They invite you to play corn hole or try your hand at lassoing their cow folk friends. Continue into our farmhouse that is rich with history as it was the first veterinarian clinic in this town. The single-story farm has been transformed from its days of helping ducks, horses, and even raccoons beginning in the 1950's to a contemporary work of art. Enter the home and your eyes will not know where to settle as they take in the eclectic interior design.The farmhouse itself is single story, three bedroom, two and a half bath with ample, comfortable living spaces created specifically for your stay.
