Our newly remodeled farmhouse near The Loveliest Village on the Plains (only 6.4 miles from the AU campus!) offers special outdoor spaces including a front porch with porch swing and comfy chairs overlooking the pond and a tall tree swing, plus a back patio with a charcoal grill, tables and more seating. There is alot of space for the children to spread out and play in the yard with the beautiful pecan trees. We can house up to 14 people (6 of those are bunk beds for the kids) plus a pack and play / travel bed for the baby. Two `Family Rooms` upstairs each have a large bed (one king, one queen) plus a set of bunk beds, a papasan round chair and a window seat reading nook overlooking the pond. Our roomy kitchen makes it easy for multiple people to pitch in and work together creating meals and memories. The rustic living room / dining room area has a beautiful wooden-beamed vaulted ceiling, electric fireplace, a 55 inch Smart TV with cable, and 400 mbps WiFi throughout the house. Three full bathrooms and a washer and dryer make it simple for everyone to stay together comfortably.

You will have exclusive access to the whole cottage and yard. Neighbors have shared access to the pond which is used infrequently.

In most cases, I will meet you on arrival to give you a quick tour of the space and answer any questions. After that you can contact me at any time if you need something. I live close by with my husband and two daughters and thus will be readily available! My family loves learning together and serving in our church. This is my hometown and I love the area so much. I will be more than happy to help you with any local questions or recommendations!
