Absolutely Wonderful

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, so quiet and peaceful sitting out on the porch or by the firepit. We enjoyed our time so much, perfect for a nice little get away for a couple or small family. The hosts son has a small side business making homemade cinnamon rolls, we ordered a couple and they were so delicious. A big thank you to the family for sharing their property with us.

Amazing Place!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! What a beautiful retreat to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet with the family. Wonderful views, gorgeous tiny cottage, super clean, and so many sweet calves roaming the field. Shelley, our Host was incredibly responsive and took care of everything to the tiniest of details. Oakley’s warm and gooey cinnamon rolls, that he personally hand delivered to our front door was the cherry on top! Loved everything about this place and hope to stay again in the future!

Shelley and her husband Matt have dreamed for years of owning their own rental property. It’s amazing to see it finally come to life here on our beautiful farm in Northern Kentucky.

In the fall, we also host the popular Country Pumpkins Fall Festival complete with u-pick pumpkins, hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, and more.
