Hi, we are Tom & Lindy and we love creating beautiful one-of-a-kind indoor and outdoor spaces for others to enjoy. My background is in architecture and creating and building beautiful spaces and Lindy’s background is in furniture and interior design. HERE ON OUR 55 ACRE FARM WE HAVE CREATED AN OASIS FOR FAMILIES OR CLOSE FRIENDS TO COME SPEND TIME TOGETHER IN A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SETTING. Our guests on the farm have COMPLETE PRIVACY and normally will not see us unless we are picking up the trash from the outdoor cans or cleaning the pool or working in the garden or out riding our mountain bikes on the farm. We are very friendly and sociable people but WE PUT A PRIORITY ON GUEST PRIVACY and letting our guests have all the privacy they want to do whatever their ideal vision of staying on the farm is, whether it is to come here and kick back and relax and take yourself out of gear or whether it is to come here and kick yourself into gear and crank up your music (as long as it is cranked up indoors and not cranked up overly loud outdoors since overly loud outdoor sound can travel to our neighbors here in the country). The first floor of the guest area has a beautiful open concept kitchen/dining area with 10’ and vaulted ceiling overlooking the oversized private guest pool. There is also a guest bedroom on the first floor but it has four exterior steps and it is not directly connected to the rest of the guest space so is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues but it works great for folks who want a little bit of autonomy and privacy from the rest of the group. On the second story there are 3 of the 6 bedrooms and TWO private living areas (one of the two private living areas is a media room with a huge state of the art 70” TV). On the third story there are two more bedrooms and a sitting area for a total of 6 bedrooms. Your large and PRIVATE POOL AREA is sequestered well away from the owner’s area (the owners area is at the opposite end of the home from the guest area) which means guests have complete privacy even when they are in the pool or hot tub. Here on the farm the guest Hot Tub is always drained and refilled between groups of guests so you can enjoy it with peace of mind that it is new fresh water. The pool area also has a large fire pit and huge curved outdoor sofa and there will be firewood and a "starter log" ready for you to light each day during your stay. Guests also have their own large screened porch overlooking the pool and guests are welcome to roam the trail through the woods and roam the pastures behind or in front of the house so bring your hiking boots and if you are a bike-rider bring your mountain bikes (the kind you pedal since we do not allow motorized vehicles on our trails). There is gravel on most of the farm roads so bikes with skinny tires only work on the quarter mile paved entry road but not on the longer farm roads with gravel. If you like to fish bring your fishing rods and enjoy some “catch and release” fishing in the pond behind the house. Hunting or the discharge of firearms on our farm is not permitted for liability reasons and to preserve the peace and quiet. Here is a more detailed description of some of the key guest areas: The dining/kitchen area has a table that seats 8 and a bar/island that seats 3 or 4. This area has lots of glass overlooking the pool and rear pasture and pond. The guest kitchen is high-end and exceptionally nice and has a side by side stainless steel refrigerator and stainless steel range for preparing your meals, a built-in microwave, dishwasher, and designer kitchen cabinets and island with granite counter tops. It is very nice and is well-stocked and has everything you need to do as much cooking as you desire. The informal guest living area on the second story has an Italian leather and fabric L-shaped sectional sofa and comfy chairs and a game table. The large media room for guests with the 70" high-end state of the art Samsung QLED TV for Netflix and Prime etc. is sequestered in the section of the guest area most suited for being able to watch movies without disturbing other folks in your group who may be in their bedrooms or in the other living area. The guest space is pet friendly for WELL-BEHAVED 100% house-trained dogs only. Out of deference to guests who may have cat allergies, WE DO NOT ACCEPT CATS. There is a $50 pet fee for each dog and you are responsible for damages if your dog damages anything. Since AirBnB does not collect pet fees for us PLEASE PLAN TO PAY YOUR PET FEE UPON ARRIVAL. Guest access Since the 4100sf guest space in our 7000sf farm estate home is a completely private and self-contained space from the 2900sf owners area inside the same home, there is a separate guest parking area and separate exterior doors for guests to use to access the 4100sf guest space. The guests have their own PRIVATE pool and patio area. You will have complete private access to the pool and the outdoor fire pit and we furnish the firewood for the fire pit as part of your rental. Other things to note This is an exceptionally nice home with exceptionally nice furnishings and we only want to rent to guests who will both appreciate it and take good care of it and will abide by our NO PARTIES AND NO EVENTS" policy. This home is somewhere to come and unwind and relax and appreciate nature and the beautiful views and appreciate fellowship with the folks in your family or your friends. It is NOT a place to come to host a party or an event. I own a Brewery at the coast (FrontStreetBrewery in Wilmington) so I certainly don't have anything against folks consuming alcohol but just as I only want responsible consumption to occur at my Brewery, Lindy and I also only want responsible consumption of alcohol to occur at our farm. Thanks for understanding.
