Om boendet

1000 tunnland ensamhet + utsikt över miljoner dollar + Appalachian Farm Stay

Willet Ponds Farm, LLC i Todd, NC erbjuder ... Mer Àn ett stÀlle att bo pÄ: en Appalachian gÄrdupplevelse. Willet Nest Àr ett av tvÄ fantastiska hus vi hyr pÄ gÄrden. Kolla ocksÄ in Old Farmhouse för att se vilka som passar dig bÀst.
Willet Nest handlar om vyn och den avskilda bergen som Àr exakt vad doktorn bestÀllde att trycka pÄ din ÄterstÀllningsknapp. Du kommer omedelbart att kÀnna igen att den hÀr platsen Àr speciell och att du inte vill lÀmna - nÄgonsin! Det moderna huset ligger pÄ sidan av berget och erbjuder vacker utsikt frÄn huset och dÀcket samt en avskild och lugn tillflyktsort för hela familjen. Alla sÀngklÀder, handdukar, tvÀttmedel och pappersprodukter tillhandahÄlls, samt trÀ för eldstaden.
Bara en annan fjÀllstuga med utsikt, tror du? Nej. Till att börja med Àr den hÀr omgiven av 1000+ outvecklade tunnland (inklusive Elk Knob State Park) sÄ att du verkligen Àr avskild i naturen. Men som en bonus fÄr du gÄrden nedan, dÀr du kan vÀlja att interagera med vÄra favoritfamiljer pÄ husdjur: Josephine, potten-magen grisen, Solomon, den lÄngörda Äsnan, en flock av hÀstar, ett överflöd av fjÀderfÀ och vÄr mycket vÀnliga herdehundar. Se vÄr underbara bondgÄrdsvideo för att se hela menageriet i aktion och för att bÀttre förstÄ vad ett besök kan betyda för dig och ditt.
För att nÄ Willet Nest kommer du att köra rakt igenom gÄrdens hjÀrta (sakta ner för kycklingarna!), resa sedan en halv mil uppfart uppför berget genom en förtrollande skog. FrÄn huset kan du gÄ ut genom ytterdörren och pÄ 3-milsslingan över vÄr privata bergssida, med fantastisk utsikt över en 100 fot. vattenfallskaskad och dalen nedanför. Efter din vandring kan du njuta av smores runt eldstaden (medföljande ved).

NÀr du Àr redo att komma tillbaka till gÄrden, planera att simma eller Äka bÄt i vÄr minysjö och fiska efter öring för att lÀgga middag pÄ bordet (fiskestavar tillhandahÄllna, lagerföring som sÀljs av pundet). Du kan gÄ med oss vid utfodringstiden för att ta hand om vÄrt fjÀderfÀ och samla fÀrska Àgg, om du vill. Vissa gÀster vÀljer till och med att delta i nÄgra av gÄrdens sysslor för skojs skull, vare sig det skakar upp hÀstÀpplen i ladan eller hjÀlper till att skörda vÄrt röda och gyllene lÀckra i Àppelodlingen.

Willet Nest-huset kommer tillsammans med en söt svÀrmor sovande stuga, vilket gör det idealiskt för 2 par eller förÀldrar med Àldre barn som tycker att det var snyggt att ha ett eget litet hus. Stugan rymmer fyra, har ett badrum som separerar 2 semi-privata sovrum, ett med en lyxig Serta-justerbar drottningssÀng, den andra med tvÄ vÄningssÀngar för de yngre barnen. Huset rymmer ocksÄ fyra, med ett stort sovrum med en lyxig naturen Rest queen size-sÀng och angrÀnsande master badrum, plus en futon för ytterligare sÀngplats i vardagsrummet. Vardagsrummet och dess utsikt Àr tillrÀckligt stora för att ni kan dela, plus det finns en tv (disknÀtverk) och en DVD-spelare för filmkvÀll.

Det ljusa luftiga köket har alla moderna apparater och redskap du kan önska dig utan att ta dig bort frÄn utsikten eller festen. Köket fungerar som en matsal, sÄ maten behöver inte resa lÄngt. Om du inte bryr dig om att Àta ute pÄ soldÀcket som sveper runt stugan - eller vid det skuggade grillnÀra picknickbordet pÄ bottenvÄningen.

Willet Ponds Farm ligger 5 minuter frÄn den historiska Todd (den berömda butiken och merkantilbageriet) och den natursköna New River (slang, kanot / kajak / forsrÀnning, fiske och bad, för att inte tala om enkel cykeltur lÀngs floden), 15 minuter till Elk Knob State Park och bara 20 minuter till antingen Boone eller West Jefferson. FrÄn Boone har du enkel tillgÄng till skidbackarna, Tweetsie, shopping i Blowing Rock, Blue Ridge Parkway och Grandfather Mountain. Men var noga med att schemalÀgga i en viss tid för att bara njuta av den djupa lugnet i bergen och den miljoner dollarvyn.

