If you're looking for a farmhouse on a working farm...

....this is the place to be. The farmhouse itself was very clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the pool and movie room. It was fun walking around the property and interacting with the farm animals. We'd definitely stay here again.

Vacation to remember! We knew from the listing and reviews that we would be happy in this house, and we were! There were up to 10 of us, ages 30 to 80, related to each other by blood or by marriage, and we all agreed before we left that this was a vacation to remember. The house itself was as listed and better. Beds were comfortable, quilts were beautiful! Bathrooms were clean with two full baths upstairs and a half bath downstairs. Kitchen was large enough for cooks and hanging out at the same time. And each of the four common-area rooms plus the dinette meant we could gather in small groups or large or just find a quiet corner. The many and varied things to do and see in the area kept all of us entertained both in groups and singly, meeting back “home” to compare notes. Plenty of food options in the area as well as family cooked dinners at the house meant no one went hungry. And the nature lovers among us were happy to spend time at the house making friends with the farm animals and just enjoying the outdoors.We are so glad that this home has been made available through this venue for what seemed like a tailor-made experience for us all.

WONDERFUL GETAWAY!

The farmhouse was a great atmosphere for a family get away. The charm of farmhouse, lovely accommodations, amazing scenery, close to vineyards /breweries, fun time feeding the farm animals, fire pit and smores at night, and super friendly farm care takers. We will be back!!

Family Vacation

We all enjoyed our stay. We had 7 kids and 4 adults. The pool was great. The kids loved the animals. The rooms were large and well maintained. We all enjoyed the movie room. The kitchen had every kind of cooking and eating utensils and devices you could think of. Near by stores, eateries, wineries, breweries and caverns.

Fantastic Stay

Our stay at this farmhouse was just wonderful. So peaceful and relaxing and we had some of the most beautiful views. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, with the exception of no wifi (cellular service is terrible in the area if you’re on ATT or Verizon). The pool was refreshing as it was really hot there the week we stayed. Lastly the animals are super friendly. We enjoyed taking our 2 dogs for a walk every day and visiting the goats, pig and horse. Thank you Linda for being a wonderful host.

Quiet farm get-away

Our family had a great time at this cozy farmhouse. The house itself was more spacious than expected, and we were able to use the movie and music rooms as extra bedrooms (with air mattresses that we brought). There are 3 eating areas (the breakfast nook, the formal dining room, and the outdoor picnic deck). There is no WiFi at the house. The kids (and even the adults) loved interacting with all of the farm animals!

Workshop Turned Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at the farm house. The leaves were gorgeous and it was a very easy drive to Waynesboro for hubby who attended a weekend class and to Charlottesville for us to visit family. We enjoyed driving around Afton Mt and going into Nellysford for dinner and icecream at Black Bear. There were wineries, breweries and distilleries all around to enjoy. We enjoyed feeding the animals, walking the property, and farm-fresh eggs! We could tell it was a much loved house. No one wanted to leave and we wished we could stay longer. We hope to come back sometime in the summer and try out the pool and definitely for another fall trip. Thank you!

Farm House

We stayed here to celebrate our good friend who is getting married (there were 8 of us total)! Overall, we had a good experience! Pros: The house was clean and very spacious! There were several rooms that we did not even use. The house was well stocked with blankets, towels, pool towels, and silverware, dishwater, mugs, etc. There was a fire pit and lawn games (corn hole) that we used almost every night! The house is also very close to some local breweries, wineries, and hiking and about 30 minutes to downtown Charlottesville- great location! Cons: There was no wifi. We weren’t able to use the pool during our visit because of an algae issue, this is something that we were all looking forward to use as part of the amenities. An earlier review mentioned the algae issue, so it would have been nice to know that this was not resolved prior to us arriving. Also, there was a mouse in the house that we trapped in the downstairs bathroom on our last night. We understand there may be rodents due to the farm and animals but this is not something we wanted to see during our trip. I contacted the host due to these issues and am awaiting to hear a response to see if we are able to get any money back. Overall, we would definitely visit the area again but probably look for an alternate place to stay due to some of the issues that we personally experienced during our trip.

Blue Ridge visit

Stayed for three nights in a great setting. Easy access to local lakes, hikes, tubing and wineries/breweries. Great views from the house along with the added fun of the farm animals around the property. The house has everything you need, including a nice pool, yard games, deck, and fire pit. Access was easy, owners/caretakers were responsive to questions.

Wonderful Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and clean. The pictures online don’t depict just how large the house is…we were so impressed and awed. My daughter and her boyfriend really enjoyed the pool and used it daily. I enjoyed the kitchen with two ovens, multiple sinks and lots of counter space. The mud room/laundry room with its charming half door was an excellent place to put the dogs when we were away. They could watch the goings on outside from the door and we were assured they were not getting on the furniture. Everybody we encountered at the farm was extremely friendly…including the mules, horses and the very vocal rooster! The house itself is old and in need of some TLC-at times it felt like we were invading someone’s home with all the personal clutter inside. But nonetheless we had a relaxing and fun time. Thank you for the much needed vacation!
Our first view coming in and a “wow” moment.

Gorgeous Getaway--Some TLC Would Make It Perfect!

The setting is gorgeous and relaxing. We would wake up and sip hot chocolate on the deck, watching the deer graze in the meadow. The donkeys, goats, and pigs were a fun addition. The inside of the house was clean and had all the kitchen appliances necessary for our stay. However, the home is a bit dated and needs general repairs. A closet door in the entryway was hanging awkwardly. A panel on the outside of the kitchen counters was hanging by one nail. The upstairs hall toilet was a bit rocky. The bunk beds are not in a room of their own. They are actually in the hallway between the three upstairs bedrooms. Not a problem, just a heads up for those using the beds. Overall, the home fit our needs and was close to everything my family planned to do while visiting the area. The stunning scenery made the stay!

Great Place to Stay

The farm house was amazing! We enjoyed the country side and the quiet. It was a cozy place for our family reunion. There are some things that could be fixed or updated but overall the pros definitely outweigh the cons. The property manager was amazing and so accommodating. We would definitely stay again and look forward to it.

Great location near Nelson 151

We loved the location, and it's was fun to visit with the animals. Wish we were able to sample some of the chicken eggs. There is a bit of deferred maintenance, some water damage in the kitchen. Would also have been great if there was a hair dryer available, especially as the weather gets colder. All in all a fun stay at a farm with a great location.

A quiet escape near many activities

The farm is a perfect base camp for enjoying Nelson County and the 151 byway. It is quiet and peaceful but still super close if looking to enjoy hiking Humpback (can be seen from the property), enjoying the craft beer and wine trail, or enjoying the seasonal activities - an evening corn maze was a highlight. Kitchen has ample space to cook or set up a buffet of takeout from the roadside BBQ and weekend food trucks frequently found at the nearby breweries. And the season decor in the farmhouse adds ambiance to the great togetherness time the property inspires.
