We stayed here for our anniversary to be near Turkey Run and Shades. Very convenient to the parks. The home itself very cozy and well maintained. We were greeted with a sweet anniversary card and some yummy muffins. We definitely enjoyed the peacefulness of the neighborhood as well. I do recommend this home and would rent again when we return to the area.

It was overall good stay for my family, it’s old fashion but it was good! Just the bathroom had trouble
Very nice home with modern heat and air conditioning. Great interior of the home, modern appliances and a sauna too! Yard and parking was nice. The Turkey Park pass was a nice addition as well. The home is close to the park.
This home is the perfect spot if you are hiking the local state parks. It’s only 6 minutes from Turkey Run. The house is super cute and eclectic and everything we needed and so much more was provided. Highly recommend!
It was a nice old house next to a church very quiet. It was a lovely side yard was a last minute thing because we had a funeral in the area and it was nice to find some thing so Clean.
We were in the area to see the numerous covered bridges in Parke county. The location of this property was perfect for this activity. The home is creatively decorated and the remodel ensured good functionality. We will stay at this property again if we return to the area!
We’re surprised with some delicious baked goods on our arrival. Kitchen is stocked with coffee and tea to enjoy the vacation from the first minute. Perfect distance to enjoy Turkey Run State park. Sauna was a plus to wind down the day. Our host Stacie, was lovely and responded quickly. Make sure to check your Vrbo inbox to get your code before arrival. We had to find an internet spot before we could enter the house because I forget to my messages. All in all a perfect spring break getaway!
This was a Midwestern rural vacation stay with warmth of a visit to a relative’s home and charm that reminds me of simpler times. It was very clean with thoughtful touches in multiple areas of each room. The hostess has thought of everything with treats in the kitchen, popcorn in the living room, books, decks of cards, inviting clean bedding with sheets and linens and towels and toiletries included. Passes to Turkey Run State Park were quite welcome and unexpected as that was our destination for the weekend. It was perfect for our needs, and our pets were welcomed as well.
House was fantastic. Amenities were great. Nice having outdoor grill and fire pit for use in the evening. Short drive to Turkey Run State Park and other area attractions. Only negative was the back door and main front door did not have dead bolts that worked. Traveling with a family this made me a bit Leary at night that the only lock securing us were handle locks. Other than this everything else was wonderful.
As we drove up to this old farmhouse we were a bit worried as the exterior needs some work. We were pleasantly surprised once inside. The remodel is charming and creative. The home had everything we needed to cook a meal, a comfortable family room with a big TV and comfortable beds. They thought of little touches like a dog lead, dog bed and bowls. The side yard has chairs and a fire pit.
We love historic homes and the windows, woodwork are original and gorgeous!
A few cons which is why I gave this property 4 instead of 5 stars.
* the bedroom with the largest bed has the HVAC system in it with a tri fold divider in front of it. When it kicks on it’s loud and woke us up several times in the night. Unless you’re a sound sleeper, you will not sleep in this room. The next night we slept in the other bedroom which was more quiet.
* the Wi-Fi is slow but we were able to log into Netflix on the TV and watch that with some buffering. We could not work remotely using the Wi-Fi. I think that’s because we’re in the country.
* The exterior and back of the home are still being renovated. This didn’t affect us as we stayed inside the home or in the side yard.
Overall, I recommend this quaint home!
Everything was good. The house had everything needed for our stay and then some. The only thing lacking was an escape access for the upstairs bedrooms in case of a fire or other emergency.
We highly recommend this Vrbo. We had a wonderful time in this perfectly located, clean, welcoming, and whimsical farm house. The extra personal touches of coffee, creamer, and muffins was such a pleasant surprise and added bonus. This house offers plenty of amenities.We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful fire pit and peaceful surroundings. The highlight of our visit to this property was listening to and seeing the Amish horse and carriages pass by the home.
This home was perfect for our needs, centrally located between Rockville and Turkey Run with many Amish stop n shops just down the road for your farm to table experience. The sauna was the perfect start and ending to our days. We stayed for only 3 nights. With as much as we were able to locally in just two and a half days, we left feeling as if we had a full weeks escape. The home was very easy to settle into upon our arrival.
