Great place! Very clean, beautiful property, they have everything you need. Our 3rd stay here!!

This was such a nice drive from Binghamton. Close by and very scenic. The house is identical to the pictures in the listing. Very clean and tidy. Owners came out and greeted us right away. Their little girl came over to play outside with our son. He held a chicken for the first time. Beds were very comfy. Internet worked perfectly. The kitchen had all we needed to make a family meal. It was just BEAUTIFUL! The whole thing. The whole experience. We would definitely like to come stay again, if they will have us. I think we did great tiding up after our stay. Overall, just a great getaway! Thank you for inviting us in.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The house was clean and nicely decorated and had plenty of comfy seating in the living room. I met the owner when I arrived and she was very nice.I have only two minor complaints: They do state that the property is on a "working farm," but I was surprised to find that my bedroom window was about 30 ft away from a chicken coupe--complete with a resident rooster. So at exactly 4:39 am we were woken by his serenades. And pretty much remained awake for the rest of the morning. I had actually been hoping to sleep in a little, getting a break from my cats who wake me around 5:30 for sustenance. Nope. Both mornings I was woken *before* dawn. Again the rooster is directly outside the bedroom window, just on the other side of the driveway.One other minor suggestion: perhaps clean up the back area where the fire pit is located and add some cushions to the hard, uncomfortable metal chairs--or select different chairs. We were hoping to sit outside in the evening but the back area looked uninviting and uncomfortable, like the chairs and fire pit were just tossed back there as an afterthought. Also the large table out there was dirty and set off to the side. If you're expecting guests, I would think the table would be cleaned.
