If you're looking for a unique, rustic, quiet place and have an appreciation for farm animals, this is certainly a place worthy of your consideration. Be aware that they do not allow you to bring pets of any kind because of the potential clash with their own critters. Barbara, the hostess, is very cordial and eager to share her local knowledge to maximize your experience within the community. Being New Hampshire residents, we stayed 3 nights in June and loved the whole laid-back, rural experience. Check this place out if you're looking for that kind of vibe.

As we drove onto the property there was a horse, two miniature horses, a donkey, and another animal I did not identify. On the drive to the cabin there was a cat who loved to have company.We arrived at the cabin. It was beautiful and had a warm ambiance. Fortunately, the air-conditioner was not an 1832 model. The place did smell of a little too much linen scented air freshener, but other than that, the furniture was very comfortable, the cabin was cleaned to a professional level and bathrooms were equal to what you would find in a 3 to 4-star hotel.Outside of the cabin was a large pond with ducks, geese, fish, and frogs. The property surrounded by trees and the sound of birds. My lungs were free of city smog for a while, and we were able to truly relax for the first time in years. If it weren't for so many other places that we want to visit we would definitely be headed back to this lovely cabin.Skip Webb

Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. The cabin is exactly as advertised a beautifully preserved 19th century structure sitting on an 85-acre farm. The setting is genuinely picturesque, and we felt more relaxed simply by being there. The fireplace was an unexpected highlight. Visiting in May, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to use it, but it was rainy and unseasonably cool. There was firewood provided, and all tools for tending to the fire [we forgot to clean out the ashes before we left so, maybe keep that in mind]. The location was great not only for the tranquility, but also the proximity to essentially all wineries in the area, as well as downtown Elkin, which was significantly more vibrant that I had assumed. The location made it very easy to access hiking trails and a state park. Would recommend.

Quiet country atmosphere in a very old rustic farm house, Winery is close and your not farm from town
