Clean and quaint.
The house was clean and a good value but expected more. There was not a tv in the Main bedroom which we are used to seeing and would have been helpful since the living room furniture was not particularly cozy or relaxing. I realized there was no hot tub but did not realize there was just a stand-up shower in the bathroom and a very small one.

Wonderful property !
Quiet, restful and beautiful, this home has everything anyone could want. The kitchen is fully appointed to cook anything including bread or cookies, there was even a flour sifter, rolling pin and baking sheets, plus a grill. There are clear instructions for everything. Short stay or long one, you could not find a better place. The hosts were beyond gracious, there was even a small pitcher of fresh flowers on the table when we arrived. We truly hope to stay here again.

The Campbell Farm House was like our home away from home
We loved how you had the feel of the past blended in with modern day.. The farm house has an interesting history and had everything we could want. We loved the screened in porch and the feeling that we were by ourselves out in the country even though there were houses and people near by. It is a quaint place and we enjoyed our stay.
