Wonderful stay! Convenient location, pretty and really clean. The home is so well taken care of that it felt like everything was new and we were the first guests there. Cant recommend it enough. On the app it shows no WiFi but I confirm the WiFi works just fine. Thank you for the hospitality and until next time!

This is a beautiful place to stay. It has everything you need and is of a high quality. The host, Sara, is very friendly and helpful. It is a close drive to restaurants. We would thoroughly recommend staying at The Farmhouse Retreat.
