7th stay for us, we obviously love it! View from front porch is the best. Feeding the donkeys and playing outside is the kids favorite activities. Delicious Cinnamon Rolls every year at check in are such a nice welcome. Highly recommended!

This property is located out in a county setting off the beaten path... with amazing views!!! It's an Old Farmhouse seated way off the road with cattle and donkeys roaming the fields... this home is a 130 years old with a beautiful wrapped around porch. We stayed with a Wedding Party! Great home with lots of history!

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.

Great Home for Relaxation

To me, the old fashioned feel of the house created a coziness that our family needed. Although all the modern conveniences are available, the seclusion of the property provided the respite from the fast paced modern world we all live in. It provides the framework for a very relaxing stay, no matter what you are looking for.

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!

Family Christmas

We had a great stay at the farm house, it brought our family together for a Christmas celebration since moms house is too small now. The kids loved the donkeys and roasting marshmallows in the firepit (roasting sticks in the house). The house was beautiful and nicely updated while maintaining all of its character.

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.

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!

Everything we needed!

The house is gorgeous! My two sisters and I had a relaxing few days just enjoying ourselves! This house had all we needed. We loved being in the country, however we did manage to do plenty of shopping! The house was clean and oh so charming, cupcakes awaited our arrival. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, beautiful vistas, cows, roosters, and horses, oh my! Beautiful, would do it again!

Stunning!

Words can't truly express how beautiful this property and its surroundings are. We honestly didn't want to leave, and indeed we extended our stay. This was the perfect getaway. The owners were wonderful, very responsive and accommodating of our requests to stay longer. The views were stunning and the house itself beautiful. There is a lovely vibe to the home itself and so many beautifully restored areas. We will absolutely be back here.

Absolutely beautiful historical home! I enjoyed reading the Open Bible, and how it was written and all the helpful info for learning. Loved sitting in the porch!!! (just wish the stray dogs did not come up on the porch…..perhaps, a gate across both steps onto porch would be helpful) The view in the valley to the mountain range and the sunrise and sunset…..WOW! God’s creation is absolutely beautiful!

Family Reunion

This property is amazing! We were welcomed with fresh eggs for breakfast and homemade cinnamon rolls from the Owners of the property. Peaceful, everything you expect to see at a farmhouse and more. From the beautifully decorated entrance and throughout the property such attention to detail . There were touches of fall throughout the home. The view was amazing and we loved watching the cattle and the donkeys. We were able to visit with extended family by enjoying s'mores out by the campfire. Absolutely room for everyone. We were in town for a family reunion nearby, so the location was perfect. We are already planning next years trip! Can't wait to go back!!!! Our hope is to stay longer. Once you are there you will definitely not want to leave.
