The Granary at Owl Moon Farm is a charming family getaway nestled in the mountains just minutes from Lexington, Virginia. With its idyllic location on our historic 100 acre farm, our guest cottage provides a unique setting that is perfect for your visit to the scenic Shenandoah Valley. The Granary was originally constructed in the early 1900's and was operated for many years as part of a turn-of-the-century farm. It was completely renovated in 2007 to provide all of the modern comforts and conveniences of a mountain farm retreat, but with its exposed, hand-hewn beams, rough-sawn boards, and broad expanses of windows, it retains a unique and historic charm all its own.

House Rules
Rental Party may not exceed a maximum occupancy of seven (7) guests (four adults max) without prior written approval. Minimum age 25; renter is required to provide government-issued ID upon booking confirmation. We do NOT allow parties or large groups. Smoking on the farm is prohibited. This is a privately managed guest cottage 200 yards from our home, not a commercial rental property. Children are always welcome at Owl Moon Farm, but due to the unpredictable nature of farm animals, pets are not. It goes without saying that farms are potentially dangerous places - please keep your little ones under your close supervision at all times!
We look forward to having you as our guest!
Let the fields be joyful, and the forests rejoice before the LORD. Psalm 96:12-13
