It was just as wonderful as last year! Property is well maintained, clean, and has everything that you need. Our family of six enjoyed helping with the farm chores, talking with Farmer Walton (such an interesting and kind man), roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, petting sweet Piper and Penelope, and generally just relaxing and being together. We also canoed on the New River and spent time in Boone. We hope to be able to come again in the future for sure! ##### Jessica I. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh R.

All the comforts of home, literally in the middle of nowhere. The wifi was excellent. We had everything we needed. Short drive to town and all necessities. The fire pit was used on our last night for smores. I give the farmhouse 5/5 stars, and would definitely recommend it to anyone going to an App St game! ##### Josh R.

Walton took them horse back riding too and it was the highlight of the stay. They helped out with feedings, picking eggs and few other things. We stayed at the Old Farmhouse and it is very comfortable. Kids are already begging to go back. ##### Iveta K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary K.

Just something magical about sitting on the front porch and being greeted by a peacock. Or watching the rabbits hop around. My kids favorite part was probably playing in the creek. Owner was absolutely fantastic and let us feed all the animals. They let the kids help with chores. Its an experience, i think they'll always have. ##### Mary K.

Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Always a fun time We come here almost every year for my daughter‘s birthday, which she requests every year. And she loves to stay in the farmhouse because all the animals are nearby. You can meet Mr. Walton at the barn in the mornings and help feed the animals and visit the horses. There’s a fun treasure hunt and fairy forest. We have also stayed at the nest in the past and had a great time, but my daughter likes being down at the farmhouse with all of the animals, especially Piper who would visit us every day. The town of West Jefferson is nearby with some fun shops. Don’t let the fact that there’s only one bathroom in the old farmhouse scare you… It’s huge. There’s always six or seven of us and we’ve never had a problem. We have always had a fun time there. ##### Sharon W. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nora B.

Their farm house was perfect for our family of eight. Everything we needed was there. There were plenty of spaces for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The farm itself is MAGNIFICENT! Betty and Walton are so gracious to share it. Walton is so good with the kids, including them and encouraging them with activities around the farm. Our grandkids did not want to leave. Our whole family looks forward to going back to the farm. Bonners ##### Nora B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve P. Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best place to stay EVER!!!! We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We only stayed a short, weekend stay but we had a blast. We were there in mid October and the fall colors were absolutely beautiful. The house was perfect. My wife absolutely loved it. She said it reminded her of her aunts house in Kentucky. The whole farm is wonderful. We really enjoyed hearing the roosters crow each morning and petting the horses, donkey and best of all was meeting "Piper" their dog. Piper went along on one our hikes up the mountain. If we could give it a 10 star rating we would. We are defiantly going back. If you want to experience the best in mountain living on a fantastic real live farm then you need to book this place for your next vacation. You won't regret it. ##### Steve P.

Our family of six truly loved our stay at the Old Farmhouse! The house was clean and comfortable as well as filled with interesting books (a complete set of Shakespeare's plays!) and toys for the children. It was an old house, but everything worked well. The one bathroom was gigantic, and we did not have a problem sharing it. While the attic had a very low ceiling, it had several windows and was perfect for the children. Farmer Walton was a charming and interesting host and the entire family (children, teenagers, and adults) enjoyed feeding the animals, finding eggs, hanging out with Piper (the dog) and Valentine (the turkey) on the deck, exploring the fairy trail, and hiking the many other trails. My older kids and husband even learned how to build a fence! The location was very convenient as well; it was only 20-30 minutes to Boone and 5-10 minutes to Todd, a very small town, but home to a great outfitter for canoeing/kayaking on the New River. Everyone was sad to leave, and we are definitely hoping to stay here again! ##### Jessica I. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan C.

There is tons of trails to hike with kids and beautiful views of the mountains and creeks. The property owners are very accommodating. They were gracious with my 4 crazy kids while feeding the animals. Thats a job in itself! :) We will be back. ##### Ryan C.

It was like being conveyed to another time. Honestly the whole experience was beyond words. We particularly enjoyed the long walks in the "enchanted" forest with Piper (the friendly collie), relaxing on the porch swing, and breathing the clean fresh mountain air. There was something for everyone to do or to just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet on the front porch swing. The owners were amazing and the house was spacious and inviting. I can't wait to go back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
