Hosted by Richard & Robin Thompson
Richard was born and raised on this farm. I moved to the farm when we married in 1985. We have raised three children and are now enjoying our first grandchild. This farm has transitioned from raising beef cattle to growing seed corn to becoming a dairy farm. Three generations have been supported by the farm and now it's time to travel a different road in our life journey. We have recently partnered to open a campground on our property and have renovated the original farmhouse for a vacation rental. Our family has enjoyed vacation rentals in the past and have always enjoyed the convenience of "almost like home" vacation stays, so we have decided to open our property to share likewise. We are very blessed to own a sliver of God's Country and hope to have the opportunity to share that blessing with you.
What makes this property unique
We have been told that a stay at our farmhouse is like stepping back in time and taking a few conveniences with you. We have tried to maintain the original woodwork whenever possible, including the original doorbell on the front of the house. The flooring in the upstairs bedrooms were stripped of layers of vinyl flooring to leave the original wood, which we have painted. Kitchen appliances have been updated as well as the AC/heat pump. We have added televisions in every bedroom, but please do not let the TVs keep you from enjoying the beautiful outside. Screened porches allow you to enjoy the nighttime sounds and clean air late into the night. Listen for the owls, whip-o-wills, and yes, the occasional coyote. And of course the train, which passes through the farm. You just can't help but relax, sip slowly, and drink in the countryside.
