Thirties is a charming 600 sq ft studio apartment on the lower level of Stirling Cottage, (the farmhouse above that can sleep up to 16 people.)
It is a perfect place for a casual weekend or for longer term lodging (which comes with a significant discount.) Thirties features a hand-built (sorry, non-working) massive stone fireplace, a fully equipped 1930's - style kitchen, and unique bathroom. The main room has a daybed that sleeps two, with an art screen that separates it from the bedroom with twin beds. (Ample floor space would allow 2 extra guests on air mattresses - extra charge of $20/person/night.) An inside stairway connects Thirties to Stirling, - together, they can sleep up to 22 people. Or the stairway door can be locked on both sides for guest privacy - Thirties has its own private entry.

Situated on 60 beautiful, peaceful acres, we are a working farm with a laughing creek bordering the west edge of the property. Stroll the property, lounge in the hammock with one of the affectionate cats, listen to the birds, have morning coffee leisurely at the table under the trees,
and take a journey back to a simpler time with the vintage ambiance of this lodging.
PLEASE NOTE: I cannot accommodate animals inside the apartment because so many of my guests have allergies.

Here are three additional amenities that may interest your group:
FARM TOUR
At the Cottage farm, (weather/season permitting,) we offer a Farm Tour which includes interacting with and hand-feeding Hannah & Hezzy, our long-hair Scottish Highland heifer & bull; Tom and Harry, our two Alpacas; Rebecca, our LaMancha milk goat (and the other goats;) Libby, Valiant, & Esther, our Anatolian/Pyrenees goat guardians; and, Jill, the affectionate barn cat.
Across the road at the Stirling farm are beautiful St. Gertrudis cattle, my assortment of chickens, and more sweet, affectionate cats. In addition to interacting and hand-feeding the animals (except Libby,) the tour includes milking lessons (when Rebecca is still producing,) and egg collection - $30 for 1-10 people - $40 for 11-20.

MASSAGE:
I am acquainted with an experienced massage therapist, who brings her table and supplies to the property. One recent guest who has experienced professional massage therapy in many of her world-wide travels, said, Elise gave me the best massage I have ever had! And another said, - “ Elise gave Rich the best massage he has had since we left Arizona 20 years ago!” (Advanced notice necessary-payment made directly to Elise.)

CATERING:
There are also two caterers within five miles of the farm:
Angie Smith – catering – smoked meats, etc.
Mende Staggs – cakes and full meal catering.
Communication and payment made directly to them.

    I stayed here for two months while interning for a local EMS service. The apartment was clean and the location was great! It was quiet and peaceful yet close enough to all necessary shops and restaurants. Merre was super nice. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! I definitely recommend this place!

    Nobody was there to meet us and we never got any check in information. We waited over an hour for someone to show up after several calls to her. The last night of our stay the people above us were very loud until 2 am.

    We were gone during the day but really enjoyed the outdoor space when we returned late afternoon. The house was well suited for our large group.

    Every part of our stay at Merre's property was lovely. Very clean and well cared for, as well as special attention to details. While they location was out of the city (which we wanted) it also was only a 15 minute drive to major stores. The chickens and cats were cute and the walks around the farm and creek were wonderful. We hope to convince our extended family to come with us another time. Thank you, Merre!

    If you are looking for a great experience on a cattle/chicken/cat farm in the southern-mid US that is kid-friendly this is your place! I am an Agriculture Education Instructor and FFA Advisor from Ohio who took two of my three sons to Merre’s farm for a quick night’s stay in “Our element” before a college visit to Oklahoma State University- the first thing we did (as it was almost dusk) was hike into the pasture of Santa Gertrudis cattle - we raise angus crossbreds amd crossbred hogs - many of which we utilize for show stock - the experience WE had was being around an atypical species for us but the herd quickly found us as their own and followed us back up toward the barn ? Point being this is a well kept heard that many can experience as non-herdsmen! Great place to “get ur country on” just say “Cow’s C’mon!” ? Well recommended!
