This is an outstanding house for a family or friends get-together. The pool is beautiful and huge --with a diving board and a cabana that even had a misting machine to keep cool! There was a basketball/pickleball court, and swingset for little kids. The house has a playroom for little kids. And a HUGE screened-in porch that has an antique pool table, a ping pong table and darts, as well as several couches and eating areas to hang out and enjoy truely incredible views. The house has a ton of character and lots of room to spread out. A huge living room, two separate sitting rooms and a huge kitchen with a large table that seats around 10(?) people and a couch and sitting area and also a separate dining room with an incredibly large table. We took a lovely walk to the water (about 1/2 mile walk along fields). I unfortunately ran out of time and was not able to go kayaking. The caretaker was extremely responsive and we were allowed to check in as early as we liked and could stay at the pool as late as we liked. I would really love to go back.

We were looking for an almost-post-pandemic weeklong family getaway that kept some separation between us and others but had lots to do, and this property hit that mark beautifully. My primary impression was that everything there was authentic and approachable - they type of things you would buy for yourself if you liked nice things, as opposed to things provided for guests to check a box. This applied to the furnishings, the grill, and all the recreational options. The dining room table comfortably seated the eleven of us with room to spare in an elegant space. There was plenty of comfortable social space for cards and games, and the screened porch was a terrific, generous space, with a ping pong table, snooker table, and darts, all of which were used. The equipment was what you'd buy for yourself if you liked nice things, not just cheap things made available for rental guests. The pool area was an absolute highlight, with nice brick patio work and a great covered area for reading, napping and socializing. We loved being on such a large plot of land, and enjoyed the walk down to the river, where we enjoyed kayaking. The volleyball setup and croquet all were enjoyed, and even the pickleball court. This is an old house (see the listing), so you need to love and appreciate an old house and how hard it is to retrofit such a property with modern plumbing, a real kitchen and air conditioning. If you love an old house lovingly appreciated and maintained, you will love this. Our only (minor) disappointment was that we were looking forward to horseback riding. We didn't make arrangements ahead of time, and when we got there they were all booked up. Also, they only do lessons, not trail-type rides, which I hadn't anticipated. We enjoyed watching the horses in the pasture nonetheless. The location is not a prime one for dining in restaurants, but that's not what we were looking for. Cedric was gracious about check-in and check-out and communicating promptly, and Harley, who takes care of things on the property, was pleasant, thoughtful and helpful, again easily reachable. Recommend this property without reservation.

Lots of space and great pool and sports court for the kids. Great communication from the host too!

We enjoyed our stay at Tynewyyd Farm. Our family of 9 (5 year old to 67 year old) was able to visit each other for the first time during this pandemic. It was the perfect location for this reunion. Cedric, the owner, was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We were able to check-in early and stay past the traditional check-out time. Our family enjoyed those extra hours together. The grounds were absolutely beautiful. We loved looking out from the screened porch at the corn fields and the river beyond that. We also really enjoyed seeing the horses so close to the farm. While we were there we used the two kayaks that were available, swam in the pool, played basketball on the sport court, took horse back riding lessons, and fired up the gas grill. The house was well equipped with life jackets, rafts for the pool, sheets, and towels. This is a historic home and has the charm and some of the eccentricities of older homes. Overall, it was one of the best family vacations we have ever had, in a beautiful setting, with so much to do. It left us all wanting to move to The Farm to live full time! The Farm was the perfect backdrop for our socially-distanced, family trip.

We had a great visit - the property is beautiful, inside and out. The house has been lovingly restored and retains historic charm with the comforts of modern upgrades. The land is beautiful, the pool was a great way to spend an afternoon (and very thoughtfully set up for relaxation), and the horse farm nearby was delightful. We visited some local antiques shops, ordered crabs and explored the nearby parks, which rounded out a great trip. Our whole group could not stop talking about how much we loved our visit and figuring out when we could come back. Thank you for a wonderful getaway!

A wonderful family spot. Plenty of room for everyone. Many activities for all ages and the swimming pool was used everyday.
