Life at the Dairy Farm
Coming to visit grandma? Prefer a rural spot to a hotel 30 mins away? Welcome to our home away from home. A modest 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with a great view of cows, and rolling green pastures abutting a working dairy farm. The home sits across from a gorgeous mountain view with a winding spring.
The house is located in the Cove. This is a mountainous region that doesn't get very good cell service. If you are from here, you will know what we mean. If you enjoy the outdoors, even just driving around the countryside, there is no more beautiful place. We have a covered back patio that can be enjoyed most times of the year and sitting areas on our porches for especially nice days.
Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 2.5 bathrooms
Free WiFi
16.4 miles (26.5 km) from Raystown Lake and 11.8 miles (19 km) from Martinsburg Library
Life at the Dairy Farm offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

As advertised: peace, quiet, beauty
My husband and I stayed at life on the dairy farm last week. We absolutely loved it!! If you're looking for a fast nightlife, busyness, and lots of amenities, this is not the place for you. But if you want a quiet place to get away, spend time outdoors, and just enjoy some rest, this is the absolute best place. The host was very responsive, no problems getting in contact when we had questions. The property was extremely clean, simply furnished and very comfortable. It was like being at home away from home. Our stay was very peaceful and restorative. A huge blessing!
Also found a few restaurants nearby that were excellent. We plan to go back next year.

Awesome farm setting out in country
We had an awesome stay here in a farm community setting. From pictures, we thought it was far off the road, but it is on a street, but far off the beaten path enough that it is quiet and very enjoyable. With 2 1/2 baths, we were able to get the family showered quickly. Sun room is relaxing and therapeutic with an incredible view of the cows that show up at various times, and my daughter LOVED feeding the cats that show up daily on the porch as the “welcoming committee.” Comfortable house. Desk for working if needed. We’ll stocked kitchen for whatever you want to use. TV with various channels and WiFi for Internet use. Will book here again definitely!

This trip was the most amazing, tranquil, enjoyable experience staying on a dairy farm and spending time with the cows and kitties on the property! It was exactly what I needed for a get away from work and time visiting my 89 year old father 30 minutes away! I would love to come back!!

Great Place to Getaway From it All
From the second I walked into this wonderful property, I knew that I was going to have a restful and worry-free one week stay. The home has everything you could possibly want or need and is very roomy.
The land behind the home is cordoned off by an electric wire behind where there is a corn field and grass that you’ll see a herd of cows occasionally grazing. On my last day, two of the cows got past the wiring. I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for the fact that one of the cows was actually grazing right in front of my bedroom window! I went to the backyard concerned that the cows might wander on to the main road. One of the cows came close to me and started licking my hand! Then suddenly like clockwork, the two cows and the rest of their herd ran back uphill. That moment, and feeding the barn cats, were true highlights.
Grocery stores are a 15-20 minute drive north or south, as are restaurants and fast food chains. If you have any questions or concerns, Angie is a quick text or a phone call away.
I already miss staying at the property and I hope to return again soon. Highly recommended!

Perfect
What a gem! This place was perfect for our stay. Within minutes to state game lands. Town was a short drive for anything we needed. Seeing the cows right out back was very cool and walled right up next to them without issue. My son stuck his hand out and one cow licked him! The board games provided in the house were a very nice amenity as we had a blast playing a few of them. Will definitely be staying here again if plans allow. Also communication with the owner was second to none. Provided all of the information we needed and was available if needed, which we did not, because the house had everything listed and then some. Thank you!

Lovely quaint stay
The best part of this home was the sunroom, from which you can watch cows grazing in the adjacent property. You can also get within petting distance of the friendly cows. It was really picturesque and quaint. Everything was clean. River tubing an hour away. A diner within ten minutes and dinner restaurants within 20 minutes. 10/10.

5-Star Host and Property
We can't say enough about this lovely home and host. Communication with, and instructions from, the host were superb. The property was super-clean, well-marked, and well-stocked. There were games and puzzles for our kiddos. Our son wanted to know if we could buy the house and all its contents! :-)
If you are looking to get away and relax with your family at a quiet venue, you don't need to look further than this.

Great Birthday weekend stay
I spent a weekend to celebrate with my significant other - the location was great, it feels distinctly peaceful - but you aren't too far away from anything if you needed (or in my case forgot) to bring something - There's a Dollar General a few minutes away and Bedford/Altoona/Roaring Spring are a short drive if needed.
The joy of the dairy farm house though is that you really don't want to leave - it was a perfect spot to enjoy the day in the sun room, and binge an entire season of a show at night.
The master suite was amazing - as was the bathroom connected to it. Honestly, if we could have stayed longer - we certainly would have.

Country living
We enjoyed watching the cows out of the windows of the screened in porch.
Perfect place for this mother of the groom with peaceful countryside scenery. Sites and sounds of nature surrounded us. Friendly neighbors. The entire layout of the place was perfect for my elderly parents. Spacious, comfortable, and so very clean and well maintained property. Lovely decor with all the comforts of home. Felt like home away from home. Fabulous place to stay. We plan on coming back for future visits.

Great place to getaway!
What a wonderful place to stay! The house was perfect. - clean and comfortable with everything we needed.
We enjoyed watching the cows from the back porch at night and in the mornings and appreciated the peace of being in the country at the end of the day to unwind. The neighbors were lovely (be sure to buy fresh flowers from the little girl's stand next door).
We were a bit concerned about being remote, but there is a Dollar General and Subway within a few miles and it's not far to either route 30 south or over the mountain to route 99/220 (just on windy roads). Yellow Creek is very close for those who like fly fishing.
Angie was wonderful to work with and very responsive.
