It’s a wonderful old farm house with lots of character and is very room with lots of private surrounding land. Perfect spot for us to visit family. We’ve stayed there multiple times and will be back again I’m sure.

We were reunited with our foreign exchange student from 3 years ago! It was a very special time. The house worked out great for us. The location was good. And what was very helpful was all the extras that were provided. Tue kitchen was well stocked as was the laundry facilities! And the porch was fantastic! We would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old farmhouse. The house was exceptionally clean. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was lots of land to walk our dogs and the very large fenced in area for an off leash romp was a bonus. There were six adults in our party, and we had plenty of room to spread out. It was a great stay!

The farmhouse and grounds were a perfect spot for us to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Everyone loved it. The house itself is beautiful, complete with amazing woodwork and authentic creaky hardwood floors. I felt like I was back in my grandparents old house!

John was great in communicating to us. Unfortunately the air conditioning was not operating correctly upon arrival and the first night was a little toasty in the house! But the next morning it was repaired and cooled down so we slept comfortably! The house was clean and beds were comfortable. It’s unfortunate that the air conditioning was not working properly for one of the two nights we were there.

The house was amazing. Clean, comfortable beds, everything you need was there. So relaxing for our girls weekend. Close to shopping and food but relaxing like being in the country sitting on the porch with a coffee and a good book.

We wanted a place that could accommodate our family of 5 with their significant others. This Victorian beauty has so much charm! It gave us ample space to hang out as a family. We utilized the formal parlor to have a cup of coffee and visit. We enjoyed the informal family room to watch tv. Beds were super comfy in all the rooms. Check in and check out was so easy! We hope to stay here again!

If you're in search of a destination that seamlessly blends beauty, tranquility, and history, Fairview Farm is your answer. The charm of old-world architecture is beautifully preserved in this 1910 estate, a testament to the meticulous care taken by its owners. The unique nooks and crannies scattered around the house invited me to disconnect from the digital world, offering a sense of serene elegance. The grand staircase, the towel warmer, and other thoughtful amenities add to the overall charm, making you feel like royalty. The property itself is a photographer's dream, offering stunning views of the sunrise and sunset. This house is nothing short of enchanting. Communication with the owners was effortless, and the house was well-equipped for a memorable family dinner. The ample space provided plenty of room for children to play and explore, while the adults talked after dinner. I will most definitely be returning to Fairview Farm for future visits. I can't wait to see what remodel the owners will unveil next.

My sisters, mom, and I picked this two-story home for our annual weekend getaway. It had plenty of room for all six of us to play games at the dining table and catch up in the comfortable fireplace room. The eat-in kitchen was big enough for several of us to cook without missing the conversation at the kitchen table. When we didn’t feel like cooking, it was just a five-minute drive to downtown Marion. Too bad it was so cold, or we would have sat outside on the huge porch or taken advantage of the huge fire pit. We would definitely book this property again.

We had our annual family gathering at this property. It was a great experience for all. We made use of the "Stable" for our meals and gathering times. Very nice. We had 27 for our Thanksgiving meal and there was plenty of room. The house is very well furnished. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen met our needs. I highly recommend this property for your next stay.

Clean with comfortable beds. Hosts seemed accessible and easygoing. Loved the deer on the property, the quiet, the ambience, and the accessibility to everything we needed. My only complaint was that the house was only at 57 degrees when we arrived and, as old houses do, needed several hours to warm up.

The home is very nice, clean and spacious. They have done a great job turning an early 1900’s home into an enjoyable place to stay with everything that you may need. We had 8 total guests, and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and hang out. Highly recommend the home, and John was very responsive to any questions that we had. Thank you!!!

This house was built in 1910. It is gorgeous inside with much of the original woodwork and oak floors and is furnished with beautiful pieces from that era. Even though this property is within city limits, we felt like we were staying in the country. Our host, John, was very kind and accommodating and easy to reach if we had questions. We would definitely stay here again

I stayed in this house with a group of my girlfriends from school. We all grew up in Marion and no longer have parents living in our hometown. The house has been around for over a hundred years and has always been one that I loved. It did not disappoint. The host was responsive and carried a positive tone. This is a house we would stay in again.

This is an excellent place to stay for those family gatherings - Loads of room to spread out - inside and outside. The house is gorgeous with so much charm, it’s clean and updated with everything you might need. There is an awesome fenced in area for your dog to run jump and play. Hands down one of our favorites. We hope to stay here again!!

The historic farmhouse was spacious - both the house itself and the grounds on which it stands. Twice daily, a doe and her two fawn ambled across the spacious yard, grazing as they went. My German guest were especially thrilled with this experience. We all loved the wrap-around porch which offered a terrific panorama view of the yard, one which many games of cornhole were played! What an excellent experience!
