About this farm stay rental

Beautifully restored country farmhouse, originally built in 1795. The house sits on 4.6 private acres within an expansive, 180-acre working farm in the historic and cozy town of Salem, NY. The house consists of five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an impressive library, cozy living room with wood-burning stove and flat screen TV featuring Netflix, Hulu and Amazon and a wide selection of DVDs, cheery sun room with gorgeous views of the property, and a rec room with slate pool table, foosball table, table tennis, loads of board games, and a record player with collection of vintage records. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking and entertaining needs, and there is ample of space in the common areas to comfortably accommodate large groups.

Our beautiful backyard features an in-ground, heated, salt water swimming pool (open May to mid-October), deck with lounge seating and spa jacuzzi (jacuzzi is open year-round), dining table that seats 12, gas grill and a fire pit (also open year-round and we provide one bundle of complimentary wood). Whether you're hiking through the nearby hills, touring the barns to feed and play with our friendly animals, or walking to town to explore the local shops, your stay here will be one of a kind.

Our Farmstead is home to goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, a pony, pigs and barn cats, all who love attention. In the spring-fall, we also host cows who come to pasture and have their calves on the farm. We offer supervised tours of the barns so guests can feed and play with the animals. You can also collect fresh farm eggs in the chicken coop.

There are two ways to stay at BBFV - the Farmhouse (open year-round) and the Glampground (open Memorial Day Weekend through Columbus Day). Each can be rented by one group at a time and share the larger farmstead (fields, hiking trails, farm barns etc.). The Farmhouse, backyard with pool, jacuzzi, fire pit and the 5 acres of lawns it sits on are private to the group that rents the Farmhouse. The Glampground and pines that surround it are private to that group. The Farmhouse uses the upper driveway to enter/leave while the Glamground uses the lower driveway.

The Farmstead is conveniently located within a 35 minute drive to popular places such as Saratoga Springs and Lake George, NY and Bennington and Manchester, VT that boast lots of activities and things to do -- wineries, golf courses, spas, outlet shopping, horseback riding, lakes for boating, swimming and kayaking, laser tag, movies and more. We are less than an hour from Albany International Airport. In the winter, ski local New York mountains like Willard and West mountains that are under 20 minutes away, or drive 35 minutes into VT to beautiful Bromley. We are an hour from Stratton Mountain, the largest mountain in the area.

Our group was two families, 4 adults, 5 kids. Our kids had the best time at the farm. They loved waking up every day to run with the chickens and feed the animals. Sam and Vlad, who work the farm, were awesome and especially nice to the kids. The house was huge, and easily accommodated our group with extra room to spare. We were extremely happy With our vacation and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, peaceful family vacation.

The farmhouse was perfect for a family gathering! Indoors the house is warm and welcoming for adults and children alike. The pool, jacuzzi and surrounding deck were perfect for informal gatherings. The highlight, however, was being on a working farm! Our grandson loved the farm tour, and we send a special thanks to Sam for his understanding of children's curiosity. We hope to return!

Perfect for kids and adults. Kids loved the outdoor pool, the farm tour. The kids had fun riding their bikes on the farm and had fun on trampoline. The farm is close to Saratoga, Lake George, Manchester Vermont.

We had so much fun on our trip. The house had everything we needed and so much more. The farm was magical, the hot tub was restorative, the house was perfectly appointed, and the host was a dream to communicate with. We can't wait to stay again!

We had a three-generation family trip at the farm over Presidents' Day weekend. The house was warm, inviting, and well appointed. The kids loved the game room and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We skied at Bromley which is about 40 minutes away. Hosts were super responsive and friendly. We'd definitely come back!

This farmhouse did not disappoint! Gorgeous views, comfortable beds, and lots of things to keep all ages happy. Sarah the host and Ian were very attentive and kind. We especially enjoyed the farm tour with Ian where the kids collected fresh eggs for breakfast and fed the animals. We will definitely be coming back!
