But does this actually let you get an insight to how beautiful the land truly is?No, you have to get out there and find the view that fits for you. That highway view is something that everyone see's just passing through and it isn't special. Getting out into the mountains like this, is one of the many ways that i love to get away from things and get that "me time". I suggest that everyone get out and take some time to get away from technology and become close to nature.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621561872156/c5ca8b7e-b60a-4cbb-8fdf-47a36030c080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Elk Knob State Park 18 min drive \- 11.7 miles - ![Boone_DanielBooneNativeGardens_6162847_008](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6162847/ab0adf17-0392-404c-9c54-5d95836a2def.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Daniel Boone Native Gardens 22 min drive \- 15.3 miles - ![Boone_AppalachianStateUniversity_6172349-4](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6172349/e740d392-995c-4e99-89c0-943b429dfc67.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Appalachian State University 23 min drive \- 15.7 miles - The Mill at Rock Creek 13 min drive \- 10.4 miles - Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex 19 min drive \- 13.7 miles ### Restaurants - Skullz Tavern - Mountain Meadows 19 min drive - Crooked Oaks 13 min drive - Pie Daze 24 min drive ## About this property ### Live on a Horse Farm, Kids Ride Horses, Gather Eggs, Hike, Fish, Swim, Sauna Family-friendly farm stay in the mountains You can look forward to a firepit, a garden and a playground at Live on a Horse Farm, Kids Ride Horses, Gather Eggs, Hike, Fish, Swim, Sauna.

Such a special place to spend time, away from the hustle and bustle. It’s close enough to a couple of towns that you can venture out easily, but I always feel totally relaxed and at peace when I’m here. By no means us it a luxury vacation, but that’s the point.

This was our second year staying at the Old Farmhouse. It was just as wonderful as last year! Property is well maintained, clean, and has everything that you need. Our family of six enjoyed helping with the farm chores, talking with Farmer Walton (such an interesting and kind man), roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, petting sweet Piper and Penelope, and generally just relaxing and being together. We also canoed on the New River and spent time in Boone. We hope to be able to come again in the future for sure! ##### Jessica I.

All the comforts of home, literally in the middle of nowhere. The wifi was excellent. We had everything we needed. Short drive to town and all necessities. The fire pit was used on our last night for smores. I give the farmhouse 5/5 stars, and would definitely recommend it to anyone going to an App St game! ##### Josh R.

And she loves to stay in the farmhouse because all the animals are nearby. You can meet Mr. Walton at the barn in the mornings and help feed the animals and visit the horses. There’s a fun treasure hunt and fairy forest. We have also stayed at the nest in the past and had a great time, but my daughter likes being down at the farmhouse with all of the animals, especially Piper who would visit us every day. The town of West Jefferson is nearby with some fun shops. Don’t let the fact that there’s only one bathroom in the old farmhouse scare you… It’s huge. There’s always six or seven of us and we’ve never had a problem. We have always had a fun time there. ##### Sharon W.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We only stayed a short, weekend stay but we had a blast. We were there in mid October and the fall colors were absolutely beautiful. The house was perfect. My wife absolutely loved it. She said it reminded her of her aunts house in Kentucky. The whole farm is wonderful. We really enjoyed hearing the roosters crow each morning and petting the horses, donkey and best of all was meeting "Piper" their dog. Piper went along on one our hikes up the mountain. If we could give it a 10 star rating we would. We are defiantly going back. If you want to experience the best in mountain living on a fantastic real live farm then you need to book this place for your next vacation. You won't regret it. ##### Steve P.

Our family of six truly loved our stay at the Old Farmhouse! The house was clean and comfortable as well as filled with interesting books (a complete set of Shakespeare's plays!) and toys for the children. It was an old house, but everything worked well. The one bathroom was gigantic, and we did not have a problem sharing it. While the attic had a very low ceiling, it had several windows and was perfect for the children. Farmer Walton was a charming and interesting host and the entire family (children, teenagers, and adults) enjoyed feeding the animals, finding eggs, hanging out with Piper (the dog) and Valentine (the turkey) on the deck, exploring the fairy trail, and hiking the many other trails. My older kids and husband even learned how to build a fence! The location was very convenient as well; it was only 20-30 minutes to Boone and 5-10 minutes to Todd, a very small town, but home to a great outfitter for canoeing/kayaking on the New River. Everyone was sad to leave, and we are definitely hoping to stay here again! ##### Jessica I.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella F. 9 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It's our 5th stay as a family with two growing kids, the oldest is now 12 and still enjoys visits to the farm. There's something very special about this farm stay and I'm sure we'll be returning again. We always love feeding the animals, relaxing on the porch, listening to the creek and the animals. We got to use the sauna this trip and that was quite the lovely experience, especially as a thunderstorm rolled through. ##### Ella F.

Walt kindly allowed us to follow him around and help with farm chores which our three girls (ages 6-12) loved! Walt also very patiently took us on a horseback trail ride with first time riders. The Old Farm House smelled like an older house when we arrived, but after airing it out by opening the windows it was much better. We will definitely plan to return. ##### Erin R.

Close enough to enjoy Boone, but far enough away to unwind. Great for kids to unplug and enjoy nature. Look forward to coming back in the summer. ##### BRANDI G.

Walton took them horse back riding too and it was the highlight of the stay. They helped out with feedings, picking eggs and few other things. We stayed at the Old Farmhouse and it is very comfortable. Kids are already begging to go back. ##### Iveta K.

A year later all the kids still talk about this place. Just something magical about sitting on the front porch and being greeted by a peacock. Or watching the rabbits hop around. My kids favorite part was probably playing in the creek. Owner was absolutely fantastic and let us feed all the animals. They let the kids help with chores. Its an experience, i think they'll always have. ##### Mary K.

They are so gracious and kind. Their farm house was perfect for our family of eight. Everything we needed was there. There were plenty of spaces for everyone to spread out and enjoy. The farm itself is MAGNIFICENT! Betty and Walton are so gracious to share it. Walton is so good with the kids, including them and encouraging them with activities around the farm. Our grandkids did not want to leave. Our whole family looks forward to going back to the farm. Bonners ##### Nora B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ---
