Century home 200 years old Power Farmhouse on You Tube video

My friends and I were coming into town for the international cat show, so we had 8 cats with us that also needed a place to stay. The oldest house listed (this property) was the most understanding of the situation and they were more than happy to accommodate us. This property has feels like it's a lived in house that you are staying at while your uncle is out of town, but everything was clean and proper. If you are looking for a property that does not look lived in, I would skip this one. But if you want something cozy and inviting like a nice hidden cottage then this is the spot to go! Awesome communication and very accommodating to any changes we had. Thank you very much for letting us stay, if we come into town again we will be sure to book here!

• Vrbo pictures did not show the amount of clutter (especially in open closets), uncleanliness (especially in kitchen, where sewer flies were flying around the sink, garbage can, and small kitchen table), and bad odor due to water in the basement. When we arrived, a fan was running to try to dry out the water issue in the basement. There was a bad thunderstorm on August 23rd, which caused the fan to “shorted out” due to about 2 – 3 inches of water in the basement. • Email instructions were not sent for entering the house. We contacted the host by phone, since he seemed reluctant to use Vrbo’s messaging system. He said there would be two keys in the mailbox outside the side door. On arrival, we found only one key, which he said the previous guest had lost the other key. Later, the host left us a second key. A keypad should be used on rental houses for security reasons! • The house was not pet friendly, since there were clusters of wiring on floors, too much clutter (especially in open closets without doors) almost everywhere in house. We kept our dog on a leash inside the house for her safety. • This farmhouse is almost 200 years old. Therefore, it needs a safety inspection due to numerous safety issues, such as trip hazards (too many extension cords; area rugs not secured). Floor fan was on wet basement floor, which was partially immersed in water due to storm on 8/23/2023.

Robert was an excellent host. House was very well stocked and very clean. Felt just like home. More than enough room for us which was great. Enjoyed playing the piano. An "old' farmhouse was exactly what we wanted and we would definitely stay there again. Excellent neighborhood. Robert was very helpful and available if we needed anything. Don't hesitate to stay at the farmhouse because you will love it.

Rob is great host. Lot room park 2 boats. Gave place clean fish on his property. You easy sleep10 fishermen here.

Drive way was a little tight for three boats Other than that everything was great

The architecture and decor is full of history and the owner was kind enough to give a tour to tell us about it. I also liked the owner is super friendly and easy to contact if needed. It has so many beds and rooms! I loved being allowed to bring all 3 of my dogs, 2 of which are large breed. The wildlife was fun to see and the location is close to so much stuff. The house is huge for the price.

Rob was an awesome host. Lots of space, comfortable beds and the history of the farmhouse was amazing! We were able to have other family come over for a dinner after a funeral and it worked out great. Thank you!

This house is amazing. Very old, quirky, so much character. Rob was very nice and helpful. The listing does show a dog run which there wasn't. Personal opinion, a fenced area for pups would be awesome.

This was the best place to play hide and seek with the tiny people and also a great place for our family get-togethers. Lots of space but cozy and warm too. Also plenty of blankets!! I was not made to feel like my dogs were a problem and we all felt very welcome in this home, hope to stay again

The Power Farmhouse is a cool, fun, and quirky place to stay. Everything we needed was there. Big rooms, comfy furniture, so much to look at plus a great family history. We slept so well there - good beds. Rooms in odd places. Up the down staircase! Wishing we had more time - never got to have a fire out back. Book it! You will NOT be sorry!

We had a fabulous stay in this historic farmhouse. We needed several rooms and this set-up was perfect for us. We loved the history tour of the farm and enjoyed the fire pit in the evening.

What a great place to stay! We had a fishing weekend with a Lake Erie charter and this location was perfect. The home is very interesting and has plenty of character for a historic property. We all slept comfortably and enjoyed our stay in the property.

We had the best time the house was 5 star and Rob was the best host even came to a birthday cookout

We enjoyed hanging out with our family here. The property has everything you need for a large group. Rob is an excellent host. He provided extra chairs & tables for our celebration. He was very responsive for any questions we had. Even made recommendations for local catering. The house had more space than we thought, very comfortable. There was no dishwasher but that was not a problem. Very relaxing comfortable stay! Thank you!!

Beautiful little cottage that is like a page from Ikea!

Rob is a great host! He is super fun to chat with, and the house was wonderful! Lots of history, lots of room, and lots of beds. He also provided you with anything you need!

Rob was very communicative from the very beginning. He made sure that everything was perfect S he was accommodating! The house is spectacular and was the perfect spot for family amd friends to celebrate. Thank you, Rob!

We stayed at the Power farm house in Ohio. The home have lots of character and charm

The farm house is very big. Plenty of rooms to get lost in. It was nice to see the deer and birds in the back yard. We would of enjoyed the outdoors more if it didn't rain everyday. The owners are very nice.

