excellent property, better than advertised.

This is an excellent place to stay. it was very neat, clean and comfortable. But one of the nicest things about it were all the little extras the host has made available. like snacks and a large array of toiletries etc. Seems like little things but to someone who traveled a lot in his career the " the little things mean a lot" when you are away from home.

Merry Christmas at Farmstead

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The house was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The house was equipped with everything we needed plus lots of unexpected extras. The house has a lot of history, and we enjoyed learning about it from our friendly hosts. Great location to explore the area. We can't wait to return!

The place was extremely clean, would not know that any pets have ever stayed here. Billie and John were great. We loved sitting by at the fire pit in the evenings and the grill was great to cookout on. I loved seeing the cows. We will definitely stay again.

Great place, great hosts!

We arrived during the time of Hurricane Helene. our hosts Billie and John went out of their way to notify us that there was no power. They even waited for us to arrive due to the dark roads. They checked in with us daily to make sure we were ok as all cell and internet was out for the week following the storm. They were very welcoming of ourselves and our dogs!

Above and beyond our expectations

First off, I have never stayed in a cleaner rental than Billie and John's Farmstead. They make you feel so welcoming with all the little extras they add. Our whole stay there just had that warm relaxing feel. The fenced in area for our dog was a great addition to our stay. He even felt at home! And Billie and John are just the sweetest couple. We will definitely be back to visit. If you're visiting this area, this is the one!

Quite renovated farm house-Welcoming hosts

My adult son and I stayed at Farmstead. The house was newly renovated. Property was well maintained and the house was spotless. The owners stopped by to make sure we had what we needed but did not intrude on our stay. They were very welcoming. I would highly recommend this property if you want a clean, reasonably priced, quiet house to stay in. It was only a 5 minute drive to downtown Elizabethon.

This was a lovely property. My family enjoyed front porch sitting and having dinners together at the large dining table. We also enjoyed the back yard dining space, large yard for the kids to run it, and Bon fire for Smores. The host were excellent and we enjoyed meeting both of them. Snacks, coffee and tea were appreciated. Excellent location, home is in country setting, yet close to town.
