“We enjoyed the coffee cake and hearing the wind blowing through the trees and cornstalks...such a change from the noise of the city.”
“Enjoyed another nice visit to your farm. It is such a pretty, peaceful area. Took a nice long walk this morning with Nellie at our side, worked up an appetite for the great coffee cake.”
“Thank you Beth and Bobby for your warm hospitality in this oasis of peace and beauty. My spirit is always refreshed and renewed after spending a night here. Watching morning dawn over the cornfields was especially beautiful.”
“What a terrific space to use as our home base while exploring Holmes County. Great value in pricing as well compared to other places we’ve stayed. We were looking for a “non-commercial” place to stay and we certainly found it here.”
