We were in town for our son's wedding at Oak Hill Farm. The houses were great! Love that each bedroom had it's own bathroom, made it great for everyone getting ready for wedding. Kitchens were well equipped, and the screened in porch was perfect.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
We rented both houses for our book club retreat (19 women). The houses were very close together, which we appreciated so we could easily walk back and forth. Nineteen women said the house was very clean (thats an impressive review in itself). The house had everything we needed to serve meals for a large group. Beds were comfortable. The host was extremely responsive to the several questions we asked. Several in iur group said they want to come back! The only downside to this property is the trash disposal process. You have to take your trash on a 2 mile drive and use a key card to drop off at a large trash compactor. Hauling the trash was an inconvenience on its own, but the biggest inconvenience was the need to have the keycard, because you had to then go back to the house to drop off the card. Using a keypad pin would make that process a little less combersome. If you're still hunting for a large property for your family or group, look no further....book this one!

Having two houses was very nice. The only thing we found was some of the blankets and comforters were very stained.
