Вопрос к живущим в языковой среде.
Подскажите, пожалуйста, какое слово из всего множества (http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?CL=1&s=�������&l1=1) наиболее адекватно подойдет для обозначения усадьбы (агроусадьбы?), куда возят туристов для проживания, так сказать, в аутентичной народной среде: банька, блины, танцы под гармошку итп.
Что-то внутри мне подсказывает, что farmyard - это скорее скотный двор, а country-seat - наоборот, скорее помещичье имение. Хотя все это и многое другое тоже называется усадьбой...

estate

Or country-estate, or you can call it a "rustic cottage", widely used word to mean a bit of an older style feel to the cottage.
I think you will need to explain it in detail, as there is no one word to encompass what you need. I have heard the word "grange" for something like that, but it was a bit more archaic and had furniture still in place from the 1800s, almost like a mini-museum.

agree The Misha : That's what I'd call it too. A manor is basically just a house, albeit a big one, and homestead, well, I wouldn't want any damn tourists on MY homestead :)

Thanks Misha! It's a bit hard to fine one all-encompassing term, but I think estate is at least a good equvalent for усадьба
agree Judith Hehir : This is what came to my mind also.

homestead

Here's an example of something similar in the United States--a vacation in an old-fashioned farmhouse where guests can observe and experience Amish life:

Thank you.
disagree The Misha : Usadba is resoundingly NOT a farm even though it may have some farming going on it. It is primarily a residence with surrounding land, more often than not owned by a noble or a wealthy person.

The context about a common countryside "в аутентичной народной среде: банька, блины, танцы под гармошку итп.". Just let's see.

tourist farm

in the wake of agrotourism a number of farmsteads have been adapted to so called Tourist farms where the visitors are served traditional rural meals and may stay overnight, have become very popular. #

Friendly hosts on tourist farms serve tasty, home-cooked food and drink. Relax in the company of open, friendly people and unspoilt nature, and just be yourself
Peer comment(s):

disagree The Misha : I could not find a single example of this being used in an authentic English-speaking source. Plus, as I explained above, usadba is not a farm.
2 hrs
no examples for Anglophone sources ??? usadba in the present context is more of a form than you imagine, in any case more than an estate can ever be. Just have a look at entries on agritourism or farm tourism and the farmer as rural entrepreneur in UK ,
