Awesome
5/5 Very comfortable and the host is very nice. I definitely recommend staying here. The outside hot tub is awesome!
A step back into the 60’s & 70’s
5/5 We had a wonderful time staying at the Jim Croce farmhouse. The owners kept everything in original condition including decor from the time when Jim and his wife lived there. They provided albums that Jim made for us to listen to while we sat in the LR and Kitchen picturing Jim with his wife along with other artists like James Taylor, singing and playing their guitars together. Truly an authentic way to experience memories from the 60-70’s.
Weekend at Highspire
5/5 We are so blessed that this listing popped up when we were planning to visit a friend in Downingtown. What a lovely jewel of an apartment located in a gorgeous setting! Comfy, cozy, and relaxing; it is a great place with everything you need. I have long loved the music of Jim Croce. But now i know the man as well. Thanks Julie for being a thoughtful and aytentive host! We give it 20 out of 10 stars!
