    This property is a true treasure! Ideal for a serene escape or events like intimate weddings or family gatherings, it boasts a unique charm: a meticulously restored 19th-century farmhouse unlike any rental I’ve seen. The sight of horses grazing, especially from the cozy porch at sunset, is simply stunning. The architecture, with its detailed woodwork and historic character, transports you to another era. Impeccably clean and with a highly attentive host, this retreat is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
