Weekend at Jim's
5/5 Lovely. Enchanting. Peaceful. Didn't want to leave. Big 'home away from home' vibes.

Our 2 night stay was everything we imagined
5/5 When we arrived the farmhouse was just as I had expected. There were reminders of the time Jim & Ingrid Croce would of lived there in every room. The original floors and doors and latches. The windows with deep recess a foot deep. The surrounding untouched natural beauty & birds. All in all it was a very rewarding experience I hope to relive again someday.
Wonderful all the way around
5/5 I spent three days here, and if you’re looking for a getaway where it’s quiet and peaceful, this is it. The bed is insanely comfortable and the history of the apartment will inspire creativity. Host is superb. I will 100% be back.
Cute, Quaint, Colorful
5/5 Loved the welcome goodies. Extremely clean. Very quiet neighborhood. Owners were absolutely fantastic, desiring to help make our stay perfectly comfortable, including with their friendliness. Julie even same day shipped us an iron and ironing mat! I enjoyed playing Jim Croche's records in the living room while visiting with family. We used all appliances in the kitchen without a problem. The ONLY downside was how firm the mattress was. Regardless, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
