Your Hosts, The Allens:
Stormy (Black Lab) enthusiastic greeter. Watch that tail!
Bandit (Calico Cat) surveys scene from a variety of perches. May give the impression she'd like to know more about your family background or new tech holdings before she gets acquainted. Warms up later!
JoAnn a great cook!
Dick imagines himself Bob Newhart.
Courtney and Ransom the seventh generation of Allens to live on the farm (across the road with their parents). She'll let you pet her horses.

Antiques, Arts and Crafts - As a guest you get 20% off at our on premises shop.
Bicycling - We have trails through the woods and along the ditch banks, if you enjoy off road biking. Dick's a serious road biker and has maps of good local low traffic roads.
Tree-houses, Birding - Scattered throughout the woods, up to 20 feet in the air, accessed by ladder or stairs, open platforms or completely enclosed, these are great quiet retreats or wildlife observation posts.
Star-gazing - If you live in or near a city, it's a treat on a dark country night to see the sky! A lawn swing, a deck, a porch or a chair at the fire-pit can be your observation post.
Pasture Tour or Hayride - These can be arranged in advance or, often, on the spot. $5 per person, $20 minimum.

Casino - The Soaring Eagle Casino has major entertainment and full gambling services 20 minutes away at Mt. Pleasant.
Antiques and Auctions - The area has numerous antique shops. Hardly a weekend goes by without an estate auction or two.
Pine River - Known for fishing and canoeing.
Birding - The Maple River flats nearby are a prime location for many water birds.
Golf - Upscale or country, there are many area choices. A nice, very reasonably priced, 18 hole course adjoins the farm.
Chisolm House
This classic tenant or "hired man's" house from the late 19th century is open to the general public as well as Bon Accord Bed and Breakfast guests. Antiques and rural items come from area estate sales as well as the Allen's attic. Items made from barnwood salvaged at the farm are a specialty. They include bird houses, garden benches, picture frames and storage crates.
Hunting
Our deer hunting program is designed to maintain a healthy deer herd and produce some good racks for a limited number of hunters. Most of our hunters return year after year but we always welcome a few newcomers. 20 blinds are scattered on 1200 acres of woods, pasture and cropland. We do not fill them all; when our beds are full we are full!
Opening Day of rifle (we are in the first tier of rifle counties) requires a total season commitment of seven days. Return hunters have preference; this fills early.
Rates include sleeping accommodations and three great meals. Rifle season is $120 per day. A couple or father/son sharing a room costs $180 or, in the case of a non-hunting spouse, $160.
New Bow Hunters get a 20% discount on a weekday hunt.
Turkeys can be hunted during seasons. We seem to have |
