Staying at The Farmhouse: Enjoy a relaxing stay in our 18th Century, fully restored Farmhouse.
We offer all the comforts of home with modern amenities and a hint of nostalgia. Originally build in 1795 and available to rent year-round. It boasts five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rec room featuring a pool table, foosball table, table tennis and a variety of board games for all ages, and ample living space. The backyard has a deck with jacuzzi (open year-round), in-ground salt water, heated swimming pool (open May to mid-October), gas grill and fire pit. All of these amenities and the 5 acres of lawn around the farmhouse are private to the group who books this way to stay. There is also a private driveway to enter/exit, and parking for up to six cars.
Staying at The Glampground: Looking for an elevated camping experience? Look no further than our private Glampground, offering all the perks of camping with the amenities of home.
This private, drive-up site is nestled in a grove of pine trees and flanked by rolling hills and woods. It features four individual sleeping tents, each furnished with queen-sized bed and the ability to add up to two twins, accommodating up to 16 people in total. The site also has an outdoor kitchen with stainless steel sink and running hot/cold water, gas grill with propane provided, cold/dry storage, outhouses, showers with hot/cold water and private changing area, two additional sinks, large fire pit with ample seating, multiple picnic tables, lawn games, and hammocks. The entire site is lit with solar lighting. Guests at the Glampground use a private road to come and go as they please. The Glampground is open May – October.
Regardless of how you stay with us, you’ll have the chance to take a Farm Tour to play with our loving Alpine and LaMancha goats, donkeys, pigs, horses, ponies and barn cats and collect fresh farm eggs from our Chicken Coop. In the summers, we are home to a selection of cows who visit us from OverEast Family Farm, and at least once calf is born on the farm during that time. Hike and sled the hills, watch wildlife, and leave recharged.
Throughout the year, BBVF offers seasonal activities such as hiking through grassy meadows, bird watching, lawn games such as horse shoes, volleyball, badminton, cornhole and croquet, wagon rides, pumpkin carving, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding.
