About this farm stay rental
Beautifully restored country farmhouse, originally built in 1795. The house sits on 4.6 private acres within an expansive, 180-acre working farm in the historic and cozy town of Salem, NY. The house consists of five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an impressive library, cozy living room with wood-burning stove and flat screen TV featuring Netflix, Hulu and Amazon and a wide selection of DVDs, cheery sun room with gorgeous views of the property, and a rec room with slate pool table, foosball table, table tennis, loads of board games, and a record player with collection of vintage records. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking and entertaining needs, and there is ample of space in the common areas to comfortably accommodate large groups.
Our beautiful backyard features an in-ground, heated, salt water swimming pool (open May to mid-October), deck with lounge seating and spa jacuzzi (jacuzzi is open year-round), dining table that seats 12, gas grill and a fire pit (also open year-round and we provide one bundle of complimentary wood). Whether you're hiking through the nearby hills, touring the barns to feed and play with our friendly animals, or walking to town to explore the local shops, your stay here will be one of a kind.
Our Farmstead is home to goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, a pony, pigs and barn cats, all who love attention. In the spring-fall, we also host cows who come to pasture and have their calves on the farm. We offer supervised tours of the barns so guests can feed and play with the animals. You can also collect fresh farm eggs in the chicken coop.
There are two ways to stay at BBFV - the Farmhouse (open year-round) and the Glampground (open Memorial Day Weekend through Columbus Day). Each can be rented by one group at a time and share the larger farmstead (fields, hiking trails, farm barns etc.). The Farmhouse, backyard with pool, jacuzzi, fire pit and the 5 acres of lawns it sits on are private to the group that rents the Farmhouse. The Glampground and pines that surround it are private to that group. The Farmhouse uses the upper driveway to enter/leave while the Glamground uses the lower driveway.
The Farmstead is conveniently located within a 35 minute drive to popular places such as Saratoga Springs and Lake George, NY and Bennington and Manchester, VT that boast lots of activities and things to do -- wineries, golf courses, spas, outlet shopping, horseback riding, lakes for boating, swimming and kayaking, laser tag, movies and more. We are less than an hour from Albany International Airport. In the winter, ski local New York mountains like Willard and West mountains that are under 20 minutes away, or drive 35 minutes into VT to beautiful Bromley. We are an hour from Stratton Mountain, the largest mountain in the area.

The farmstead was perfect for our vacation with a big group of 5 families. Check-in was super easy, the facilities were clean, and there was so much to do on the property both inside and outside of the house. Even with 10 adults and several kids ages 5 and under, it felt like there was plenty of space. The kids absolutely loved the farm tour and seeing the animals. We 100% recommend this place and would come back again!

Everything was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and the animals and property were so special! The host was generous and caring and gifted us eggs from their beautiful chickens! Everything was absolutely perfect and made a beautiful weekend even more wonderful. Thank you!

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful property in an idyllic setting. Suitable for just staying put for a number of days with plenty of entertainment options or as a home base to explore the local area. Highly recommended.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2025
The property was just as advertised -- a beautiful old farmhouse with plenty of room to stretch out and to gather and socialize. We spent Christmas week here and were delighted to have snow -- and happily used the sleds that come with the house. The large, well equipped kitchen allowed several cooks at the same time; the lovely sun room and living rooms were favorite gathering spots; and there were plenty of bedrooms for all! The farm animals were a wonderful bonus!! The owner and farm staff could not have been more responsive and accomodating!
