Stars in the sky at night were so beautiful. We enjoyed the time in front of bonfire. I won't forget the milky way.
Cabin was clean and well maintained. Thank Jeff and Teresa!
Great location, great atmosphere, and amazing hosts. Jeff and Teresa are some of the most kind people I have ever met. Their property is great.
We loved our stay at Loafer's Glory! The barn cabin was very thoughtfully restored and decorated, and it comes with everything you need. The property was beautiful and secluded. Don't miss the historic 1840s homestead-- so fun to explore!
Thanks Jeff and Teresa!
Was our first getaway during the pandemic and it couldn't be better. The barn is beautiful! There are nice hikes you can take on the property and not see another person. Teresa and Jeff have kept the place clean, stocked, sanitized, and ensure that bathrooms are not shared. Our kids loved running up and down the meadows, playing cornhole, making a fire, and Xena, the dog, was a great host to our canine as well!
Awesome property with the kindest host! Be sure to explore the property and check out the night sky!
I loved everything about the barn and this property! I found the barn extremely clean. The barn provided us with lots of the "home" stuff we needed (i.e. table, beds, mini fridge, etc). I thought the inside and outside were so well designed. I cannot wait to come again. Jeff and Teresa did such an awesome job making us feel welcome. Hats off to you both!
Highly suggest: exploring the farm trails & original home steads, go to Seneca Rocks (beyond worth it), watch the stars at night (INCREDIBLE), stay more than just a weekend...I wanted so much more time.
Jeff and Teresa were absolutely awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable of the history of their camp and the surrounding area. They were also very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give them a 10. If you are looking for a getaway in a rustic outdoors setting they are who you want to book with.
