"Just an Old Farm House" is a comfortable and cozy country house.

About Christine Huxtable

We purchased this old family home from my husbands grandfather. We are the second generation now to own this property. The house has been dated to the pre-civil war era. It needed a lot of work both inside and outside. Old houses are a labor of love. My husband and I have LOVED this house, we have taken our time updating it and now feel it is ready for visitors to stay. We look forward to having you visit and stay! We love to get feedback so please feel free to give us your constructive criticism. We are continuing to upgrade and repair the home but want to keep many of the original pre-civil war features. As you walk through the house just think about how old the beautiful floor are! We make our own real Maple syrup from all the sugar maples that you will see around the property in early spring. In early to middle fall we collect the wild apple from around the old farm and we press them make the best apple cider.

Christine Huxtable purchased this House in 2007
