About this property

Restored 18th century farmhouse on 4.6 private acres within 180-acre Farmstead

Beautifully restored country farmhouse, originally built in 1795. The house sits on 4.6 private acres within an expansive, 180-acre working farm in the historic and cozy town of Salem, NY. The house consists of five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an impressive library, cozy living room with wood-burning stove and flat screen TV featuring Netflix, Hulu and Amazon and a wide selection of DVDs, cheery sun room with gorgeous views of the property, and a rec room with slate pool table, foosball table, table tennis, loads of board games, and a record player with collection of vintage records. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking and entertaining needs, and there is ample of space in the common areas to comfortably accommodate large groups.

Our beautiful backyard features an in-ground, heated, salt water swimming pool (open May to mid-October), deck with lounge seating and spa jacuzzi (jacuzzi is open year-round), dining table that seats 12, gas grill and a fire pit (also open year-round and we provide one bundle of complimentary wood). Whether you're hiking through the nearby hills, touring the barns to feed and play with our friendly animals, or walking to town to explore the local shops, your stay here will be one of a kind.

Our Farmstead is home to goats, chickens, horses, donkeys, a pony, pigs and barn cats, all who love attention. In the spring-fall, we also host cows who come to pasture and have their calves on the farm. We offer supervised tours of the barns so guests can feed and play with the animals. You can also collect fresh farm eggs in the chicken coop.

There are two ways to stay at BBFV - the Farmhouse (open year-round) and the Glampground (open Memorial Day Weekend through Columbus Day). Each can be rented by one group at a time and share the larger farmstead (fields, hiking trails, farm barns etc.). The Farmhouse, backyard with pool, jacuzzi, fire pit and the 5 acres of lawns it sits on are private to the group that rents the Farmhouse. The Glampground and pines that surround it are private to that group. The Farmhouse uses the upper driveway to enter/leave while the Glamground uses the lower driveway.

The Farmstead is conveniently located within a 35 minute drive to popular places such as Saratoga Springs and Lake George, NY and Bennington and Manchester, VT that boast lots of activities and things to do -- wineries, golf courses, spas, outlet shopping, horseback riding, lakes for boating, swimming and kayaking, laser tag, movies and more. We are less than an hour from Albany International Airport. In the winter, ski local New York mountains like Willard and West mountains that are under 20 minutes away, or drive 35 minutes into VT to beautiful Bromley. We are an hour from Stratton Mountain, the largest mountain in the area.

Awesome!
The property was just as advertised -- a beautiful old farmhouse with plenty of room to stretch out and to gather and socialize. We spent Christmas week here and were delighted to have snow -- and happily used the sleds that come with the house. The large, well equipped kitchen allowed several cooks at the same time; the lovely sun room and living rooms were favorite gathering spots; and there were plenty of bedrooms for all! The farm animals were a wonderful bonus!! The owner and farm staff could not have been more responsive and accomodating!

Perfect for kids and adults. Kids loved the outdoor pool, the farm tour. The kids had fun riding their bikes on the farm and had fun on trampoline. The farm is close to Saratoga, Lake George, Manchester Vermont.

Wonderful family stay!
The farmhouse was perfect for a family gathering! Indoors the house is warm and welcoming for adults and children alike. The pool, jacuzzi and surrounding deck were perfect for informal gatherings. The highlight, however, was being on a working farm! Our grandson loved the farm tour, and we send a special thanks to Sam for his understanding of children's curiosity. We hope to return!

Awesome Vacation
Our group was two families, 4 adults, 5 kids. Our kids had the best time at the farm. They loved waking up every day to run with the chickens and feed the animals. Sam and Vlad, who work the farm, were awesome and especially nice to the kids. The house was huge, and easily accommodated our group with extra room to spare. We were extremely happy With our vacation and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, peaceful family vacation.

This farmhouse did not disappoint! Gorgeous views, comfortable beds, and lots of things to keep all ages happy. Sarah the host and Ian were very attentive and kind.

A wonderful getaway
We had a three-generation family trip at the farm over Presidents' Day weekend. The house was warm, inviting, and well appointed. The kids loved the game room and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We skied at Bromley which is about 40 minutes away. Hosts were super responsive and friendly. We'd definitely come back!

Perfect Getaway
We loved staying at BBVF. It allowed us to safely take a vacation and enjoy the peacefulness of the land all at once. The hosts were amazing and provided a farm tour and fresh eggs. Sunsets from the hot tub were breathtaking and there was more than enough room for our party of 11 (including 4 couples). Can’t wait until we get to go back. Highly recommend!

Winter Family Trip
We stayed recently at the farm house and had an amazing time. There were 12 of us and we fit perfectly in the house. One of the best parts was being able to sit at the huge table and ALL of us eat our meal together! Our animal tour was awesome and the kids loved it. The hot tub and firepit were wonderful. We had such a great time and plan to go back in the summer!! Cant wait!

Wonderful Stay
This was our family’s first time to stay at farmstead and we absolutely loved it. We found the house clean, quiet, and comfortable. Everything you could want was available. The kids had a blast swimming in the pool, taking walks on the property, visiting the animals, playing with the kittens, and stargazing at night. Thank you so much for providing our family with lifelong memories that we will cherish forever.

We couldn't have asked for a better rental property. We had everything we needed and more. Krista, the farm manager was great and answered every question promptly. The house was beautifully updated and the outside was where we spent most of our time, was breathtaking. The children loved the animals especially the three kittens. We hope to return again!

Do not miss your chance to stay here!
If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with a small group, do not miss out on your chance to stay here! Sarah and her family were amazing hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed from day 1! The kids loved our farm tour and roaming chicken, swam in the pool every day and made sure to play every board game in the huge closet! They especially loved the "hidden" room full of toys and books! Would 1000% stay here again! (Can't miss out on the fresh eggs to make a delicious breakfast every morning too.)

This lovely farmstead exceeded all of our expectations!

We had such a great time at the Blind Buck Farm house. Totally unique property, with both the serenity of a farm, and the comforts of a modern home. Our kids loved playing in the pool and visiting the farm animals. There is an amazing secret playroom in the house, which your little ones are sure to love.

Loved our stay!
We had the absolute best time at Blind Buck Valley Farmstead! The farm animals were such a fun addition to our vacation and the tour was amazing. The home was very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor patio and pool are were our favorites. The only call out I have for families of young children is that the doors don’t close from the hallway and noise travels in the house quite a bit. This made for a few challenging naps for us.

Perfect place to get away
We were in desperate need of a break and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place than Blind Buck. Sarah and her team took care of everything and were responsive from the minute we inquired about the property. The grounds are beautiful, the house is stocked with stuff to keep everyone occupied, the pool is awesome, and the animals are the happiest, friendliest animals you could imagine. The house is also close enough to town that you can walk/run there or bike there which we did several times with and without children. We will definitely be back when we can explore more!
