About this house rental

After four years of restoration The Tenant House at Shady Spring Farm is available for our guests to enjoy. Step back in time in this charming home located on our family-operated Black Angus cattle farm. Originally built in the 1880s for the resident tenant farmer and his family, the house has been lovingly restored to the 1930s era. Enjoy cooking breakfast in the farmhouse kitchen, with it's 1935 monitor top refrigerator and restored 1911 cast iron electric range on chrome cabriole legs. Use the 1920's oak-cabinet wall telephone with hand-held receiver and brass bells to receive calls. Modern amenities include central heat and air conditioning, high-speed wireless internet access and cable tv plus a smart television.
Slow down a bit, relax, read a book or visit with friends while sitting in the Windsor chairs on the broad front porch. The enclosed back porch overlooks a meadow and pasture area and has seating for two - a great place to read in the morning or sip a cup of tea while taking in the beautiful scenery of the Great Cove valley.

Each of the three bedrooms has a double bed and is decorated with antiques. We provide all linens - the beds are made and ready for you to snuggle in. We use crisp line-dried linens when weather permits. The beds are dressed with high-loft goose-down comforters on chilly winter nights. In the bathroom you'll find fresh towels, a mahogany sink base with a French waterspout faucet, and a claw-foot bathtub with shower.

We invite you to stroll the grounds, explore the farm's 130 acres, and enjoy the fresh country air. Walk our private lane or make use of the two picnic areas on the farm. Ask to feed the dozens of golden trout that call our limestone springhouse and spring waters home. A romantic retreat or great vacation get-away, The Tenant House at Shady Spring Farm awaits you and your family. Come and enjoy.

The Tenant House at Shady Spring Farm was wonderful! We stayed there from July 2-6, 2026. This was an incredibly authentic house dating back 100 years. Yet, it had all the modern amenities we needed (including central AC). The house was very clean and inviting. The surrounding bucolic view was amazing! We were in the area for a July 4th BBQ...so glad we stayed there. Thank you Barb and Tony! We hope to be back next year. -Leslie A.

A weekend getaway sitting under the stars, sleeping in with no alarm and cooking up a country breakfast.Antiques a plenty in this house but the kitchen is completely updated and a pleasure to cook in! Don't forget to turn the radio on that is on top of the desk! Two tvs and internet but really, you go to unplug! Plenty of games and books to read!Note there is only one bathroom but for two people that wasn't an issue!Absolutely a beautiful house that's been lovingly restored and a pleasure to stay in.
