Restored historic home near ND and Amish Country

Farmhouse chic meets historical in this remodeled 19th-century home. Most people enjoy seeing antiques - and there are plenty in this wonderful home - but no one wants to sleep on an old mattress or actually have to use an outhouse. All the important things are new! A beautiful, modern, and spacious kitchen. Bathrooms that were strategically added and updated so that every bedroom has one (so no outhouses for you!) and most importantly, super comfortable mattresses with luxurious cotton sheets. The space Let's take a tour! Drive in along the long circular drive and pull up right in front of the porch. As you enter the foyer, you get to choose to turn right into the large open kitchen or left into the dining room and the rest of the house. What is now the dining room is the largest room in the house. It is spacious, surrounded by antique wood furniture and holds a large dining table ready for your large family gathering. Or, if it's just 2 of you, maybe you turned right into the kitchen and saw the cozy breakfast table and even the island with stools. You might choose to take your meals there. Off of the dining room, you would quickly see the living room and fireplace anchored by a Victorian sofa and chairs and the fireplace. You won't be able to miss the antique organ in one corner and the vintage and fully functioning Victor Victrola antique phonograph in another. It even has a couple of records that are about as old as the record player. Listen to those or bring your own! Scanning your other options you will see a full bath (tub, no shower) accessible from the central room, and two of the four bedrooms. The other two are at the top of the stairs that you'll find in one corner of the room. The first downstairs bedroom is a queen room with a full bathroom including both a tub and separate walk in shower. This room would be comfortable for 2 people. The downstairs king bedroom is large with its own full bathroom (no tub, walk in shower only). It is the perfect room for someone who enjoys "Blue Boy" and "Pinky"! There are several vintage pieces including a very nice Blue Boy statue. This king room could easily hold an additional rollaway bed and/or a port-a-crib, so we list it as potentially holding 4 (2 adults and 2 children). Let's head upstairs. From the second floor landing you'll see two more bedrooms. To your left, another room with a queen-sized bed and a full bathroom (shower only) that would be comfortable for 2 people. And, at the other end of the landing, another large bedroom with a king size bed and it's own full bathroom (tub and walk in shower). Once again, this room is large enough to hold a rollaway bed and/or a port-a-crib, so it is listed as holding 4 (2 adults and 2 children). That's the tour! Hope you choose to book with us! Guest access You will have access to the entire house except for the attached apartment that the owner lives in. You are welcome to enjoy walks through the gardens and the entire 3 acres. Other things to note Once your booking is complete, please be aware that we require additional steps to complete your reservation of this property. You will receive a link to our Rental Agreement. Once completed, you will receive a link to our Guest Portal where you will find access to additional information and will be asked to reserve certain free amenities and have the opportunity to purchase "Add ons". A short time before arrival we will also request and require a payment source to reserve a Security Deposit for your stay. The House Rules are also available for you on the Guest Portal. The House Rules are an easy-to-read addendum to the rental agreement that outlines the information that is applicable to all guests. We will also send you a copy and ask that you download and share this document with all other guests. This home becomes available as individual rooms in a Bed and Breakfast if it hasn't been booked at least 60 days in advance. When you book the entire place breakfast becomes an option that you can select as an "add on" We provide additional services offline. We call these Add Ons. Ask us for more information about experiences available including use of the grounds as a wedding or reunion venue, and guided fishing trips. "Add ons" include both certain free amenities and items available for a fee. All can be easily arranged through our Guest Portal. This is the site that you access immediately after you sign our Rental Agreement. We will send you a link. You will be able to: 1) request optional free amenities like setting up a port-a-crib, etc., and 2) select and pay for things like: a late checkout, an extra pet, a supply of breakfast groceries waiting for you in the fridge in case you arrive too late to go to the store, a cleaning by our housekeeper during your stay, etc. If you have questions or can't find these on the guest portal, reach out and ask about any of these items of interest. Our guest portal is a separate system, so purchases will require a separate payment (credit card) arrangement. We have purchased Damage Protection Coverage on your behalf. This policy covers the first $1500 worth of accidental damage. It excludes damage by unregistered pets, and linens. Please let us know right away if anything happens. You would remain responsible for anything beyond this coverage. Please note, while booking you may be offered a 'trip interruption' policy. It's not a damage policy, but may be a good purchase if you are worried about events that might lead to cancellation. We especially recommend it to all of our long-term guests because of the alternate cancellation policy for long-term stays. For long-term stays of 28 days or more, we have a specific cancellation policy. The first 30 days is the deposit. It is due at booking and is non-refundable. The remaining dates are refundable until 60 days before check-in. To reiterate, we recommend that anyone considering a long-term stay purchase a trip interruption insurance policy. Ask and we can refer you. There are security cameras on the front door, but none inside - that would be creepy! We had to install the cameras, not for burglars but because we've had guest counts that exceeded what was reserved. This is not nice. Please be honest. We price based on how many are staying in the home. And we make sure it is a good value for either a retired couple of snowbirds or a big family on an adventure-filled vacation. And, even if you leave our home as clean as when you arrive, as required, the size of the group still makes a big difference in how much time and work our housekeeper has to do with laundry, etc. And then there are pets. Please don't try to sneak any in without including them in the booking. We need to make sure they are included in your damage insurance. There is a per-stay per dog pet fee. All pets must be crated if left alone in the house. And sorry, no cats period, too many people are allergic.
