Country Farmhouse Getaway

My friend and I loved our stay at the Vance home! We felt so safe and comfortable all weekend. The peace of the country is something city girls need every now and then and this place had it! Coffee in the morning on the porch was the best. We couldn't have been happier with our stay.

Thanks Nancy & Robin for hosting!

Our extended family stayed at Nancy & Robin Vance's farm home while we visited Highland County for a wedding. What a stroke of luck to find their place with a vacancy for our dates! Their home is beautifully restored, immaculately kept, and a real working farm. The grandsons enjoyed helping with the chores (feeding chickens, cows, horses, and collecting eggs) and we all enjoyed learning about the history of the area, as well as the Vance family history on that land. Robin was a pleasure to talk with as he generously shared his time and knowledge. I would highly recommend a stay at the Vance Country Farmhouse Getaway!

We enjoyed our stay very much - the peaceful surroundings, breath of fresh air, farm animals, and cosy house. The house is tastefully decorated and well maintained. The Vance family takes pride in their family history which is brought to life through photographs and antique furnishings.

We are grateful to Robin for showing us around the farm, how to milk cows, and raise chickens. Our daughter really enjoyed collecting (and counting) the eggs. We took long walks and jogs along the surrounding country roads. A dip one evening in the cold water of the stream nearby was super experience!

A suggestion which might help to improve the traveler experience: leave some space in cupboards and drawers, in the bedrooms and the kitchen, for guests to store their belongings. All in all, a great experience for a family with kids.

Hi Nancy and Robin,

It was such an amazing experience to spend the long weekend at your place.

I hoped the kids would enjoy the farm experience, and Robin has just made it so way more than we expected. They loves all the animals, especially chicks and Yoda (very friendly cat), saying that their dream job is now a farmer!

We also appreciate how well the house is maintained and impressed with your family story which is well expressed with well-renovated house and lots of antique furniture. We are honored to be witness of your family story and be a part of house history.

Anyway, thank you very much for everything, including the delicious cake you gave us on the table. Although we are leaving US for Japan, we wish to come back to your house sometime in the future. I wish all the best for you.

We loved every minute of our visit! Robin and Nancy are wonderful, thoughtful, and friendly hosts. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored and updated while retaining much of the original character and woodwork! The interior decor is a delightful blend of original and modern farmhouse that is very welcoming. We loved seeing the photos of past generations and reading about the family in the Welcome Binder which gives you a real sense of connection with past and present.

The kids (and adults) were thrilled to be able to gather eggs, milk cows, feed horses, and even see the birth of a baby calf which they named Belle. Nancy and Robin even gave us the eggs gathered and fresh milk after arriving and before leaving! Both were superb!

The one thing the Farmhouse does not have is cell service/internet connection. This was a blessing in disguise!! It allowed us to disconnect from constant interruptions, enjoy the surroundings. and each others company.

We gained not only a sense of peace and calm, but new friends in Nancy and Robin and loved every conversation with them! The kids are already asking to return and we most certainly will be back!!
