Farmhouse

Enjoy a relaxing stay in our 18th Century, fully restored Farmhouse.
We offer all the comforts of home with modern amenities and a hint of nostalgia.

Our farmstead boasts a friendly atmosphere and is the perfect venue for family vacations, business retreats, ski trips, weekend getaways, reunions, farm weddings and other events.

The house boasts five antique-appointed bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a half bath, a large dining room and modern kitchen, and a gorgeous sun room with views of the property from three directions.

The spacious family room featuring a wood-burning stove invites you to sit back and relax and enjoy all the luxuries of a family farm vacation.

With the farmhouse rental you’ll also enjoy the private backyard, which features an in-ground heated and saltwater swimming pool, deck with a spa Jacuzzi, bar and lounge seating area, and stone patio with large dining table, gas grill and fire pit. You can BBQ on the deck, take a dip in the swimming pool or relax in the Jacuzzi spa as you take in wildlife and the glorious sunset. In the evening, sit around the fire pit and make s’mores while you gaze at the star-filled sky.

Throughout the year at BBVF you can hike through grassy meadows, bird watch, play lawn games, snow shoe, cross-country ski and sled.

Guests can enjoy a private tour of the farm where you can pet and feed our goats, pigs, barn cats and chickens and a wagon ride to explore the hills. You can also collect their own eggs from the chicken coop and during the summer and fall, visit our pumpkin patch and pick-your-own pumpkin for carving.

The farmhouse and the 4.6 acres it sits on are private to you during your farm stay vacation. The house boasts five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dining room, sitting room, library, family room with flat screen TV, kitchen and gorgeous sunroom. There is WiFi at the house as well as a selection of popular DVDs and classic VHS tapes. The expansive, private lawn area offers plenty of room for outdoor games like volleyball, cornhole, badminton, horse shoes, and croquet, all of which are provided. Our beautiful backyard features a deck with spa Jacuzzi and lounge seating area, stone patio with umbrella, large outdoor dining area, gas grill and fire pit. Steps away you’ll find the in-ground, saltwater and heated swimming pool with a 3-foot shallow end and 6-foot deep end and LED lights for night swimming.

Everything you find in our home is available for use during your stay. We have a fully equipped kitchen with a soft pantry, offering basics such as coffee and condiments. Linens, towels, propane and a reasonable amount of toilet paper/paper towels are provided. As a special thank you for choosing BBVF, you’ll find 10 fresh eggs from our hens in the fridge upon arrival. We have made countless, priceless memories over the years at our farmstead, and we welcome you to do the same.

As we are a working farm, our managers and various caretakers visit the property daily to tend to the farm and animals. They enter and exit through a separate farm road and will not interfere with your stay. We utilize a digital check-in but our Guest Relations Manager will be in touch with you leading up to check-in to provide details and answer questions. She will be available throughout your stay should you have issues, but otherwise you’ll have the place to yourself. If you would like a farm tour to pet and feed our animals and to collect your own farm fresh eggs from the chicken coop, we would be pleased to schedule that for you.

From May through October our Glampground is open and may be rented by one group. The Glampground is located ¼ mile from the farmhouse and guests use the farm road to access.
