About this property

Historic Old Farmhouse, the real thing! Family and Pet Friendly!

Welcome to the iconic Higgins House, a beautiful farmhouse nestled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy the mountain farm life and relax on 6 acres of property with a bubbling mountain stream. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and conveniently located between Sparta, NC and Galax, VA. Within easy driving distance of the New River Trail, Blue Ridge Music Center, Stone Mountain State Park, Doughton Park, and Mount Rogers National Recreation Area for lots of outdoor fun.

Construction of this historic house started prior to the civil war. The house is built upon a rock foundation with mortise and tenon logs and features interesting historic features such as hand planed interior boards, three chimneys with two wood burning fireplaces, two covered porches, and original hardwood floors. Outbuildings include a spring house previously used for refrigeration and a barn built over the nearby stream.

Though full of historic character, enjoy modern comforts including fully functional kitchen with dishwasher, claw footed soaking tub and shower in the large bathroom, air conditioning for warmer mountain days, and double filtered mountain spring water.

Excellent Weekend
We had a wedding not too far away and this was the perfect location for a few couples to use instead of the hotel that was both further away and more expensive. We would 100% stay again!

Nostalgic getaway
My husband has mobility and health issues that prevents him from traveling. I found this farm on VRBO 2hrs from our home on charlotte and a few miles from Galax where we lived in the 70's. It was a perfect few days for him to enjoy rocking on the big front porch, and "inspecting" the1600's farmhouse! Its a great place to stay and Sam a generous host!

2nd Stay
This was our second stay in the Farm House. The charm and character of the home are just wonderful. Nice modern appliances make food prep easy, and there is a nice gas grill if you want to cook out.

Awesome for Peace and Relaxation!
We loved, loved this property. The bathroom is off the charts - especially the claw foot tub!! We stayed 4 nights and highly recommend. We wanted to get away from the daily hubbub and relax, and this is definitely the spot for that. We plan on staying again :)

This place took me back to my great grandmothers house when I was a kid 50 yrs ago. If your used to or grew up around those types of homes you will love this place. The only thing I would warn about is that there is only 1 large bathroom, and while it is a good size including a claw foot tub, the door from the bathroom to the living room is a barn sliding door that does not close all the way for total privacy. It wasn't an issue for us but may be for some... The host is great, very responsive and we really had a great time there.

Wonderful Farmhouse
The home was just as advertized. It is a wonderful old farmhouse with all of the character you would expect. It reminded me of my grandparents home of which I have many fond memories. The modern appliances and convenience amenities were great, but the character of the house was the best part. My wfe and I had a very enjoyable stay. We will definitely stay again.
