Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Convenient to I-39 with pens for horse travelers and a large area to turn rigs or U-hauls. Large sunny room with double bed on the second floor, that shares bath with walk in shower. Second bathroom on the first floor.

The space
Post civil war farmhouse was once part of a 200 acre farm. Previous owners raised cattle, grew corn, soybeans and raised Quarter Horses. Sited on a hilltop, the views are endless and the wind never ceases. No mosquitoes and fallen leaves end up in the next county. It’s not uncommon to loose electricity on a very windy day. Usually it just flickers. Rarely is it off more than a couple hours.

Guest access
Common areas are living room, dining room, kitchen, patio. No access to basement, barns , outbuildings or pastures without being accompanied by host.

During your stay
We live on the premises and are available for any questions or help with the stove.

Other things to note
Typical old house quirks like small bathrooms, tall ceilings and a staircase to the second floor. Very airy with great windows. Like most old houses, there are several ongoing projects – painting ceilings, hallway, installing locks on doors, replacing bathroom faucet. Many will have been done by the time you arrive.

A second room is available for an additional $30 per night. This room has a bird's eye view into the countryside, an antique 3/4 bed plus a library of fiction. This will only be rented to people from the same party due to bathroom availability.
