About this farm stay rental

Centered between Boxley and Ponca, the Villines Farmhouse is less than a five minute drive from the Lost Valley hiking trail, a very short drive to Ponca where one can rent canoes and float the Buffalo River, view the majestic bluffs of Steel Creek, hike Center Point trail just above Ponca to Hemmed in Hollow and Goats Bluff, or hike the Buffalo River hiking trail. From the front porch during rut season you can view herds of elk in the fields bordering the Buffalo River and watch bull elk spar over the harem. The fields viewed from the front porch are the prime place for the elk to gather during the fall and winter.
The Villines farmhouse was remodeled in 2023, It comes with luxury bedding, a full kitchen, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The Villines farm is also 100% offset with solar energy.

Can not say enough wonderful things about this place. The location is of course fantastic. We were able to see elk just up the road both days we were there, but the property is also really fantastic. We really enjoyed waking up and watching the cows across the street from our window or on the porch while drinking coffee. And maybe best of all, being greeted by and watching the friendly horses next door. The house is beautiful, clean, cozy and well appointed. From the fully stocked kitchen including spices, appliances, coffee bar, etc to games and toys for your kids and a hot tub. Anything you could want or need was available. Had a couple questions before check in and the host was very quick to respond. Would definitely stay again and again!

Family friendly and close to all the activities we wanted to visit. I highly recommend this house if you need a place to take your family, it's a perfect home away from home.

Please stay here!You will not regret your choice. We have stayed here before and couldn’t wait to return. It would comfortably sleep 7 people but my husband and I love it so much we stay here and never go upstairs. It is so comfortable and even the smallest of needs are met. It is the perfect location for views the elk in the fall. Each day we sat in the living room and watch one grazing in the pasture across the road. Internet is great at the house but don’t expect AT&T service when you drive around. I cannot comment on the hot tub, we chose not use it. The host is great and yes, we will be returning!

This is the best location to see the elk. The property was clean, beautifully updated, and Mattie is a great host. Very detailed oriented and we had fresh flowers, coffee, fully stocked kitchen, fire pit, hot tub, bbq grill. Great stay!
