The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse We're excited to share our unique vision with you through The Farmhouse. Hello! I'm Melinda Raber, the heart behind The Farmhouse. We're excited to welcome you!

My husband, Cole, and I are the proud parents of our son, Nathaniel (Nate), and dog-moms to our sweet girls, Finley and Sugar. Family is everything to us; I grew up in the close-knit community of Odon, Indiana, surrounded by a large, loving family. Cole is truly my rock – my voice of reason, the keeper of my heart, and an incredible dad to Nate. We share a deep passion for decorating, design, and bringing unique visions to life. There's a special joy we find in repurposing old items, giving them new purpose and beauty. Our goal with The Farmhouse is to offer a distinctive experience right here in our community. We're excited to see this vision grow and share our love for creativity and rustic charm with you. Forget the standard venue and elevate your next small gathering at The Farmhouse, where rustic charm meets unforgettable experiences. Imagine a weekend escape with close friends, sharing laughter around a crackling fire, or hosting an intimate celebration under the starlit country sky. More than just a rental, The Farmhouse offers a chance to create lasting memories in a setting that feels like home. Just a heads-up: The Farmhouse is nestled on a real, working farm, offering a truly unique and authentic experience. While The Farmhouse itself is your own private retreat, you might catch glimpses of my father-in-law (we call him PAPs!) tending to his crops, or hear the gentle hum of farm equipment as the farmhands work in the surrounding fields. It's the peaceful symphony of rural life, and we're thrilled to share our little slice of country paradise with you. We hope you'll consider The Farmhouse for your next weekend getaway or special event – it's a perfect place to reconnect with loved ones and create cherished moments. The possibilities are truly endless for:
-MICRO Wedding
-Family gatherings
-Unique and cozy photo shoots
-Bridal party stays, offering a beautiful wedding suite for your special day
-Bridal or baby showers
-Birthday parties
-Weekend getaways
-Holiday parties

A little update on availability!

We still have a few dates available in October, November and December at The Farmhouse, but the calendar is filling quickly.

I also have a couple spots left for porch decorating this fall!

And we’re officially starting a waiting list for Christmas Decorating! If you would like to be added to the list, let me know. Spots will be first come, first served, and we will begin scheduling from the list on November 1st.

If you’ve been thinking about having your porch, mantel, entryway or even an entire room decorated for the holidays, now is the time to get on the list!

Send me a message to reserve your spot.

It’s the details I love so much. 🤎

There is something I absolutely love about someone collecting all the things they love, pinning all the ideas, saving the inspiration, and then saying, “Okay, I want THIS. Here’s my stuff. Can you help me make it happen?”

Why yes. Yes, I can. 🥹

Taking your vision, your ideas, and all those little details you’ve been dreaming about and turning them into something real is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

At The Farmhouse, your dreams come true and your ideas come to life. Thank you for choosing us!

I CAN DO ONE MORE THIS MONTH!

Who wants to give their porch, mantel, fireplace, or even a room a little facelift?

You pick your budget, and I’ll show you what I can do with it.

Big transformation or simple refresh, let’s make your space feel like YOU.

One spot left for September. Who wants it?

Okay, here’s the one I almost kept to myself… Porch #2 from the weekend! I finally finished my own porch this weekend, and I have to say, I’m pretty in love with it. 🤎

I wanted it to feel natural and cozy without going full fall. Just a little corn stalks, greenery, plants and a few seasonal touches.

Sometimes the simplest details make the biggest difference.

So… what do you think?

09/13/2026

🍂 OKAY, I think this one might be my favorite porch yet!

Porch #1 of the weekend is officially done, and now I have a question… should I post my personal porch today, or make you guys wait until tomorrow?

This one is the perfect transition from summer into fall. Not too much fall, just the right touch to ease your way into the “ber” months.

Simple, elevated and cozy, with just enough fall to know the season is changing. 🤎

Want your porch transformed for fall? Message me to book your spot!

Thank you, Patty for all the help on this one! 😍

WAIT until you see what I turned my great finds from yesterday into! 🍂

What you see in the finished porch videos is the pretty part! Behind the scenes, there was a whole lot of loading, hauling, digging through my Odon thrift store finds, cutting cornstalks and picking out the perfect plants.

Add in some beautiful greenery and a little creativity, and it all came together into two beautiful, elevated fall porches with the perfect September vibes.

Now… who wants a quote for their porch? 👀

3 truths I live by. 🤎
Dream it.
Ask for it.

Take the first step.

The Farmhouse started with an idea… and a whole lot of “What if we actually did this?”

Sometimes you just have to believe in the vision before anyone else can see it.

Keep dreaming. Keep asking. Keep moving forward.
