About this property

Stay on Working Farm in Central VA Wine Region, 35 Minutes from UVA.

Woodhaven Farm is a working farm producing 100% grass-fed beef. Surrounded by rolling meadows and woodlands, the farm is quiet and wonderfully isolated yet close to many of the attractions that make Virginia a desirable place to visit.

The homes of three early American presidents, Jefferson, Monroe and Madison, are within an easy hour's drive.

The property was exactly as described. It was fully stocked with bedroom and bathroom linens. Kitchen had convenient small appliances and dishes. One thing to be aware of is noise travels VERY easily in the house. I coukd hear every word from the room above ne in normal conversation and one bedroon is above the dinig area and can hear everything on main floor. This will only impact you of you have a large group abd use every bedroom. Beautiful serene area. Very responsive hosts and loved the house!

Lovely getaway

We had an incredible time here and couldn’t believe how removed we felt from the hustle and bustle of our day to day. The views from this home of the expansiveness is this property were healing and much needed. We enjoyed our time with family, taking long walks, cooking together, and playing games. Diana was hospitable beyond our expectations, and the wifi connection kept up with my work meetings. We recommend this house for anyone wanting a getaway.

Peaceful, easy feeling

This VRBO experience felt like we were staying at a friend’s cottage. The host responded to the questions I had within a couple hours, the linens were divine and abundant, the beds were comfy, the kitchen had every gadget we needed, the cottage was cozy/ elegant, the fire pit- a must from cocktail hour and on into the night-such a tranquil setting, No glitches whatsoever!

This farmhouse has a 360 degree view of meadows and woodlands. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny weekend relaxing, hiking, cooking and reading. Woodhaven Farm is a gem. Fully equipped with everything you need although we never found the meat thermometer which I’m sure we overlooked. Great communication with the owners. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous secluded location

We had a group of four family members staying. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. We needed someplace we could have their two dogs. We all loved the property! People and dogs alike. The house is very nice, decor really perfect for the house and farm location. So well stocked with towels, kitchen needs, everything. The linens were so nice, beds comfortable, loads of good pillows. Bathrooms very nice. Water pressure in the showers not great, but certainly workable. As other people have noted, noise does carry throughout the house, but really didn’t bother us much. We did not notice any sulphur smell to the water as some have mentioned. Diana was a dream to work with, answering all my questions. It’s a short drive into Scottsville, but a bit of a hike into Charlottesville proper. Maybe 50-55 minutes. But that goes along with being on a beautiful farm. We would totally stay here again!

Thank you for the great review, Amy! We loved having you as our guest. Thanks for pointing out the fact that the sulphur smell is gone. I should've mentioned a while back that we installed a filtration system that totally eliminated the smell and trace minerals in the water. The water tastes great and is drinkable right out of the spigot!

Idyllic Setting!

This property is perfect for a small family get-together. Off the beaten path, but well worth the extra drive for spending time away. We relished our time together enjoying the beautiful scenery, talking, and cooking. Couldn't have enjoyed it more and the hosts were fantastic and helpful with local information!

Star-Studded Farm Stay

Secluded spot, yet close to Charlottesville. We enjoyed lounging at the pond, roasting marshmallows over the fire and stargazing in a dark sky unpolluted by city lights. Our hosts were gracious and generous with their property (allowing us to have an engagement photo shoot) and their farm fresh eggs! It’s only a scenic 35 minute drive past numerous vineyards to visit Monticello and UVA. Already talking about our next stay!

Idyllic Country Retreat

We had a wonderful stay over New Years. the weather was delightfully unseasonably warm and we were able to go traipsing over the fields and the through the woods with our doggos--who were absolutely shattered after a full weekend of play. It was so nice to be in nature with limited cell and Wi-Fi service. We spent time with board games and just chatting, a novelty in this day and age. The house was immaculate and wonderfully appointed. There was nothing we needed! We can't wait to come back.

Xmas down on the farm

Stayed a week at Woodland Farm outside Scottsville. Very nice house with all amenities you would want. Cellphone service and TV is spotty at best but had plenty of things to do. It is remote so 10-15 minutes to Market and 45-55 to Charlottesville but knew this going in. Not much in Scottsville over Christmas week. Want to relax, this is a nice option.
