expect a country atmosphere and small-town presence. You'll need to drive on a dirt road for about a mile to access the property. Our little town offers a 24-hour grocery store, bars, restaurants, and drug stores within just a few miles. Nine miles further down the road is the village of Clarkston, where you'll find unique and upscale shopping and dining. Major shopping malls, movie theaters, and big-box retailers are 25 minutes away. Please see our House Manual and Guidebook for details. There's not much for Uber or Taxi services around the farm. You will want to have your own car. Many GPS Systems will route you to an old commercial entrance off Glass Road. Make sure that you enter through the main gates on the paved drive from Bird Road instead. If you are planning to entertain additional guests or visitors during your stay, make sure you comply with the guidelines that are provided in the Rules section. There are a few farm dogs that reside on the property - they're our friendly pets but also have a job to do! Don't be afraid if you're greeted by them from time to time. We aim to provide a peaceful and scent-neutral environment to ensure that each guest experiences a healthy, comfortable, and enjoyable stay with us. Burning, vaporizing, smoking, diffusing, or cooking anything that leaves a distinct odor after your departure or finding any drugs or evidence of partying violates this policy and will result in a $250 restoration fee. Smoking is STRICTLY prohibited anywhere on the property or inside the cabin.