Over all it was fun. It like going back in time. The house is over 200 years old. There where some problems with the house. The basement flooded with about inch of water before we came. The host called me the day before are trip and mention this. When we walked into the house bye the basement it smelled very bad. Wednesday, there was heavy rain and the basement filled up with a little water again. This caused the gas in the water heater to go out. The host did come and start the gas back up. The house does have character. There where a lot of old pictures and articles about the house.

We were visiting friends in the area and the location was perfect. The historic character is charming but the furnishings and beds were reminiscent of a dorm. It’s an eclectic mish mash of old and new. I’m sure it’s a gorgeous property in warmer weather, but the space heaters (albeit a bit scary as it’s like an open flame in the room) kept the main level cosy. We were a bit surprised by how busy the street was since the photos make the property look more rustic. But in spite of the traffic the deer came to visit!

We had originally rented this home because it was big enough to house our family. Unfortunately, with Covid, no one else could come except my husband and myself. But, I am glad that we did. It was much cozier than staying in a hotel. The dining room and living rooms are big enough to accommodate a family comfortably. Although we didn't take advantage of it, there was an outside fire pit, which would be fun for cool nights. The home was built in 1828 and carries its nearly 200 years very well. The owners appeared to be painting and some other regular maintenance to the outside. Not everything is modernized but we weren't expecting that and I wouldn't want an old home changed! We would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this awesome old house. There is plenty of space inside and out! Great location. The things that made it great: huge yard, wonderful screened in porch, comfortable tv room, big rooms, big washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, fast internet, cute garden, tons of character, responsive host, interesting history.A couple things I would have liked to know before renting: the stairs are very steep, the house is on a busy road and there is no dishwasher. Overall we had a fantastic time and I’d recommend this great farmhouse! We hope it will be available for our next visit.

it was so wonderful to stay in the historic farmhouse. Each room was a new delight fraught with touches if history i.e. pictures, books, special furniture. Robert was great to communicate with. He responded promptly whenever we called or texted. Although the house is not in the country anymore, it was quiet. We especially enjoyed sitting in the enclosed porches and watching the deer. Robert had food available for us to feed them. My daughter is positive she developed a rapport with one of the female deer who let her put food down while Alyshia was standing within 5 feet. Sorry cant make deer do social distancing. Lol. The deer inclined her head and nodded so Alyshia responded in kind. I loved playing the grand piano. Of all the places we have stayed this is our favorite.

A lot of space and great yard space. Nice screened back porch to eat and enjoy the breeze. We had a relaxing visiting with our family and dog.

We had two families stay at this historic home. The home was clean and well stocked. Robert greeted us and gave us the grand tour of the historic home. We loved the character of the home. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch and outdoors by the fire pit. Perfect for a summer evening! The home sits on a considerable amount of property, so the kids had plenty of room to run and play. Deer visited every night and were fun to observe! It felt like we were in a country home; hard to believe we were in the suburbs! Robert made our stay easy and comfortable! Home is close to parks, groceries, shopping, gas and restaurants. Would visit again and highly recommend!

Thank you we enjoyed our stay!!

We needed a rental home partway between family members and the location was ideal. We needed to sleep 6-7 and the four bedrooms upstairs fulfilled all our needs. It was too cold to use the sleeping porch(bedroom number 5) so we will have to return in the summer. We wanted to bring our greyhound and Robert said it was no problem at all, there was even a dog run in the backyard. Lastly, we wanted to host a family celebration for 11. Not only was our ragtag bunch welcomed warmly, Robert had brought out extra chairs and a table for our use and even gave us permission to use his lovely set of china. Some of us even played Christmas carols on the baby grand piano. The house was decorated beautifully and there was a Christmas tree just waiting for us to pile gifts beneath its branches. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, from cookware to coffee, tea and pantry items. The fridge was stocked with water, juice and plenty of ice. There were piles of towels so no-one would ever ever run out and space heaters in almost every room to keep us nice and warm no matter how chilly it got outside. Because the home is old and historic and one wing appears to be an addition, some settling has occurred. The upstairs floors are not level and the stairways are steep, but there are banisters and the second floor is charming and quirky and not an issue for everyone staying the night, but it would have been difficult for our oldest family members. There are steps up from the side door, but there are also banisters and handholds there as well. Thankfully, there is a powder room on the first floor and the floor plan allowed us to stretch out and we utilized every inch. Thank you Robert, for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had a wonderful time and hope to make this a new family tradition.

Enjoyed sharing our stay with extended family. Lots of room to spread out. We all enjoyed seeing the deer at our back door every morning. Host easy to reach with questions about the area. House has lot of character .....fun to explore.

Enjoyed the 5 night stay in this spacious place. 200 years old so don’t expect modern. Bedrooms were comfortable and the home is very interesting. Had a new gas stove and newer fridge which host stocked with many essentials like bacon, eggs, OJ, milk, butter and pantry also had cereal, pasta, sauce, soup, crackers, potato chips, etc.etc. This would’ve gotten 5 stars except for the clothes left in the dressers and there was some used bar soap in bathrooms and half eaten ice cream in freezer. But the host was extremely accommodating and I would definitely stay here again.
