We could not have had a nicer time. The farmhouse is nestled in a quiet, private and picturesque location. Perfect place to relax, yet close to outdoor activities that will keep one busy. All the amenities that we needed were provided and then some. I love the historical presence of the home with it's updated, comfortable living conditions. We are definitely going back.

Always a wonderful stay!

We’ve stayed at the Bald Knob Farmhouse many times and love it every time. It’s so peaceful and homey and we enjoy just hanging out and spending some quiet time there. Clara is wonderful to work with and we hope to continue visiting many more times in the future.

My family of 6 had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! There was plenty of room for all of us. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. If we are back in town at another time we would love to stay there again!

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.

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

Family Christmas

Two of my adult children and spouses stayed as part of my Christmas gift. Beautiful home, amenities, location. They were so happy and cozy in this 150 year old, thoroughly upfitted farmhouse. The owner was most excellent with communication, making sure everyone had what they needed for a great Christmas! Thank you!

What a wonderful property

We’ve rented quite a few vacation rentals and this one is pretty much at the top. It was such a great location and the porch is amazing. The house is so well appointed and you can tell it is well loved. We would rent this again for sure. Thank you so much Clara. We had so much fun.

Lovely House!

I was very happy staying at The Bald Knob Farm House. The amount of charm and history in the house is overwhelming in the best way! The owners were sweet and made the house very welcoming (including some delicious apple butter). My group had a lot of fun on this trip and staying in this house!
