Lovingly restored farmhouse in a beautiful setting. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very quiet enjoyable stay. Lovely house with well appointed kitchen.

This is a lovely family home, filled with historic charm and modern amenities due to a major renovation. The house and furnishings are immaculate and elegant. The host lives here periodically, so expect more communications regarding your stay. She clearly cares about the house, as she should. There is an in-residence caretaker who lives in an apartment off the kitchen (he has his own entrance and facilities, so he doesn't enter the rental.) He was discreet to the point of near invisibility, yet helpful and available when we sought him out. The host maintains her own private bedroom suite in the main rental house (not included in the rental), but she was not in residence during our rental, nor can I imagine she will be there during yours. She is quite pleasant. There are two outdoor patios, a lovely front porch, plus a fire pit in the yard. We spent most of our evenings out on the spacious main patio, where there is also a gas grill. We rented the house for a family reunion and it was great to have so many spaces to share together. The house is on a very quiet dirt road, but not far from a main road. There is some intermittent road noise in the distance that you can hear if you have your windows open. You'll also get to hear Canadian geese on a lake somewhere and the occasional coyote. The air was fresh and invigorating thanks to all the surrounding forestland / Audubon sanctuary. The house does not have air conditioning. We rented in August and were lucky to have a cool week, but I'm told that even in hot weather there is reasonable air flow due to the elevation. The house does have fans and/or ceiling fans in each bedroom, but we hardly used them. There are three nicely updated bathrooms, but only one has a true shower. The top floor bathroom has a tub with a hand-held shower wand, not ideal for most. We managed just fine, but it is useful to know this in advance. The bedrooms were a little confusing on the listing due to an old photo. The 2nd floor has three bedrooms, two with a queen and one with two smallish twin beds. The 3rd floor has two bedrooms, one with a king and twin and one with two twins. We comfortably slept 10. The kitchen is well equipped and the owner generously lets you use her cooking spices. The kitchen has a very functional layout. All in all, this is a lovely, well-maintained home. It felt familiar and inviting to us. We certainly hope to return again.

Absolute perfect home in the perfect location. My only wish is we get to stay a few weeks later so we can see the incredible garden in full bloom. The home is lovely and you can tell immediately of the rich history of its owners. Thank you for your kind hospitality. We look forward to coming back very soon!!!!

My family and I stayed here for a family gathering, and the house was perfect for our weekend getaway. Plenty of bedrooms, living areas, and great location for a relaxing vacation. I would recommend for larger familes and groups of friends.

This is a nice old house just a few minutes outside of Sharon center. Caretakers live on site and are very friendly. They do their best to leave renters alone except when needed. Our only comment is that the owner was concerned about us bringing kids and furnished a long list of house rules and things not to touch. We have certainly stayed in nicer rentals and never really been given such a list. This part was a little off-putting. Personally, if I were so concerned about my things, I would either not rent the house or remove those items. Nevertheless, the weekend went off without a hitch. Coordination with owners/ caretakers was easy. What little time we spent on the property was enjoyable. We would come back and we would recommend to others.

The house was beautiful and well equipped for our family. The caretakers live in guest quarters right next to the house and you can hear them when you are in the kitchen. They were very nice. Beside that this house is a great find!

We loved our stay at Fair Rising! The house is a charming old farmhouse but we were pleased to find it has been impeccably maintained and is spotlessly clean. The house is great for families - there is even a charming little bedroom with a cozy play nook. The caretakers were lovely and helpful - especially when we city slickers could not figure out the flue on the fireplace! The house is well situated near Sharon Green yet very private and up a quaint dirt road. We would recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxed getaway with their family.

My husband have spent two weekends at this beautiful home in Sharon. Both times we came away relaxed, happy, and reluctant to leave. We spent much of the first weekend outside, hiking in the nearby Audubon Reserve and a 30 minute drive away in Hidden Valley. We spent much of the second weekend reading in front of the splendid fireplace in the family room! All of the rooms in the house are elegant yet comfortable. The bedrooms are charming. We chose a bedroom at the top of house and it felt like being in our own little hideaway. The kitchen has everything you need, and more. The grounds are large and peaceful and we look forward to going back in the summer or fall to see them in fuller bloom. A lovely place.

The house and property were perfect in every way. Large spacious house was perfect for our group with a number of bedrooms. Library with fireplace was such a great room to spend time in during the day with a beautiful wood burning fireplace to sit in front of. Great hosts made everything simple and easy for us, our arrival and departure were seamless.
