About this property
Farmhouse New! | Cows+Fire-Pit 12 ppl
Welcome to the Parker House! Rustically elegant, modern farmhouse set on 320 private acres in Faber, VA. With mountain views, heated pool, a fishing pond, and miles of trails and streams, this secluded retreat is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Inside, enjoy an extra-large sofa, spacious dining table, fully stocked kitchen, and 65" Sony TV with streaming services. Outside, gather around the fire pit, grill out on the Weber, or simply soak up the quiet beauty of the farm. Sonos speakers on every deck set the soundtrack for your stay.
Families, groups, and pet owners will feel right at home with thoughtful amenities, kid- and pet-friendly design, and plenty of space to spread out. Whether you’re planning a peaceful getaway, a family gathering, or a friends’ weekend in Virginia wine country, Parker House offers comfort, charm, and adventure all in one.
We love hosting special gatherings — weddings, reunions, and celebrations are welcome! However, due to short-term rental platform rules, event bookings must be made directly through Amazing Experience Properties.

About the host
Hosted by Randy Sklar
Halie and I love to travel with and without our five children to our homes and other places as far away as Italy, France, and all over the USA!
We are continually looking for new adventures and experiences!
We spend many weekends at our Mountain Home in Lovingston, VA. and as much time at our Beach Home in Siesta Key, FL.
When Halie and I started hosting at our mountain getaway home in 2015, we wanted to create the same enjoyable experience we get when visiting our homes - for our guests.
Through the process of asking for suggestions, make improvements, and learning from other experiences when we travel, we believe we are providing an enjoyable experience for our guests. The constant positive reviews and super host status tell us we are on the right track.
Our favorite part of hosting is reading our guest book and getting personal messages about how great their stay was at our homes. I feel we aren’t just hosting guests rather providing vacation experiences focused on creating lasting memories for you, your families and friends.
The greatest feeling is when a group comes back for a second, third or many more vacation experiences.
