We’ve stayed at the Bald Knob Farmhouse many times and love it every time. It’s so peaceful and homey and we enjoy just hanging out and spending some quiet time there. Clara is wonderful to work with and we hope to continue visiting many more times in the future.
My family of 6 had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! There was plenty of room for all of us. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. If we are back in town at another time we would love to stay there again!
We’ve rented quite a few vacation rentals and this one is pretty much at the top. It was such a great location and the porch is amazing. The house is so well appointed and you can tell it is well loved. We would rent this again for sure. Thank you so much Clara. We had so much fun.
We stayed in the property in September 2024 and the house is a charming farmhouse that is very spacious.
The property owners were extremely kind and stopped in to check in on us during our stay. They are truly good people and we appreciate their thoughtfulness.
The owners were wonderful to work with. The house was so cute and cozy. Loved sitting out on the front porch and watching the deer and turkeys in the field. Definitely would stay here again!
Two of my adult children and spouses stayed as part of my Christmas gift. Beautiful home, amenities, location. They were so happy and cozy in this 150 year old, thoroughly upfitted farmhouse. The owner was most excellent with communication, making sure everyone had what they needed for a great Christmas! Thank you!
This is a marvelous property to get a from everything. A quiet setting perfect for relaxation.
Friendly, accommodating property owners who made everything easy.

Beautiful Farmhouse!
Just what we were looking for. Private with gorgeous views, convenient to town, plenty of room and was very well equipped with everything we needed. Will definitely be staying here again.
We enjoyed the quiet and peaceful getaway. The house was clean, spacious, and beautiful. The owners were great to work with and answered any questions we had.
We had a great time. The home and grounds are beautiful and give you a nostalgic longing for days gone by. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay. The strawberry rhubarb jam was delicious. Sorry we didn’t get to leave Wendell the whistling whistle pig any jam. 😉
This home is so beautiful and the host ensures you are taken care. The antiques and old restored home is like stepping back in time with all of the modern amenities.
We loved the farmhouse, it was very clean and very neat We loved all the antiques, we met the owners while we were there, very nice couple. We discussed house and family history. Very peaceful place to stay..
This was the second time my family has stayed here. We thoroughly enjoyed it again. It’s a charming old but well maintained farmhouse with a comfortable wrap-around porch in a quiet, remote location. The main street of the small town of Sparta is about 15 minutes away. Highly recommend
We genuinely enjoyed our stay at the Bald Knob Farmhouse! The house was so lovely and the property is peaceful and serene. Clara was so attentive and caring... such a joy to speak with! We will definitely come back to visit in the future!
This house was perfect for our family trip. It was just as listed and perfect. We got to spend time with family and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with my Aunt and Uncle that live in Glade Valley. We will rent this house again.

Lovely House!
I was very happy staying at The Bald Knob Farm House. The amount of charm and history in the house is overwhelming in the best way! The owners were sweet and made the house very welcoming (including some delicious apple butter). My group had a lot of fun on this trip and staying in this house!
Loved the farmhouse! Such a beautiful and peaceful place to unwind. Loved the porch and all the beautiful flowers. Clara was a wonderful host and always there if you needed anything.

Awesome old farmhouse
Great old farmhouse in a fantastic location. The only downside for me was one shower for the 4 bedrooms but all else was great... The owners were friendly and gracious. Check it out if you are in the area.....
