Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Peaceful Retreat My parents, my husband, son and I stayed at this farmhouse for two nights while we explored the area around Kensington where my parents grew up in the 1930's. The location is super beautiful and peaceful. We loved watching the birds feed, the deer, and all of the flowers and trees. The quiet was spectacular. We also saw sandhill cranes, trumpeter swans and other wildlife. The house was so clean and had everything we could want. The kitchen was so well stocked with dishes and other amenities. There was great thoughtfulness for the guests. Beds were very comfortable. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again if we come back to this area! ##### Mary E.
