Blind Buck Valley Farmstead
Salem, New York 12865
Cows, horses, goats, and more!
Overview
Blind Buck Valley Farmstead (BBVF) is a women and family owned and operated farm stay experience nestled in the tranquil hills of the Battenkill Valley of upstate New York. We provide city-dwellers a refreshing reprieve from the fast-paced life and aim to be a gathering spot for you to enjoy time with loved ones. This nature getaway is the perfect destination for your vacation, special event, bachelorette/bachelor party or corporate retreat.
Stay at The Farmhouse, 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. Take a Farm Tour to play with our loving Alpine and LaMancha goats, bunnies, and barn cats and collect fresh farm eggs from our Chicken Coop. In the summers, we are home to a selection of cows and a horse named Ollie who visit us from OverEast Family Farm, as well as two ponies, Tiki and Indie. 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 and croquet, hay rides, pumpkin carving, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding. BBQ on the deck, take a dip in the pool or relax in the Jacuzzi spa as you take in wildlife and the glorious sunset. In the evening, sit around the fire pit and make s’mores and gaze at the star-filled sky.
