"Homely and comfortable."

10.0

Karen was such a sweet heart during our entire stay. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was homemade and we enjoyed it very much. The farm tour was so much fun! Though it was short one night stay, we had a very memorable time on the farm and would love to return again in the future :)
