Other things to note The farm house was built in 1854 and has a rich and colorful history. It has been fully renovated within recent years, however, many rooms still have the original plaster walls and there are some quirky little things about the house that make it both interesting and charming, but also require a certain amount of appreciation for old things, and therefore may not be best suited for young children. This is a non-smoking, dog friendly home, and a working farm. We have horses, goats, barn cats and free ranging poultry. (Cats are never allowed in the house). We pride ourselves on offering spotless clean accommodations and go above and beyond normal protocol for enhanced cleaning recommendations to ensure your safety and peace of mind. We leave additional cleaning supplies in the house for your use and offer additional cleaning services throughout your stay as requested after your arrival.
