Always a wonderful stay!
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.

Family Christmas
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!

What a wonderful property
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.

Charming Farmhouse
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

Girlfriend Annual Tubing Trip
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The location was idea, only 5 miles from downtown Sparta. The farmhouse was furnished with all kitchen necessities. We enjoyed the lovely wrap-around porch every morning/evening. The beds were very comfy, not too soft or firm, just perfect for a good nights sleep. The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. She even provided us with a cast iron skillet when we inquired about one.
Hope we get a chance to come again!!

Beautiful, well-maintained farmhouse with plenty of room
Charming old farmhouse with plenty of large bedrooms and welcoming common spaces, perfect for a family getaway. Super mix of the old and new -- many beautiful old/antique furniture pieces, cozy fireplaces in kitchen and living room, but also new, comfortable beds, an updated shower, TV's in living room and bedrooms and Wi-Fi/Internet. Add in the wonderful, attentive owner/hosts - it felt like staying with family. Couldn't ask for more!

Farmhouse Bald Knob Pleasures
We enjoyed the beautiful Farmhouse and found that it was also a convenient location. We have friends in Sparta and other friends came up to enjoy a "friends gathering." Everyone loved the Farmhouse and it was perfect for our needs.
It was a pleasure to meet Clara upon checking in. We enjoyed learning some of the history of the Farmhouse and area from her. We recommend the Farmhouse and hopefully have started a tradition to visit especially for the fall foliage peeping.
