Pete's Place: Forest retreat near wineries, Blue Ridge School, and Shenandoah NP

Secluded guest apartment on 160 acres of private land nestled on a mountainside overlooking a working cattle farm and Shenandoah National Park. Perfect for small gatherings of friends, winery weekends, or a family holiday. We are a 15 minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, an 8 minute drive from the Blue Ridge School, and minutes from the shops and restaurants of Stanardsville, VA and the award winning Monticello Wine Trail. Full kitchen and laundry amenities, an amazing view of the Blue Ridge mountains from the attached deck, and total privacy. Our family retreat for more than forty years is named after Dr. Frank "Pete" McMains, our grandfather, who built the farm complex. Pete donated 20% of his 50 year career as an orthopedic surgeon caring for severely disabled children pro bono at McMains Childrens' Developmental Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Let us share this magical place with your family (of origin or of choice)! PLEASE NOTE: the property can only be accessed by stairs and is NOT ADA accessible. NO PETS and NO SMOKING.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Just 3 nights

We took our 18 yr old here on a trip of Virginia and NC. This house was perfectly located for the hikes and tubing activities we wanted to do. Skyline drive was cool even though it was foggy and drizzling on and off all day. Into Charlottesville one day for tubing on Rivanna river. So glad we have the washer and dryer. Super clean and had extra things like kleenex, coffe and shampoo. Really felt like home.

Lovely cute home

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely country home in VA. We wanted to stay close to Shenandoah NP and it was a quick drive over. Any issues we had the property manager and owner were quick to respond. They’re very kind. The place was very clean and provided us with enough amenities for a long weekend.
