The Farmers Cabin

We loved the farm, the animals, the view, and the rustic cabin in a quiet, relaxing location. Eventhough the temps were in the upper 80's, the cabin had a portable A/C unit upstairs and fans keeping the cabin comfortable. The cabin was very clean, bed was comfy, bathhouse was private, clean and modern. Every room had the perfect thoughtful touches of rustic and antique decor! We loved it! Our host, Dave, is very friendly and we enjoyed our chats with him and learning about the farm. I am looking forward to a return trip.

Firefly display!

We came here a second year in a row....to coincide with Bloomington Gold corvette show. This time we were looking more forward to the cabin stay than the cars!! We were treated to an amazing moonrise as well as a spectacular firefly show!!

The farm, cabin and the rest of the amenities are all wonderful. Perfect for a quiet getaway! If you love animals, lighting bugs, nights by the campfire, grilling, and rustic settings then this is your spot!! David and Ellie are great friendly hosts!

Cozy 🍁

Comfy comfy bed. Blissful surroundings and an authentic cabin. Big windows that face east. Hosts are welcoming and inspiring. Expect some moths and maybe a stink bug or two. It’s a farm! Otherwise totally clean and free of any nefarious critters.

Another perfect stay at Honeydew…

Another fantastic stay. It is so peaceful here. We sat by the fire for 4 hours on Saturday night and woke up Sunday morning and sat by it again for another 4 hours! The property is so laid back. This time our 17 year old daughter came and actually wants to come back!! The cabin we stayed in was quaint, homey and enough room for the 3 of us. Close to the city but far enough away to feel like you are in the country!! We will be back.
