À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

1000 acres de solitude + vue d'un million de dollars + séjour à la ferme des Appalaches

Willet Ponds Farm, LLC Ă  Todd, NC offre ... Plus qu'un endroit oĂč sĂ©journer: une expĂ©rience agricole des Appalaches. Le Willet Nest est l'une des deux grandes maisons que nous louons Ă  la ferme. DĂ©couvrez Ă©galement la vieille ferme pour voir celle qui vous convient le mieux.
Le Willet Nest est tout au sujet de la vue, et le cadre de montagne isolé qui est exactement ce que le médecin a ordonné d'appuyer sur votre bouton de réinitialisation. Vous reconnaßtrez immédiatement que cet endroit est spécial et que vous ne voudrez plus jamais le quitter! La maison moderne, perchée sur le flanc de la montagne, offre de belles vues depuis la maison et le pont ainsi qu'une escapade isolée et tranquille pour toute la famille. Tous les draps, serviettes, détergents et produits en papier sont fournis, ainsi que du bois pour le foyer.
Juste une autre cabane de montagne avec vue, tu crois? Non. Pour commencer, celui-ci est entourĂ© de plus de 1000 acres non dĂ©veloppĂ©es (y compris Elk Knob State Park), vous ĂȘtes donc vraiment isolĂ© dans la nature. Mais en bonus, vous obtenez la ferme ci-dessous, oĂč vous pouvez choisir d'interagir avec nos favoris des animaux de ferme: JosĂ©phine, le porc Ă  ventre en pot, Salomon l'Ăąne Ă  longues oreilles, un troupeau de chevaux, une abondance de volailles et notre chiens de berger trĂšs sympathiques. Regardez notre dĂ©licieuse vidĂ©o de la ferme pour voir toute la mĂ©nagerie en action et mieux comprendre ce qu'une visite pourrait signifier pour vous et la vĂŽtre.
Pour atteindre le Willet Nest, vous traverserez le cƓur de la ferme (ralentissez pour les poulets!), puis parcourez une allĂ©e d'un demi-mile en haut de la montagne Ă  travers une forĂȘt enchanteresse. De la maison, vous pouvez sortir par la porte d'entrĂ©e et emprunter le sentier en boucle de 5 km au-dessus de notre flanc de montagne privĂ©, offrant une vue imprenable sur 100 pieds. cascade cascade et de la vallĂ©e en contrebas. AprĂšs votre randonnĂ©e, profitez des smores autour du foyer (bois de chauffage fourni).

Lorsque vous ĂȘtes prĂȘt Ă  revenir Ă  la ferme, prĂ©voyez de nager ou de faire du bateau dans notre mini-lac et de pĂȘcher la truite pour mettre le dĂźner sur la table (cannes Ă  pĂȘche fournies, truite en stock vendue Ă  la livre). Vous pouvez nous rejoindre au moment du repas pour prendre soin de nos volailles et rĂ©colter des Ɠufs frais, si vous le souhaitez. Certains invitĂ©s choisissent mĂȘme de se joindre Ă  certaines des tĂąches de la ferme pour le plaisir, que ce soit pour ratisser des pommes de cheval dans la grange ou pour aider Ă  rĂ©colter nos dĂ©licieux rouges et dorĂ©s dans le verger de pommiers.

La maison Willet Nest est accompagnée d'un joli chalet de couchage de belle-mÚre, ce qui la rend idéale pour 2 couples ou parents avec des enfants plus ùgés qui penseraient qu'il est bien d'avoir une petite maison. Le chalet peut accueillir quatre personnes, ayant une salle de bains qui sépare 2 chambres semi-privées, une avec un lit queen-size réglable Serta, l'autre avec des lits superposés pour les plus jeunes. La maison peut également accueillir quatre personnes, avec une grande chambre avec un lit queen de luxe Nature's Rest et une salle de bains principale adjacente, ainsi qu'un futon pour un espace de lit supplémentaire dans le salon. Le salon et sa vue sont suffisamment grands pour que vous puissiez tous les partager, ainsi qu'une télévision (réseau parabolique) et un lecteur DVD pour une soirée cinéma.

La cuisine claire et aĂ©rĂ©e dispose de tous les appareils et ustensiles modernes dont vous pourriez avoir besoin sans vous Ă©loigner de la vue ou de la fĂȘte. La cuisine se double d'une salle Ă  manger, donc la nourriture n'a pas besoin de voyager loin. À moins que vous ne vouliez manger sur la terrasse ensoleillĂ©e qui entoure le chalet ou sur la table de pique-nique ombragĂ©e au rez-de-chaussĂ©e.

