‘The Olde Homestead’ w/ Fire Pit & Mountain Views!

Reviews

• Star gazing

  5/5

  We booked in hopes of seeing the stars, but saw rain everyday. That did not spoil our stay we enjoyed the time together. The house was roomy and we had a great time bonding together and catching up with each other.

  Overall good, clean, nice place to stay. Quiet and good for star gazing. Beware of large amount of fees when booking, all of which are not refundable.

  Hi Mike, we always appreciate hearing from our guests, but we would like to take a moment to clarify what happened during your stay:
  - Unfortunately, multiple house rules were broken during your stay including the maximum occupancy limit and the ban on parties and large gatherings. While we want our guests to enjoy their stay here, we also expect them to respect our house rules and treat the property as their own.
  - We strive to be transparent with our guests at every stage of the booking process and are happy to break down all fees for travelers before the reservation is confirmed. Our goal is to ensure that our guests are fully aware of the price of the reservation, leaving no room for surprises.
  - We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have a wonderful stay!

• Perfect for Stargazing

  5/5

  We had a wonderful time at The Olde Homestead. It's in a great location for stargazing. We had 3 families on this trip with 6 total kids. They had the best time playing in the pond catching fish and salamanders. The adults loved hiking around and sitting by the fire listening to music and talking. The kitchen, dining room, and living room were the perfect size for our group of 12.

  And no worries about forgetting anything, there's a Dollar General with everything you could need about 2 miles down the road.

  One thing to note, if your GPS tells you to drive down a dirt road, you're on the wrong driveway! Turn around and take the road next to the Dollar General.

• Meteor Shower

  5/5

  We booked this trip for the purpose of watching the peak weekend of the Perseid meteor shower & the view from the back yard was AMAZING!! We saw so many stars, meteors & the Milky Way. The property was perfect for families, the pond was a hit with the kids & parents, plenty of space for everyone. The house was clean & well maintained. I would have to agree with other reviews that while the kitchen itself is beautiful- the pots & pans & large bowls- things to cook for larger family groups are a little lacking. But there is a Dollar General really close & we made use of that. We had trouble getting the gas grill to heat up over 300 & ended up cooking our steaks over the fire pit on the grate that’s there which worked nicely, so that’s an option if you run into the same problem we did, just an FYI. The laundry room is fantastic,lots of hooks for towels. The porch offers amazing views, we saw deer everyday. The living room is very comfortable, plenty of room for everyone. It felt very secluded but wasn’t too far away from gas stations, a pizza place & some groceries if you do need things. We recommend staying here with your friends & family!

• Place for family and fun

  5/5

  It was a great place to gather with family. It is an excellent location for seeing the stars. The home was perfect for doing puzzles, playing games, making s’mores by the pond or at the fire pit near the picnic table. The kitchen was easy to use.
