   BOONE VACATION HOUSE RENTAL DESCRIPTION :
 
This century-old farmhouse offers an excellent venue for experiencing the Appalachian countryside. Tucked away on a dead-end road, nestled at the base of undeveloped Bald Mountain, the Old Farmhouse takes one back to a slower day, a simpler time. Generous decking ends in a covered porch from which unfolds the brilliant green valley.

Welcome to Willet Ponds Horse Farm. We offer a wonderful place to stage your mountain get-away, and much more. Interact with our farm animal favorites: Lucy the pot-bellied pig, Solomon the long-eared donkey, several horses and some very friendly dogs (voted best animals on the farm by many children!). A week in the country is worth a month in town. Treat yourself to the simple joys in life, and join us in feeding our flock of three dozen chickens, gathering eggs, and waking to the rooster’s crow. “This was the best week of my life,” said one 4-year-old guest, speaking for most of the children who have experienced our farm and fallen in love with the “Little House on the Prarie” style Old Farmhouse. Indeed, what we hear time and time again is that Willet Ponds is the perfect vacation spot for any animal lover or country romantic who needs a break from the suburbs or city.

This quaint, century-old farmhouse offers an excellent venue for experiencing the Appalachian countryside: fresh mountain air, babbling brooks, nature at your doorstep. Tucked away on a dead-end road, nestled at the base of undeveloped Bald Mountain adjoining Elk Knob State Park, the Old Farmhouse takes one back to a slower day, a simpler time. Generous decking wraps around three sides, ending in a covered porch from which unfolds the brilliant green valley and a pastoral scene that will keep you dreaming wistfully from the porch swing. Please contact us for more photos!
