The wrap-around porch with captivating views are idyllic for coffee lovers, conversationalist, book lovers and perfect for a game of checkers. Inside you will find much of the home with original floors and walls. The original two staircases are still functional adding to the character and charm. Downstairs consist of master bedroom opening to a screened in porch, 1 ½ bathrooms, kitchen, dining area, and hallway with staircase, living area and additional dining area. Upstairs consist of bathroom, 2 bedrooms and 1 large room w/ 3 beds. Scattered throughout the property you will find quaint rustic buildings and old farm equipment adding to the historic theme along with the perfect setting for a campfire and smores.

Wonderful!
We absolutely loved staying here! The home is beautiful and spacious enough to fit our large family comfortably. The kids loved seeing the donkeys and especially loved the “moo moos”. The host was very responsive to our messages and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful house that met our needs
It was a wonderful weekend as our son was married at Dry Creek Chapel that Saturday night. We mainly only slept there, but it met our needs as a couple of my son's groomsmen stayed with us Friday night and a couple of family members from out of state stayed on Saturday night. I hope we can come back when we can stay longer and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

This was our second time staying at Valley View Escape. The kids were so excited to go back to “the Alabama house”, and were equally excited to find cinnamon rolls waiting again when we arrived. The house and property are beautiful, and I loved reading about the restoration process! We plan to stay again!

Family vacation to visit relatives
This was a beautiful property. It was exactly like the pictures showed. We had plenty of room for our entire family. We loved the cinnamon rolls and note from our hosts that were waiting for us when we arrived. The front porch view is stunning. My grandkids loved seeing the cows an donkeys. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Farmhouse Stay
My family and I had an awesome stay at the Valley View Escape Farmhouse. It was fully decorated for Christmas including a beautiful Christmas tree. The house is extremely spacious with more than enough beds and room for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We had a light snow our first night there and it was enjoyed by this Florida family. The temperatures outside were cold but it was warm and comfortable inside (central heat & air). We enjoyed many nights out by the fire cooking hotdogs and s'mores. One of the favorite activities for our family was interacting with the cows and donkeys. We loved feeding them sliced apples and carrots from our hands. A highlight of our stay was a baby calf being born just a short distance behind the house (we named him Smokey). The house is secluded with many acres to hike and explore. Most things needed like food, shopping and gas are just a short drive away. I can't imagine a better Christmas family vacation. We can't thank Belinda and the Barksdale's enough for the use of their farm. Belinda was a perfect host and was always available if we had a question. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation rental, then the Valley View Escape Farmhouse is the perfect choice.

This was a wonderful place for us to gather after having not been together for several years. Every detail was taken care of to make this the perfect place to have an early Christmas. We are so very grateful and we will return!!!

Our third visit and not last visit!
Our whole family absolutely loves this house. It is so beautiful and quiet, very peaceful. Kids loved the donkeys and other animals, lots of nature and woods around for them to explore. Very friendly hosts with good communication and delicious cinnamon rolls at arrival. Used the grill at the back of the house this time and the outdoor fire pit every night, great memories for the kids. Definitely will be back!
