Perfect for us ...
Neat & clean, this small home was perfect for my friend and me. It's located on a farm in a farming community, but being winter, the animals were not in evidence. We did hear the ubiquitous farm dog from time to time. Love it!

This was such a pleasant place to stay!
The house was very clean and smelled so good! It was quiet and peaceful! The towels were large. The beds were very clean (my daughter, who is picky about the sheets she sleeps on, had no problem sleeping here). The muffins they left for us were a thoughtful idea and tasty! The air conditioning did a great job. It was a little different to get to the second bedroom through the first bedroom. The curtains that were there for privacy was a good idea! We would stay here again, gladly!

quiet getaway
The home was perfect for our needs for the week. Thank you for no TV lol. Soooo very quiet which is what we needed. We are familiar with the surrounding towns and mountains so navigating to our destinations and coming back for the night was the perfect distance. The fresh milk, eggs, bread and coffee was a wonderful surprise! Thank you!

Back in time
The cottage was nice and clean, my husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The view was amazing nothing but mountains and farmland. It was so peaceful and quiet and nice to just sit back on the porch and watch the animals and the horse and buggies and the armish kids ride their scooters .

COZY AND COMFORTABLE STAY ON AMISH FARM
It was very clean and comfortable. Nice modular home. Only suggestion would be to fix screens in windows and door, would have loved to have the windows opened on the cool days. Nice to have laundry in unit. Live plants and games, were an added bonus.

Quiet Retreat
We really enjoyed our time at the lovely Oak Bend Cottage. Even though the weather was unseasonably warm, we still enjoyed having our meals on the deck where we set up the provided table and chairs. We appreciated the laundry facilities and especially the clothes line so we didn't have to add any heat from the dryer. We loved the quiet countryside and the company of the cows and horse close by. Cooking for three teens and two adults was a little tight, but we managed. Everything was very clean when we arrived, and we were greeted warmly by Katie and two of her sweet girls. May all who stay be filled with peace and joy at this quiet retreat.

This is a wonderful place if you love tranquility and animals and beautiful views. Kept very clean with lots of little surprises from the owners -- like fresh milk, eggs, and other helpful things. We would definitely come back!

The Best Host
The host was incredible - they left us homemade bread, farm fresh eggs and milk. They greeted us upon arrival to make sure we were all set and were so so friendly. The property was perfect for my family of four. My children loved the farm animals (which were so friendly!). Lots of room for the kids to run around and play. Host left a box of toys for the baby and games for the oldest. We enjoyed the fire ring outside. The entire property is well kept and it was very clean! I appreciated that there wasn’t much of their stuff so that we could put our stuff and spread out. The washer and dryer on property was convenient for us. The view is gorgeous and it’s so peaceful. They were incredible hosts and the property was perfect - I’d definitely book here again!
