Great Farmhouse
We stayed in the property in September 2024 and the house is a charming farmhouse that is very spacious. The property owners were extremely kind and stopped in to check in on us during our stay. They are truly good people and we appreciate their thoughtfulness.

Charming Farmhouse
This was the second time my family has stayed here. We thoroughly enjoyed it again. It’s a charming old but well maintained farmhouse with a comfortable wrap-around porch in a quiet, remote location. The main street of the small town of Sparta is about 15 minutes away. Highly recommend

Perfect Getaway
We had a great time. The home and grounds are beautiful and give you a nostalgic longing for days gone by. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay. The strawberry rhubarb jam was delicious. Sorry we didn’t get to leave Wendell the whistling whistle pig any jam. 😉

This house was perfect for our family trip. It was just as listed and perfect. We got to spend time with family and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with my Aunt and Uncle that live in Glade Valley. We will rent this house again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The location was idea, only 5 miles from downtown Sparta. The farmhouse was furnished with all kitchen necessities. We enjoyed the lovely wrap-around porch every morning/evening. The beds were very comfy, not too soft or firm, just perfect for a good nights sleep. The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. She even provided us with a cast iron skillet when we inquired about one. Hope we get a chance to come again!!

We will definitely be back. Loved the property no issues. Nice size rooms. Owners were responsive to any questions. We didnt get there until dark so they did leave the front light on for us which was nice. Loved drinking coffee on the porch.

Beautiful, well-maintained farmhouse with plenty of room
Charming old farmhouse with plenty of large bedrooms and welcoming common spaces, perfect for a family getaway. Super mix of the old and new -- many beautiful old/antique furniture pieces, cozy fireplaces in kitchen and living room, but also new, comfortable beds, an updated shower, TV's in living room and bedrooms and Wi-Fi/Internet. Add in the wonderful, attentive owner/hosts - it felt like staying with family. Couldn't ask for more!

This is my second visit and I wanted to share this precious home with my sisters. We had a girls weekend to unwind and relax by the fireplace. Played our very lively card games at the cute kitchen table and shared memories in the comfy living room. Enjoyed the cute shops in town. Great weekend!!!

Farmhouse Bald Knob Pleasures
We enjoyed the beautiful Farmhouse and found that it was also a convenient location. We have friends in Sparta and other friends came up to enjoy a "friends gathering." Everyone loved the Farmhouse and it was perfect for our needs. It was a pleasure to meet Clara upon checking in. We enjoyed learning some of the history of the Farmhouse and area from her. We recommend the Farmhouse and hopefully have started a tradition to visit especially for the fall foliage peeping.