Förutom vÄra hÀstar, vÀnliga hundar, kycklingar, kalkoner, ankor, pÄfÄglar, kalltÀckande gris, kaniner, Äsna (och vad som helst annat kattdroghemmet), lever vi ocksÄ pÄ detta, vÄr drömgÄrd. Vi personligen hanterar vÄra hyrhus och gör dem rena och bekvÀma i hopp om att du kommer att kÀnna att du bor i ett hem, inte en generisk hyra. Vi ser till att du har allt du behöver, vare sig det Àr en kopp mjöl eller fÀrskt Àgg med fritt sortiment.

Observera att vi inte Àr en professionell ridstall. Vi hjÀlper dig gÀrna med att husdjur och interagera med hÀstar, men pÄ grund av tid och sÀkerhetshÀnsyn kan vi inte erbjuda ridning / spÄr för nÀrvarande .;

Om du har nÄgra frÄgor, tveka inte att kontakta oss. Vi har ocksÄ gjort plats för dig hÀr.

Willet Ponds Farm was a wonderful place to stay. We stayed in the Willet Nest property which was perfect for our stay. Hubby and I stayed in the main house and our 17 year old daughter loved her own space in the bunk house/small cabin. Walton who runs the farm was great with communicating when animal feedings would happen. We had a blast interacting with the chickens, donkeys, horses and bunnies. If you are looking for a peaceful, beautiful getaway this is your spot. We did not use the sauna, but saw it, would love to do that had it been colder. I would love to come back for another visit anytime.

Western North Carolina Trip 2025

We can’t say enough about this property and our stay. The cabin was perfect for us and the 3 kids of different ages to have personal space. The property is incredible. We hiked the waterfall trail, visited the berry patch and swam in the fishing hole. The view was the perfect way to end each day. Mr. Walton was so great with the kids in teaching them the proper way to work with the farm animals and how to ride a horse. This place is a whole experience and we will definitely look to visit again and stay longer next time.

Wonderful farm in NC

Not only was the vista from the front window stunning, but the farm at the bottom of the mountain was a source of entertainment. Our kids were mesmerized by the baby rabbits in particular. The firefly show each night was fantastic and the location was solitary yet close to some great hikes and tubing opportunities. Thanks so much to the host for being so accommodating!

Birthday weekend on the farm

My family and I stayed at Willet Nest for a long weekend. Walton is a kind host and he was great with the kids, answering questions and teaching them new skills. Our 4 year old was minimally interested in chores, but there was a little playhouse by the barn that he really enjoyed. We also went for a walk around the Faerie Village with Piper (the collie) while the older ones and my husband learned to build a holzhausen. Feeding the animals and collecting eggs was the definite highlight.The listing is extremely informative so there is no mystery. The house is just the coolest. 4 of us stayed in the main house which was clean, bright and has all the creature comforts. 2 of us stayed in the second house which has a bathroom, bunk beds and a full-sized bed and is attached by a gorgeous walkway with views of the mountains that are absolutely unreal.The road up to the house is one lane and gravel. We took our minivan up that steep, windy hill and we were successful, but an SUV would do better.We were sad to leave. We are already planning to return in the Fall.

Like No Other

Our family loves the Willet Nest! This is our second time staying here and just as great as the first. The views are really hard to beat and the quiet, seclusion is just want we wanted. There is always enough to do around the property and on the farm to keep everyone entertained while unwinding at the end of the day under the stars and by a fire. And we had the bonus of a bit of snow this time!

Wonderful Experience

Walton is an amazing host, we arrived as guests and left as family. The cottage was perfect: super clean, cozy, and had all the supplies we needed. We couldn't ask for better mountain views from the living room picture window. We had planned for many sightseeing destinations around Boone but there was so much to do and see around the farm there was no reason to leave the property! The scavenger hunt was a fun touch and the kids had a blast exploring the trails as well as getting to know all the farm animals. Our only negative was having to leave and are already planning our next visit.

The Escape We Needed

My family's only negative remark about our trip to the Willet Nest was that it was too short. We needed to get away and disconnect for a few days and this property was perfect. Though we only stayed for a few days, our time there was met with plenty of relaxing evenings by a camp fire, the most gorgeous sunrises we've ever seen right from the front porch, hikes around the amazing property, and time genuinely having a great time together and connecting as a family.

Lovely mountain retreat

We enjoyed this property so much! The owners are the sweetest people. We were able to come down in the mornings and help feed their animals. Walton was very patient with my kids, and treated them very kindly. The property itself was clean and well kept up. The views of the mountains were the best you’ll get and from almost every window. My kids loved the separate living quarters. They felt like they had their own privacy. The cabinet sell felt very, very private. We were not ready to leave and plan on making a return trip this summer! Thanks for everything Walton and Betty!

Everything we Hoped for and so Much More

Our family truly feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit Willet's Pond Farm. We stayed in the Willet's Nest. The view is a million dollar view. The property is so peaceful we could actually hear the leaves falling. Our kids loved being able to help on the farm in the mornings. The property is close enough to numerous daytime excursions and grocery stores. Your first climb up the driveway can be a little daunting but I promise the beauty of the climb is worth every bit. The home was clean and adequately supplied. We look forward to returning for another visit!

