Little Farm Getaway

Welcome to my little 8 acre oasis! Being the first farm I’ve ever lived on, I understand the peace and tranquility it can offer those who have never experienced it. Enjoy meeting my horses and mini donkeys, take a walk through my woods, or have a fire! Aside from being just far enough, but just close enough to all the happenings in the city, my newly remodeled private entry, ground level basement apartment offers an escape from the noise and a place to unwind and relax. NO CHORES REQUIRED! 😊

The Snug in the Heart of Downtown Northfield

We know how great a getaway should be; a place that is full of character, with cozy spots that set the stage for great conversation, a reading nook for a great book, and the perfect comfy bed. The 800sf of Snug has it all. Fully updated and renovated while keeping the original limestone, brick, heart pine posts and 12 foot ceilings. Tucked away from the street so it's quiet, but near everything. You'll feel like you walked into a beautiful European apartment. Come and stay, you'll love it!
