Time with Aunts and Cousins
I wanted a place where my aunts, their daughters, my sister, niece and I could get together. My mom passed away in January and I needed her sisters. The house was great! Very clean and well maintained with plenty of room! The TV wouldn’t pick up the Wi-Fi so we didn’t watch any movies, may have been a blessing in disguise. Definitely plan on visiting again!

Wonderful Retreat for Famolies or Small Groups
We loved our visit to the McClure Family Farm. The home was clean and well stocked, and the owners were responsive to questions. The rural, farm setting made for a great family getaway. We visited several state parks, Raystown Lake, caverns and a small amusement park -- all 30-60 minutes from the farm. The kids loved the outdoor fire, grilling and making mountain pies! The water situation was a surprise. We discovered upon arrival that the water was not safe to drink or use to cook without boiling. The owner supplied 5 gallon bottles that they filled with water from elsewhere to use. The water situation was not addressed in advance, but the day before we arrived a message from Nadine recommended simply that we bring some bottled water with us. I was initially quite alarmed and upset, but we dealt with it and actually had a wonderful time during our stay. I do think that renters should be aware in advance of the water situation, but everything else about our stay was perfect.

Excellent house!
This house is incredibly clean and very comfortable. We were a church youth group staying there during Creation Festival at Agape Farm 2 miles away and it met and exceeded everything I was hoping for in the house. We had plenty of room to sleep and the outdoor swing overlooking the field was a great place to gather in the early morning hours. The kids in the youth group loved seeing the cows grazing in the field. The owners respond quickly to any questions you may have. If you need a place to stay in the area you can't go wrong with this house! Just don't take it when we need it again! :-)

Fantastic farm
From listing to follow up these property owners were amazing. They went out of their way to make sure that we had the best trip ever. The house was amazing clean and ready for us when we got there. They make sure that we had firewood and everything that we needed to have an enjoyable vacation. I would definitely go back

Fantastic farmhouse in a beautiful setting.
If you need a getaway this is the place. You are close to many museums and shops and a decent drive to raystown lake. But the pull of this rental is the home and property itself. The house is fully remodeled but retains it's farmhouse charm, whether you are sitting at the fire ring and enjoying the stars or relaxing on the covered patio to take in the sunrise you will feel the stress of life melt away.
