A great place for a retreat
This house was better than I was expecting - and I had high hopes based on the pictures. It was the perfect space for our retreat. We will definitely be booking it again.

3 generation family girl's trip
Wonderful home to comfortably accommodate 11 adults & 6 children ages 22 months - 12 years old. Well stocked & within 15-30 minutes of all the sights we visited. Secure with gate & fenced, with great play areas for children. Mapquest & GPS unfortunately said it was on the opposite side of the road, so we all had trouble finding it at first, but after that, very easy to locate.

Perfect for Large Families!
The property was a great space for our large extended family! There were enough beds as well as living space for all 20 of us! The house was very clean and very well-stocked, making us feel right at home. The expansive yard with kids jungle gym and fire pit was perfect to let our children run! I would highly recommend this property!

Did NOT Disappoint!
The Florence Family Farmhouse was a Retreat, indeed. It created the perfect environment for me and my guests! I have stayed in several VRBO's and this house was by far my favorite! Great storage (LOVED the pantry area off of the kitchen), plenty of linens, no microfiber bedding, very clean, and things you typically don't get like a huge assortment of spices and even some ziploc/foil/etc. The only inaccuracies were areas where the property offered EVEN more than advertised- i.e. a volleyball net. Everyone absolutely loved this house and the thoughtful details!

A beautiful holiday get together
My family stayed here for an early holiday celebration. We were all so impressed by the home and how big the space was. There was a large table for all of us to gather around, and the host even set up a Christmas tree! Beautiful space and we definitely want to come back. Communicative and easily accessible host, too. Highly recommend!

Lovely Retreat
It was a very spacious property that accommodated our group of eleven. The location was a quiet oasis that was truly wonderful. The rooms were a great size with plenty of bathrooms. The two living rooms and two dining areas were a bonus. It gave us a lot of room to spread out. The home was very clean with plenty of towels and ceiling fans in most of the rooms. We enjoyed the backyard, had a fire pit where we had s’mores, backyard playset and the fantastic hot tub. We definitely enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing. We would love to come back in the future. Thank you for everything it was a pleasure.

Awesome House
The photos online do not do this listing justice. We had 12 adults and 6 kids stay in this beautifully arranged home and we were never cramped for space. This house was well thought out for large (or smaller) gatherings. And the owners furnished more than any other people do when renting. All we really needed to bring was our clothes and our food!

Awesome property. Only thing was that there was no foil or saran wrap. A bigger coffee pot would be great. Overall it was a great girls weekend!

Best place for families
Booked for a Christmas dinner with family. We didn’t need near the room this place has. It could easily be used for a larger family or reunion. Outdoor space was amazing. It was already decorated for Christmas which was a welcome surprise. Will absolutely book again next year!
