Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. The Tenant House is wonderful. We loved your place and hope to return. The area around your farm is so breathtakingly beautiful. We feel deeply refreshed.

We had a very relaxing weekend! Your farmhouse is ideally situated halfway between Muncy PA and Charlottesville VA. We are very thankful that such an inviting place is so well located. We had fun with the antique appliances, feeding the fish, walking in the woods, and generally just relaxing. We can't wait to come back!

Thank you! We loved your home!! We came here for our daughter's wedding at the golf course. Perfect setting, perfect weather. The wedding went well. We will remember your home, it made our stay very nice. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication that you must have put into this.

The farmhouse is absolutely gorgeous: everything was renovated beautifully and feels old-fashioned without being at all fussy. The grounds are also lovely: the farm is set in a fairly high mountain valley, across a road from another small farm with grazing sheep, and feels deeply peaceful.

The house was sparkling clean and well-appointed when we visited, which made for a wonderfully relaxing weekend. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Barbara and Tony,
Thanks for this gorgeous place, for the care and effort you so obviously shower on the house, and for helping to preserve peaceful, sustainable rural lives. Like everyone else who's written here, we were so impressed by the sparkling cleanliness of the house and so relieved by the weekend away. Also, Max and Otis: BRILLIANT. :)
Thanks again! We hope we'll be back.

Barbara and Tony,

What an idyllic house in an idyllic location! We had a wonderful time enjoying both the peace and quiet and our trips to Cowans State Park and Falling Water. Our only regret is that we are not staying longer and have to leave today to head back to Philadelphia.

Barbara & Tony,
There's no delight in owning anything unshared. Thank you for sharing your home with us. It gave us pause, from our hectic lives, a chance to renew and refresh. Your home was everything we were hoping for.

What an amazing place and experience! It was so nice to leave the chaos of the inauguration to come here to this peaceful oasis! My son loved the marble toy so much he kept trying to climb the stairs to get to the "balls" - he is just 14 months old. In just two short days this house feels like a home away from home and we can't wait to come back! Thank you, Barbara!!

WOW! That's really all I can say! My husband and I were just speechless the moment we stepped in the door! Not only is this house breathtaking, but so is the area around it. It truly made for a very memorable Christmas for my family before my husband heads off to Iraq! Absolutely gorgeous!

The 4 day and 3 nights we stayed at the farm were FANTASTIC!!! The local area has plenty of outdoor recreation and places to explore. It is a great opportunity to have a vacation without the rush of trying to do too many things. The local residents are friendly and full of suggestions for places to eat, shop, and explore. You will find yourself wishing you had a few more days when it's time to go. Thanks to Barb and Tony for a great getaway.

This home is truly a treasure -- what a delightful weekend! From the moment you step inside the front door, no detail has been overlooked. The house is a remarkable restoration back to the 1930's - the refrigerator, stove, telephone - just as if time stood still. This peaceful, quiet oasis has been created for visitors to enjoy and we did!

An excerpt from an email exchange between myself and a guest:

We were really impressed with how nicely the renovation was handled. It had an authentic feel with modern conveniences and we were so happy you didn't give into cluttering the place with kitchy knick-knacks as so many places feel the need to do. The floors are gorgeous, as was the quilt in the room we chose. We loved the fresh flowers and that the place was immaculate. We liked the historical society pamphlets, too.

We chose to have all our meals in and I was also impressed with how prepared the kitchen was for a cook. The abundant sharp knives were a bonus. The only thing I could have asked for was a whisk or an egg beater.

We enjoyed our stay and would be pleased to give you a good recommendation for future guests!

Betsy,
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the house. It's been four long years in the making. My husband will be thrilled that you noticed the floors as he worked an entire summer sanding them by hand and used dental picks to clean the cracks between the boards.
I've added both a silicone whisk as well as an antique hand-crank egg beater for future guests.
I also want to thank you for doing the dishes and leaving everything so tidy. We hope to see you again.
