About this house rental
Our 100-year-old farmhouse has been lovingly renovated and will accommodate 6 guests. The farmhouse retains its character through its screen doors, heart-pine wood floors, period furnishings, and wood stove. Interior furnishings were chosen to provide the plain and simple comforts of the early 20th Century.
The back porch rockers afford practically the same view today as they have for one hundred years. The house, old barn and outbuildings create a setting for you to not just see the valley, but actually be a part of it.
You can be as active as you wish—or as inactive. Watch the sun wake up the valley, experience the amazing vistas of a light-free night sky, hike the many trails along the Buffalo River. Canoe, fish, cook, read, visit, explore or just laze around. This farmstay offers many ways for you to enjoy the Upper Buffalo River and the woodlands, pastures, streams, and bluffs that make up the historic Boxley Valley.
Accommodations include two bedrooms upstairs with a full bath and one bedroom downstairs with attached full bath. Common rooms include a sitting room upstairs, a living room downstairs, an eat-in kitchen, and two covered porches.
James Larkin Villines and his wife, Eliza, who built the home, did without electricity or running water until 1942; now, however, guests can enjoy central heat and air, telephone, and wifi.
We require advanced notice of at least 48 hours.

We enjoyed a relaxing and memorable weekend here and can't wait to return! The farm house was impeccably curated with so many thoughtful details. We were delighted to eat out of the red and white china for every meal. The kitchen was well stocked with just about everything you'd need, including cast irons pans, serving dishes, and even martini glasses!We spent most of the weekend in rocking chairs, soaking in the view from the back porch. We enjoyed exploring the garden and being visited at the fence by the neighbor's horse (we shared a few carrots with him). Highly recommend this stay for a relaxing retreat.A few notes:- Wifi is slow and cell data was spotty. Don't expect to stream any TV shows unless you're lucky. We embraced the opportunity to disconnect, and board games are available upstairs.- The kitchen was well stocked with seasonings and utensils, but you may want to bring essentials like cooking oil, ziplock bags, and sharp knives just in case.

This is our second year to stay here for our spring retreat and we love this property!!! Convenient, clean, and consistent is how I would describe this property. We will be back again.

We loved the house. It was so charming and cozy. We especially enjoyed the back porch in the mornings and evenings. The location an view is calm and peaceful.The cold hole was amazing! We were disappointed with a few issues: when we sat down at the kitchen table to eat, it was covered with ants. There was a very dirty runner on the table that was stained and full of crumbs and dried food. We found ant spray in the closet so we cleaned the table, wiping away the crumbs and ants, and sprayed the table legs with ant spray. There were also spiders and spiderwebs in the bathtub which I had to clean out before i could use it. Lastly, the grill was caked with food chunks (which we cleaned) and would not flame and heat as it should. Overall, we loved the house but, considering the cost for the weekend, expected to have fewer issues than we did.
