Love this place! So peaceful, house is cozy and comfortable, and loved reading the history of the property. It was exacting what we were looking for in a weekend getaway.
Great little place. No complaints. Trees coming back the lane need trimmed soon as they were running my truck. Wouldn’t even be close to a car though. A grill would be nice. Everything else was A+
I love the old trinkets and quirky decor. Everything is clean, the beds are comfortable. I have stayed here many times. The only improvements needed would be to make available nicer shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. This time the offerings were Head and Shoulders shampoo, very little (almost empty) Finness conditioner and soft soap hand soap. Also a lighted post to mark the driveway. Maybe a little solar light. Otherwise, very comfortable.
Such a sweet house. There are many interesting historical pieces to admire in this quaint farmhouse. Beds were comfortable and the view out the front door of the cows and the pond out the backdoor were wonderful!
We've stayed at this property twice now and loved it just as much the second time around. Its a perfect getaway for anyone looking for peace and quiet in a quaint country setting. Marlene is a great host and very responsive to messages. I highly recommend this property.
We stayed here as a family and had a fabulous time and made really great memories together. We enjoyed everything about the house and lake. It was restful and fun at the same time. The hosts are really great and provide a terrific home that all ages could enjoy -- from the fully stocked kitchen to the games for all ages. The layout of the home is also a bonus -- the great room allowed us to be together and the downstairs provided quiet downtime as well as fun games to play together. It's a really great place to be together.
This place is exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful country setting but just 10 min from St Joe and all of the amenities of a city. We were greeted by the cows that came to the fence ever morning to say hello. We spent most of our days in KC sightseeing but this was a great home to come back to.
We were remiss in booking a place early that would accommodate 5 people so this was the only place close to St Joseph that was available on graduation weekend. Although it was a little far out, it was a beautiful location. We were pleasantly surprised with the peace and serenity. We completely enjoyed our stay. The only critique I can offer is that the shower head was not functional for taking a shower. There was a message asking us not to move the shower head and it was pointed directly at the door and you could not get under the water.
I was looking for a quiet place, close to home, for my cousin and mw to stay, for a nice, peaceful, weekend visit. Grandma's House was perfect! So quiet, a beautiful setting, and everything we needed at our fingertips.
Overall wonderful. There was a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. However, the driveway was not cleared which created difficulty in driving up to the house. Also, the home was only 50 degrees when we arrived and it takes a while to warm up so that made for a chilly first night in the house.
We love to stay here. It’s clean, cozy and simple. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is equipped to prepare a simple meal and pot of coffee. The setting is peaceful and quiet. It feels like a home away from home when visiting family.
This was the perfect home for our family. We are already looking forward to booking another stay here. The perfect picture setting of a lake and farmland with cows. We loved it!!
This property was just as described. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and watching the stars and enjoying the quiet surroundings. It was a very peaceful get-away!