Willet Ponds Farm se trouve Ă  5 minutes du centre historique de Todd (le cĂ©lĂšbre magasin gĂ©nĂ©ral et de la boulangerie marchande) et de la pittoresque New River (tubing, canoĂ« / kayak / rafting, pĂȘche et baignade, sans parler de la facilitĂ© de faire du vĂ©lo le long de la riviĂšre), 15 minutes Ă  Elk Knob State Park, et Ă  seulement 20 minutes Ă  Boone ou West Jefferson. Depuis Boone, vous aurez facilement accĂšs aux pistes de ski, Ă  Tweetsie, aux magasins de Blowing Rock, Ă  Blue Ridge Parkway et Ă  Grandfather Mountain. Mais assurez-vous de prĂ©voir des temps d'arrĂȘt pour profiter de la profonde sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© des montagnes et de cette vue Ă  un million de dollars.

En plus de nos chevaux, chiens amicaux, poulets, dindes, canards, paons, porc Ă  ventre en pot, lapins, Ăąne (et quoi que ce soit d'autre, la maison de la drogue pour chats), nous vivons Ă©galement sur cette ferme de rĂȘve. Nous gĂ©rons personnellement nos maisons de location, en les rendant propres et confortables, dans l'espoir que vous sentirez que vous sĂ©journez dans une maison, pas dans une cabine de location gĂ©nĂ©rique. Nous veillons Ă  ce que vous ayez tout ce dont vous avez besoin, que ce soit une tasse de farine ou des Ɠufs fermiers fraĂźchement pondus.

Veuillez noter que nous ne sommes pas une écurie professionnelle. Nous serons heureux de vous aider à caresser et à interagir avec les chevaux, mais pour des raisons de temps et de sécurité, nous ne sommes pas en mesure d'offrir de l'équitation / du trail pour le moment .;

Si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Nous avons également fait de la place pour vous ici.

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.

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!

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.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the view from the "Nest", and interacting with the owners and the animals. Our 6-year-old loved feeding the animals, collecting eggs, petting the bunnies and even shoveling horse manure (not a requirement).

Fabulous vacation spot

We had an amazing time staying here! The house layout was perfect, with the little separate bedroom cabin, and the covered porch with wonderful view. I will note the bunk beds were so uncomfortable we couldn't use them but the pull out cot and futon couch worked well. The farm and farm animals were so wonderful and we appreciated the time the farmer took introducing us to them and letting our 8 yr old feed the animals and show us around. We loved the many hiking trails right out our door, and made use of the firepit a couple of nights. An excellent place to stay, especially with kids!

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.

Fun on the Farm

Our grandchildren loved seeing, feeding and interacting with Penelope, Josephine, and the Little Prince. Piper was such a sweet girl, and our overall favorite. The pond bottom was very mucky, the water was cold, and the animals had to be moved to swim there. My assessment is don’t overpromise on the swimming. The Nest was well equipped and roomy. The AC didn’t quite keep up in the kitchen and living room. One thing I noticed in the annex were some ants very near my side of the bed. Overall very accommodating hosts, interesting property and great fun down on the farm.

Perfect!

We LOVED this rental! I was lucky to get it because of a last-minute cancellation. The view is incredible from every window. We built a campfire and watched the sunset sky turn a dozen different colors before the stars showed up, bright and visible with no city lights around. The rushing creek/waterfall near the property was just a short walk & quite impressive! My favorite thing about the main house besides the view was the master bed, which was so comfortable, I went online to research the mattress to get one for myself (turns out it's pretty expensive, though). The kitchen was user-friendly for making breakfast and cookies. All the TVs had plenty of channels and wifi was solid, especially over at the guest cottage side. There was so much attention to detail all around the property and photo ops galore. We traveled back and forth to Boone every day of our trip, with no issues. Lowes Grocery is not far and we also ate at the Mexican restaurant in the same plaza as Lowe's, which was great. Only minutes from the house was the Todd Mercantile Bakery, with mouth-watering, fresh-baked pastries and cute gifts. On our final day we received a visit from "Turk", the Anatolian Shepherd dog that helps guard the farm animals. He acted as though he'd known us all his life and just accepted our love and affection (and leftover bacon!) happily. We met owner "Betty", a graceful and kind southern soul, and enjoyed every second with her as she showed us the collection of interesting animals at the barnyard on the way out. Betty knows a great deal about every species she keeps and we enjoyed hearing the stories. She is truly a lovely person to be around. Chronic complainers (the world is full of them!) would probably find fault with various small things, such as the guest cottage was slightly musty at first and the long driveway up to the cottage is steep and winding. None of that was an issue for my family. This was one of the few vrbo rentals where I definitely want to return again (usually I have a 'been there, done that" philosophy where I'm always ready to try the next place). If you get the opportunity to rent this one, take it! I knew it was special when our group ended up discussing how much each of us would love to retire there and just watch the seasons change from the top of the mountain!

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.

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!!!!

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Walton Conway

Image de profil de l’hîte
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.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

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.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

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!