Beautiful secluded location!

This property offered something for everyone to appreciate. The peacefulness, the views, being secluded... it was so wonderful! We had our 3 daughters with us who are 3, 7, and 18 years old. You're far enough away from everything to enjoy the countryside, yet close enough to enjoy what the local cities/towns have to offer. The property was very clean!!! We do not wear shoes inside at home, and were so pleased that we didn't feel the need to here because the floors/carpet were very well maintained. The "guest house" was perfect for our oldest girls to feel like they were on their own little vacation. We didn't feel the need to lock up anything and it was such a free feeling. The low clouds over the mountains in the morning are just gorgeous, and the air is so fresh. The property owners are wonderful and offer the opportunity to interact with their farm animals. All 3 of our girls LOVED that. We will definitely be booking again and have shared the property information with our friends!!!!

Great private get away weekend

My husband and I enjoyed this secluded spot for our anniversary weekend. The morning views on the high porch were the best we have seen and it really is high up the mountain and secluded. An all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle is really a must to get up the drive. We walked the property and trails, relaxed and drove to both Boone and West Jefferson on different days for lunch. The kitchen is fully equipped so we ate in for most of our meals. The farm fresh eggs were a great treat. The only negative we found was the fishing was not really what we expected. But all in all it was a great vacation.

Om vÀrden

Walton Conway Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Walton and Betty Conway realized a dream together when they established Willet Ponds Farm in 2005. While Walton grew up in the city dreaming of life in the country and desperately wanting a horse, Betty grew up in the High Country on a small family farm, where her dad kept horses, chickens, rabbits, beagles, goats, and whatever else he took a fancy to. She couldn't ever remember not having a horse to ride, or a bored moment. Though she sold her horse when she was 16 to buy a car, and drove off to Florida, Texas, then Canada, the mountains and country living always had a pull on her. Finally, she gave in and returned to the place that was dearest to her heart so as to give her children the mountain roots and country upbringing that meant so much to her. In 2023 Betty succumbed to cancer, living to the end in the beautiful, peaceful mountains, surrounded by her farm critters great and small. Walton remains thrilled to be able to share their dream with vacationers who would like to sample country life. While caring for horses, pasture, heirloom apple trees and berry bushes, Walton keeps his focus on the farm's most important crop: the next generation.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

Years ago, back in the 1940’s, the farm got started by brothers Robey and Noah Greer, who together farmed the whole valley with their wives Etta and Lula. The Old Farmhouse belonged to Betty’s great uncle Robey, while Noah built the Pioneer House just a little bit further up the hollow. They made a living raising sheep and cattle, running a saw mill, trapping, bee keeping, wild crafting, and doing whatever else they could to live off their land. Though it left the family and changed hands a number of times, and got divided up over the years, the heart of the farm was still intact and up for sale when we found ourselves looking for the perfect place to settle down, pasture our horses, and raise our children. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to bring the place back into the family, and continue on a tradition and lifestyle that Betty’s family has known for many generations. In 2003 we bought what portion we could of Robey’s half of the farm, and over the course of a couple years were able to build a new farmhouse, then turn the Old Farmhouse into a guest house/vacation rental. There is a wonderful spirit to the place; I suppose that is why everyone falls in love with it and is so eager to return at the next opportunity.
The farm history took a surprising turn in 2013. Noah’s son, Barton, had lived in the run-down Pioneer House up until his death in 2004, at which time Noah’s half of the farm, still intact, fell to Barton’s daughter, Della. Her husband saw big dollar signs in this windfall, and began to turn the farm into—gasp!!--a housing development. During the development process, the economy went bust and he went bankrupt. Our prayers were answered when the large portion of Noah’s farm adjoining our tract was offered for sale in 2013; we jumped at the opportunity to save the old farm and bring the Greer brothers’ farm back together. In 2015 we recovered another 30-acre tract which featured the Willet Nest, the house up high, giving us 3 guest houses.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

To leave the sounds of the city behind, and soak up the peaceful serenity of the country seasons, is a balm for the soul. The hard work of never-ending farm management is so very much offset by the beauty of the quiet valley that the chores are a pleasure. They are the antidote to sitting in front of a screen from 9 to 5, or listening to newscasts reminding one of the crises of the times. This valley is a refuge offering peace, healing and renewal. The farm animals not only entertain us, but surround us with a connection to beauty and primitive life that heals us as well. It is said that there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of man. To be near and to touch these amazing beasts is therapeutic and transformative. Come experience that! Children respond to the positive energy of the animals and thrill to be part of something real, something alive. There is magic and wonder in connecting to the earth that is hard to find at Disney Land or amusement parks, and that must be why children beg their parents to bring them back to the farm. Their enthusiasm and your patronage inspires us to keep up this year-round never-ending commitment. We look forward to and count as precious the days we don't have to go anywhere, the days we can spend all day working, playing, and relaxing in our little slice of heaven here at Willet Ponds Farm. Come join us!
