The pictures of this farmhouse just don't do it justice. The back of the house has a little patio area that faces a wide open grassy field. There is nothing but gorgeous wide open space and sky.The sunsets and clouds were unbelievable. We didn't see one human with the exception of the farm family that came through to tend the sheep in the side pasture. If you want to get away from it all and relax, this is the place. Inside was clean, comfy and well stocked. The decor had a lovely farmhouse feel. If I had to complain about anything, I would say the couch isn't the most comfortable for curling your feet up under you to relax. Maybe some foot stools would do the trick. It is a quick drive(the road to the house is gravel) to restaurants and groceries and a few more minutes to get to the downtown area and town square. We spent a day in Springfield and also went to Fantastic Caverns, an hour or so away. Alot of stores were closed Sunday and Monday in both Mountain Grove and Springfield so we didn't get to do much shopping. But we very much enjoyed our stay here. Such a relaxing home.
