The Benedict Haid Farm has tried for years to secure reliable, fast internet for our guests. We are pleased to confirm that we now have seamless high speed internet at not only the Haid House, but now also at the Black Bear Lodge, the new Pine Grove Cabin and even in the barn for events there. All of the cabins are equipped with Smart TVs or Firesticks so every television can stream programs using the internet. We know that most of our guests do not come to the farm to watch television or search the internet, but people surely appreciate being able to check emails, catch up with work or otherwise use wi fi as needed. Now they will have that option in all of our cabins.

Available Weekends Update:

We have recently had two very desirable October, 2024 wedding weekends unexpectedly become available.
The weekends of October 19 and October 26 are now back on the “available” list and at a special price.
The popular “Standard Wedding Package” is $3700 and includes the Haid House, barn with seating for 132, and the 3 bedroom Black Bear Lodge.
But for either of these two dates in 2024 we can offer a $400 discount and you pay $3300 OR you can pay the normal rate of $3700 and also have the new Heart Pine Cabin at no extra cost. (It usually rents for $400 itself.) October dates are ordinarily the first ones to be selected each year, but here is a chance to have a country wedding this October with fall foliage at a nice discount.
Check out all we have to offer at www.benedicthaidfarm.com
Feel free to call the owner at (304)389-3900 to discuss. To schedule a tour, call the resident caretakers at (304)968-3775 or (304)941-2174 starting Tuesday.

Well, we finally have internet at the Benedict Haid Farm!
After years of trying every option and after an 18 month wait after sign-up, Starlink is up and running at the Haid House.
The large outside party deck and the inside rooms have good, reliable fast service.
We immediately placed an order for another dish and gear for the Black Bear Lodge, and this order was accepted without us having to wait.
The only delay now is the wait for the equipment to arrive.
So, very soon the Black Bear Lodge will also have internet.
Most of our guests do not go to the farm to surf the internet, but we realize that having contact with family and work is sometimes necessary.
So, we are very happy that we now can offer Wi-Fi at the farm.
Earlier this year we installed a commercial grade cell phone booster system, so now the Haid House is fully modernized and high tech for the convenience and pleasure of our guests.
We strive to make the Farm the very best place it can possibly be for weddings, reunions and vacation or weekend getaways.

The Fall colors & skies are beginning to paint the Farm.
