About this property

Farmhouse on one acre of land in a quiet, rural area including adjacent crop fields in cultivation since early 1800s. Located off US 441 and just down the street from the Dillard House Restaurant. The original homebuilders married in 1880, secured a portion of family land in 1881 as an inheritance, then finished the house by 1882.
Boxwoods line the front entry atop an original stone wall and along the other borders as they have remained for many decades (thus the street name Boxwood Terrace).

Whole house vacation rental with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, full kitchen, 2 sitting/activity rooms, and 2 fireplaces.

Our sleeping arrangements are 8 permanent, while we have high-quality airbeds with full linens that will accommodate larger parties up to 15. Look for the Large Group Add-On when you search us online by our name. We can provide the extra details that make the experience great for the entire (small) crowd.

Our creative layout and details can make our home just as great as a single escape, a romantic getaway for two, a group of friends, or a large family--and we have happy guests with great reviews in all these sizes to prove it! We are new to vrbo but have managed successful stays and events here since 2019 (find us online by name for reviews, creative add-ons, and more options).

More than 600 square feet of porches with swings, rockers and spectacular views oriented to sunrises on double-decker back porches and sunsets on front porch.

Outdoor picnic table, firepit, and level yard for special events and outdoor activities.

Strict policies of no pets and no smoking (of any kind) so that family health and the historic features are protected for everyone visiting.

Farmhouse Christmas

Charming historic country farmhouse tucked in the mountains. Start your day with the best cup of coffee and beautiful sunrise views over the mountains (coffee bar selection provided with yummy local coffee's). And end by one of the cozy indoor fireplaces or fire pit. New renovation but still the original farmhouse charm. Large kitchen, island and farmhouse table for lots of family to gather around. Endless sitting areas, porches and porch swings to read, relax or play games. Minutes away from Clayton and Dillard with lots of shops and restaurants to choose from. All the locals were friendly and gracious much like the owners. Also close to many mountain hikes, waterfalls, wineries, coffee shops and antique stores.

Marvelous Place

I would like to thank Todd and his wife for our beautiful stay. The place is amazing and they had it all decorated for Christmas. There was a Christmas tree in ever room. My great granddaughter said we were staying in Santa’s house. Everything was clean and they had cookies and fresh flowers waiting for us. I definitely recommend this place.

Why they chose this property

Farmhouse on Boxwood continues a tradition that started 140 years ago, when an orphaned teen married and had the creative idea to welcome guests into her newly built home to supplement family income during a drought. Many decades of guests and famous meals followed. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this renovated home and property provide an indescribable getaway experience.
