What to expect

Nature = wild animals and bugs. Some guests find this awesome; others find it a little scary. The farmhouse sits on open acreage down a gravel country road, so nature is right outside the door. Here’s what you can expect, so you can relax and enjoy it.

The animals

  • Deer and turkeys are the most common sights around the property.
  • Guests have also spotted owls, hawks, rabbits, turtles, and even an eagle.
  • Raccoons and coyotes live in the area too. They’re pretty timid and never stick around long when they hear people.
  • Never leave food or garbage outside. It’s sure to attract wildlife, so keep all garbage secured inside the house. (It’s one of our house rules.)

The bugs

  • Nature also has bugs of all varieties.
  • Bug spray and scented candles are in the farmhouse for when you’re outdoors, if you need them.
  • Summer nights bring fireflies, the good kind of bug.

Use common sense and you’ll be able to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the farmhouse.

The pond

  • The pond is open water with no lifeguard. Children must be supervised near it at all times.

Supplies

  • The nearest shops are in Carrollton, about 15 minutes away. Most guests cook in and use the grill, so it’s worth stocking up on the way in.
