Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay at Ranny Brook Farm We had an absolutely amazing time at Ranny Brook Farm. Despite being right on a main road, the property feels like your own secluded little world — perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Our boys, Maverick and Moose (Gordon Setters), were in absolute heaven running free in the huge 1-acre yard. They ran hard and crashed harder every night!The humans loved the cozy fire pit, relaxing hot tub, fantastic kitchen, and the double living rooms that gave us plenty of space. My husband turned into Goldilocks, trying out a different bed every night—LOL! There was more than enough room for our family of six (two adults, two young adult kids, and two large dogs) to be comfortable and happy.The charm and character of the old home added a special touch that made our week even sweeter. Highly recommend if you want a perfect blend of comfort, space, and countryside vibes! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49979f4b-5e3d-485a-ae81-5b5e270aed73-1753535068518.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbfd87c3-8a9b-4fcc-a3b9-a52b934d91a3-1753535070219.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f94c4787-48d1-4e2b-b2f8-39d5d3c5ee12-1753535068799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48a45b6a-60ac-44c3-82ea-daefd73793f4-1753535067739.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nichole Z.
