About this property

Rusmar Farm: Equine Country Living 'n Powhatan, VA

Welcome to the one-of-a-kind Rusmar Farm in Powhatan, VA!

Immerse yourself in the beauty of country living where horses gracefully roam scenic fields, embodying the soul of our rustic haven. Our charming 150-year-old farmhouse is a perfect blend of equestrian elegance and rural serenity, offering stunning views of sun-kissed pastures and wooded areas adorned with majestic equines.

The farmhouse features three bedrooms, each flooded with natural light and offering unique views of the horses. The master bedroom boasts a queen bed and direct access to the full bathroom, while the other two bedrooms house a full-size bed and a twin bed. Two of these bedrooms feature ceiling fans for added comfort. All linens and towels are provided for your comfort.

This one-story antique farmhouse with a rich history is a unique retreat. The owners live on the property in a separate home, respecting your privacy while being available for a warm hello or assistance. Explore the adjacent antique shop for vintage gems during your stay.

Inside, cozy up by one of two propane fireplaces. For comfort, the home is heated with portable radiators in winter and cooled with window units in summer. Please note that there's no internet/Wi-Fi, but cell service is reliable, and you can use your hotspot if needed.

The owners are delighted to offer guided tours of the property, showcasing horses, trails, and even ATV rides (small donations are welcome!). Additionally, riding lessons are available for an extra fee of $50 (signing a waiver is required).

Please keep in mind that this is a working farm. You may spot the owners tending to the horses and the farm in the early mornings and late afternoons.

Unplug and unwind with board games or DVDs in the family room, as there's no cable or streaming services, or enjoy a game of cornhole outdoors.

The well-appointed kitchen, equipped with a gas stove, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, crock-pot (and more), leads to a dining area with a drop-leaf table. The full bathroom includes a sink, toilet, and tub/shower combo. For a unique experience, utilize the 2-seater Johnny outhouse with two toilets. Guests are welcome to use the all-in-one washer-dryer during their stay.

Read in the bay window, sip morning coffee on the patio, pony up with a "pony," and experience farm life at its finest. Book your unforgettable and unique stay at the Rusmar Farm today!

Guests have full access to the entire home. For an invitation to greet the horses, explore the farm, and shop at the antique store, please reach out to us in advance, and we will provide you with the owner's phone number to coordinate these experiences.

We are available via messenger, call, or text. Please do not hesitate to contact us anytime if you need anything throughout your stay.
