This had to be one of the very best properties I've rented. Not just because everything was perfect in the house, but the owner treated us like we knew each other for years. The house was very clean, well kept and has all that's needed. The space was perfect for us. Parking was even better. The backyard is huge. Was so relaxing. Elizabeth the owner checked in the 1st night with fresh eggs and items to make smores. She wanted to make sure our self check in went smooth and we had everything we needed. She even let us visit her farm. My godson had so much fun feeding her horses & chickens. We will definitely be back!! Thank you Elizabeth.

Freehold Family Visit

This home was an excellent choice for us because my sister lives just a couple of miles from the Vrbo. We arrived as the sun was about to set; the owner had prepared the home with a cozy gas fireplace lit and the lights on. The home itself was clean and just as stated online; spices and other cooking needs were available, all the fixings for smores, and a great selection of coffee and creamers. The propane tank was filled so that we could BBQ and we took advantage of the smores building on the grill because the backyard was covered in snow. Only a couple of issues: the lock pad on the entry door was not working but the owner was quick to the rescue even at 9 pm, the TV in the guest room was not connected (not a problem for us), and a panel missing off the bathtub exposed the inner workings of the tub. The garage was still falling down but I hope this will be fixed for my next visit. As the previous sentence states...yes, I would stay there again:) Thank you!

Great town, beautiful views and wonderful people.

We had a last minute need in the area for a family memorial. Elizabeth was more than accommodating!! Long day of travel and a midnight arrival. The communication with Elizabeth allowed me to provide her the details. In doing so- she prepped the house for our arrival to include a super late check In (after normal hours) and even had breakfast on site for us. Fresh farm eggs, bread, fruit and a sweet treat. The house was completely stocked with all of your needs. Cozy- comfortable- perfect. Elizabeth let us know she was in the process of renovating the property. Which didn’t bother us and wasn’t anything major. Small little things that she is doing to better the property. Great stay and we are looking to come back. Thank you again!

Best Host, Clean and fully stocked house

Elizabeth takes pride in her house and goes out of her way to make sure each and every detail is taken care of, the amenities, the cleanliness, and everything in between. We stayed with 3 kids and she made sure each and every child has toys for their age she set up a swing set w/ a slide, a kiddie pool and much more. If you’re looking for a caring host and a well taken care house to stay in choose one of Elizabeth’s houses and you won’t regret it.

comfortable house and a beautiful farm

My husband and I recently stayed at this property with our two teenaged kids, and we enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and a decent stove, so we were able to prepare our meals there. The beds are comfortable, and the sofa opens up to a very nice sofa bed. Our favorite part of the stay was our visit to the nearby farm! Elizabeth and Jay were very welcoming, and invited us to interact with their chubby turkey and chickens. They really love their animals! They also offered us some fresh eggs, which were delicious! I highly recommend this property, and look forward to returning there for another visit soon.

Not as advertised

When we arrived ALL the doors were left unlocked-the host later said we had nothing to worry about, it was safe, garage looks like it's about to collapse, lawn was overgrown, no hammocks, trash left on the outside deck near the bbq that didn't look like it would work, and a rusty swing set. The "jetted tub" has no use since there's not enough water to fill the bathtub, ended up losing use of all water on the 4th night- owner acted shocked that we "went through it all already"-she had a make shift well down in the basement they were filling manually. She did offer use of one of her other properties if water could not be fixed, but after seeing the state of this property, I wasn't very interested. The pictures show a washer so we assumed that one was on this property as well and it is not. There were candy wrappers and dust on floor and dressers so they might want to double check that before guests arrive. All in all it was good for a place to sleep, just beware-you are not getting what is advertised!

Adequate at best

The house was clean. The bedrooms were very small and had beds that were probably standard size. My husband and I each took a bedroom after the first night of a cramped sleep. The water is an issue. The bathroom sink has practically no water coming out of the faucet, just a tiny stream. We were worried about having a shower the first morning but it worked. The mattresses were old and sagged in the middle, the garage outside looked like it was going to fall down any minute. The owners did not communicate with you so if you're having problems, good luck getting in touch with them. No internet even though we were hooked up to the wi-fi. The message on the setting on my phone was wi-fi connected - no internet. Got crickets from the owner when I tried to get the problem fixed. No lights on the outside side of the house where you enter, just a wire hanging down and same with the deck outside. They did have coffee which was nice. The sofa's were badly stained and we wouldn't sit on them, to us, it looked like urine stains. Since they already had our money and we were visiting friends and didn't have to spend too much time at the house, we had no choice but to stay. Would never stay here again, there are lots of nicer places around for the same money.

Great Hideaway

It was newly renovated and very clean. Linens were nicely stocked and had all the amenities needed. Complementary K-cup coffee... But the biggest asset is the management and personal touch, we told the owner we were coming in late, so she had the lights on, and the house cooled down with air conditioning as the heat was unbearable that week. That was so welcoming to us. We would stay there again.

Overall okay for our needs

As was mentioned in other posts, Elizabeth was excellent to work with and responded immediately to a problem with the water service. Due to recent lack of rain, well was not working so they delivered water into a cistern. House was nice and the remodeling efforts were evident, although outside area could be spruced up a bit. Small finishing touches needed to complete the remodel were missing i.e. side panel on tub, stickers on newer products and small boxes/pieces need discarded. We were there for two nights and as indicated, it met our needs. Time did not allow us to visit the farm, but the fresh eggs were welcomed. I have no doubt that the small issues noted will be addressed by Elizabeth.

We had the time of our life, Elizabeth invited us to her farm and we were able to feed the 200 chickens, played with her german shepherd Rex ❤️ and take pictures with her beautiful horses.

Relaxing weekend

My partner and I stayed here for a nice relaxing weekend, the property is nice and it was the perfect time of year to visit the area. The house is newly renovated and well stocked. There were a few things that were not great like the fireplace not being set up yet, stickers still all the new stuff and some dust which was most likely from construction. Overall it was worth the price we paid and would visit again if in the area. -Scott and Jennie
