Lovers Lane FarmStay on a working family farm. Horses, cows, sheep, bees & more
Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly place. Come enjoy this interactive and engaging experience of life on the farm including the sights, and sounds of farm life. This space offers a cozy and warm environment with many wonderful amenities. While at the farm, you can pet and feed the variety of farm animals, fish at the pond, enjoy some great farm games and catch a glimpse of nature. Explore our family garden at your leisure. Our farm has many different things to keep you busy whether it is fishing in our small pond or helping out with the family's daily farm chores. This is a working family farm with goats, geese, horses, chickens, lambs, ducks, bees, cows, ducks, quail, rabbits, guinea fowl, cats, and dogs. At any given time we have some kind of fur baby whether it is bunnies, puppies, lambs, kids, or chicks. Learn to take care of baby chicks or milk a cow. Taste the sweetest honey while one of our farm kids guide and teach you the joys of farm life. Or just relax on a hammock and enjoy the night-time sounds. Solo, couples, or families are welcomed along with pets on a leash.
We run a full-time halal pastured-raised farm business. Wake to the sounds of the roosters crowing and eat dinner while enjoying a picturesque view of the farm animals grazing in the pasture behind the home. Cozy up to the woodstove fireplace with a book from over 100+ homesteading/farming books on the bookshelf. Enjoy farm fresh eggs for breakfast, visit and feed the animals ( farm tours available on request).
This is an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). It is attached to the host's home but has a separate private entrance, separate living space that includes a kitchenette, bathroom, and deck. Very similar to an in-law studio.
This is your home away from home! We're thrilled to host you and want to ensure you have a comfortable and memorable stay. This is your sanctuary for rest and relaxation, complete with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. To make your experience as seamless as possible, here's a guide to the spaces you can access during your visit:
YOUR PRIVATE SPACE
Deck: The deck leads to the entrance of the unit and overlooks the backyard and farm. There is an outdoor table (seating for 4), chairs, and umbrella.
Sleeping space: Queen size bed, outfitted with fresh linens, and ample storage for your belongings that includes 2 bedside tables, and a wardrobe closet. Iron and ironing board are included. There is a sofa, and a rollaway twin cot. This room can comfortably sleep 4 people (queen bed, sofa, and twin cot).
Living Space: A comfortable sofa, with a small coffee table facing a wardrobe that sits a large flat screen tv. Free Wifi is available. Bookshelf with plenty of homestead/farming reading material. A seasonal wood burning stove.
Kitchenette: This kitchenette has a mini refrigerator/freezer, countertop that doubles as an eating space, coffee maker, toaster-oven, 2-burner hot-plate, cutting board, cookware, dishes, utensils, 4 stools, paper towels, hand soap, and a trash basket. You will find coffee, creamer, and sugar to get you started in the morning.

SHARED SPACE
Backyard: Fire-pit, several grills and picnic tables. A large playground, Ninja obstacle course, trampoline, seesaw, kids picnic table, a hammock, and swinging bench.
Small Garden: Directly in back of the home is a small garden space with strawberries and herbs. We ask that you not pick any of the fruits/vegetables without prior consent, but you are welcome to hang out at your leisure.
Farm: This is the fenced-in area down the hill which includes the barn and all fenced animal areas. You are welcome to explore the large garden. If you would like to interact with the farm animals or enter an animal enclosure, it must be done in the presence of one of the farm helpers to ensure all gates are properly closed and locked.
Full disclosure: Although the farm is peaceful most of the time it is a farm complete with the sound of crowing, quacking, braying, and mooing. Sometimes there are geese honking, a dog barking and goat nays. All of the farm animals include the smell of the farm if the wind is blowing right. All of the farm animals are friendly and non-threatening, but there is one sassy goose to keep an eye out for. Bring boots for visiting the animals, especially in the winter months when the grass is dead and it is rainy. Please note that this is a farm in the country, and there is always the possibility of encountering critters like bugs, spiders, lizards, etc.
My family lives on the premises so we are here in case of an emergency.

Quiet Friendly Farm
We all really appreciated how friendly Apryl was, and she was incredibly accommodating. It is a working farm, so we got to watch her family work and even had some animal interactions. I will say that this property , while very comfy, may be best for 2 people, but we enjoyed the property and it served its purpose. GREAT water pressure and very soft towels. Tgabk you, Apryl!!

Fantastic experience
The first thing that amazed us was being greeted by Apryl upon our arrival & little chit chat about the place. We had no issue finding the house. The room was very nice & clean. Everything were there for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the walkthrough of the farm area. A microwave in the room will be much appreciated.

We enjoyed our driving trip around the wine country in Virginia. This property was clean and met our expectations for a “farm stay”.
