Amazing get-away!
My entire family enjoyed our weekend in the farm house as part of our adventure to see the eclipse. The kids loved the horses and the chickens. There were 9 of us (counting 2 small children), and we were very comfortable in the space.

Easter getaway
Thank you for an amazing weekend Angie and Emma. Loved the quiet and the unique house! Your eye for detail is amazing. The kids loved the horses and getting to spend so much time with them. They learnt alot from you Angie. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break away in a beautiful setting!!

Happy New Year
We celebrated New Years in this rustic farm house. We loved the creativity and uniqueness of design. And my kids loved the wood heater. The owners were exceptionally responsive. 5 stars!

A Touch of Whimsy and Rustic Farm Charm
If you are unsure of whether to book this or not, let me help you: YES. Great options for groups and families, what you see is what you get (and more!), and the hosts are super attentive. Very cool!

Unique and fun stay
The property was great for our group and the owners were very easy to deal with. The house was charmingly eclectic and our kids loved it. It's out in the country, so it was very peaceful. We would definitely stay again if we're in the area. Thank you Emma!

Great getaway
The place was absolutely adorable - you could see how much love and care they put into every detail of their decorations. The horses and cats were so great! And the drive to Indiana Beach was a breeze. Only downside was no central AC which was pretty rough at night, but we spent the day away from the house which made it tolerable. They provided fans which helped a ton. Overall would return back, but maybe in the cooler months :)

“Birthday Beach”
I chose this property because it was very close to Indiana beach. When I tell you my family was more excited about this home and property than Indiana beach, I mean it! There was so much to do at the house alone, and all of my brothers loved it. I couldn’t have picked a much better stay. 100/10 recommend. And yes, I meant 100 out of 10.

Some things you need to know
I’ll review this property based on a wonderful experience., but there is things you need to know. It’s not criticism, it’s information for your visit, which I encourage you to take. We spent Thanksgiving here. Emma and Angela were excellent hosts. The trails, horses, and decorations made the weekend. Okay city folk, if you don’t know how to work a wood stove, figure that out before you get here. That is the main heat in the house. There are electric heaters in the bathroom and bedrooms on the 2nd floor, but you will need the wood stove. If you plan on cooking here is information you’ll need. The pictures of the kitchen showed an old style white gas range which I was excited to cook Thanksgiving dinner on, it was decoration. The actual stove was a tiny range the size of an RV range as is the refrigerator. There is a convection toaster oven. Bring your own cookware. Cookware provided consists of 3 fry pans and a 2 quart sauce pan, which were nonstick at one time, but no longer. Good knives. I pulled off dinner by military training. Adapt and overcome. I used every trick I knew. Using all resources, including the Weber charcoal grill at the fire pit. There is no TV. So I missed the football games, but that’s okay the Lions lost, again. There are games provided, which brings me to the next thing you need to know. The lighting in the dining room is awful. Which isn’t bad except when trying to play Trivial Pursuit. We had to use the flashlight on our phones to read the cards. The WiFi is passable. Bring apples and carrots for the horses and cracked corn for the ducks. They are delightful. In the area. The Oakdale Bar and Grill is great. Kroger and Pizza Hut are in Monticello, IN, 18 minutes away. Tippecanoe Battlefield is 30 minutes as is the Wolf Park.

Beautiful, peaceful historic farm house retreat
Beautiful historic farm house, just as listed- we had so much gun exploring the space and sitting around the wood stove playing games with friends and reading! Very cozy, wonderful recharge.

Just not for us
There was no air except one room, which I knew at booking but didn’t think it would be that hot. Very musty smelling, cobwebs and spiders. I took my mom here for her birthday, but she just could not relax or feel comfortable here. We also were excited to take our dog, who is 120#’s and he could not handle the heat and wouldn’t settle at all. My grandson who is 11 months was hot and irritable. I just feel this property was not a fit for us, and We ended up leaving after an hour. The horses were sweet and so were the kitties. The host was also very nice.

Short weekend stay
We enjoyed using the canoe and fishing in the pond - caught a lot of fish. Also enjoyed riding the bikes and going thru the trails. Very enjoyable weekend with my sons. Plenty of sleeping room for everyone. Close to town if anything was needed. Would stay again.

Simply Magical
We had a fantastic stay! We were only there for a night, but the owners made us feel welcome right away. The house had plenty of room and there was so much to see on the property! We loved visiting the horses! The house has so many creative and magical touches - we could have perused the bookshelves all night long!

Quite Farm Stay
We had a wonderful time relaxing at the house. It was so nice and quite. Loved not having a tv! Stay with my dog and we loved walking the trails, looking at the ponies, and reading on the sun porch. Will stay again when in the area!!

“Farm living is the life for me”🎵🎶
A wonderful space to recharge in nature and the house is a time hop to another era. The hard working hosts who are actively running the farm always made time to address any questions or needs. And even took time out of their busy day to give us a tour of all the flora and fauna. LOVED IT!!

Nostalgia
It was a beautiful rustic well taken care of property. My daughters really liked the Harry Potter theme closet under the stairs. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the grounds, but we were able to enjoy petting the horses and watching the ducklings. The hostess introduced herself when we pulled up the driveway and she was very friendly and personable. When we’re back in the area, we’ll be looking forward to staying again.

Peaceful
This house is amazing. Authentic 100+ year old house. So many rooms. Hosts were so nice. They checked in on us and were friendly but weren't overbearing. They genuinely wanted to share their beautiful property. Making friends with the horses was my favorite part. Walking through the woods was so peaceful and relaxing. Other than a few cars during the day there was no noise from the outside world, which is exactly what I wanted. Delphi and Monticello were only 15 minutes away with lots of unique places to get food. Hope to visit again.

Nice family getaway.
Host was excellent and responsive. Beautiful property surrounded by corn field on one side and forest on the other. Hiking trial on property through the woods and around the pond. Beautiful horses. We had everything we needed for a long weekend stay. It is only a short drive to Monticello and Delphi for good restaurants and activities.

What a great property!
Owners were great, checked in on us when we arrived interacted will with the kids. Answered our questions. Kids had fun fishing at the pond. Great trails to explore and animals to interact with. No TV which annoyed the kids but it was great for them to disconnect from the world and play outdoors! Looking forward to going back!

Delphi farmhouse
A great, authentic farmhouse atmosphere with wood burning stove, pond with ducks and geese out back, horses, woodland trails, etc. Just a very peaceful and lovely setting. Hosts were super - helpful and friendly and readily available, if needed. The farmhouse has a nice library in the living room, too. Perfect for us.
