The rental was extremely clean and unlike any other we’ve been to. The bed was very comfortable, towels were extra fluffy and the outdoor space was so tranquil. We loved the quietness the space had to offer. The sauna was a fun bonus that we also really enjoyed! The hosts were so sweet and accommodating. You can really tell how much pride of ownership they have. We can’t wait to stay here again.

The Abide unit delivers an extraordinary blend of luxury resort amenities with authentic farm charm. The sauna experience was absolutely terrific, and the property's ancient trees create a majestic natural canopy that adds to the magical atmosphere. The owners' remarkable attention to detail transforms every aspect of the stay into something special - from the incredibly comfortable king bed to the thoughtfully designed spaces. It genuinely feels like a 5-star resort experience, but with the unique character and tranquility of a historic farmstead. Everything about our stay was seamless, from the easy check-in process to the flexible check-out. The hosts were extraordinarily kind and accommodating, and the fresh country air made for perfect sleeping conditions. With direct access to the Kinnickinnic River and surrounded by centuries-old trees, the setting couldn't be more picturesque. Perfect for: Anyone seeking a truly exceptional getaway that combines luxury amenities with pastoral charm. This is sophisticated farm stay hospitality at its finest. ##### Shane Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashbrooke](https://www.expedia.ca/Egg-Harbor-Hotels-The-Ashbrooke.h1971495.Hotel-Information) > > [Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort Wisconsin Dells](https://www.expedia.ca/Wisconsin-Dells-Hotels-Yogi-Bears-Jellystone-Park-Camp-Resort-Wisconsin-Dells.h9437651.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Chula Vista Resort, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Wisconsin-Dells-Hotels-Chula-Vista-Resort.h913133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Bridgeview Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Superior-Hotels-Best-Western-Bridgeview-Hotel.h21684.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Mt.
