About this property

Valley View Escape began as a vision to restore a 130+ year old farmhouse. Years after completion and enjoyed by friends and family, it was evident this treasured historical home needed to be shared and enjoyed by others. The house sits on a hill surrounded by a 500 acre farm and overlooks the valley while distant mountain ranges provide a serene backdrop. 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. You will find plenty of activity within 20 miles or you may find yourself perfectly content enjoying the captivating views from the front porch.

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!

Wonderful

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!
