This home was a perfect choice for our sisters weekend! The host, Lisa, was excellent with communication; both before, during, and after our stay. This home was beautiful & clean inside, with all of the amenities of your own home! Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, stocked kitchen, furniture that just hugged you after a day of travel. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Gorgeous horse farm with a relaxing, peaceful feel.

The stay was amazing. For being on a farm, the place is virtually spotless. Very clean. Super easy check in. The easiest check in ever. Lisa is a great host and you reallt feel welcomed. She knows a ton about each horse as well. The house was cool. You could easily communicate with each other anywhere in the house with a light yell but yet had enough space to relax. Theres no wifi and a tv. We didnt use it. We spent a ton of time walking around. Enjoying the kittens and horses. The river was cool addition but nothing compared to the animals. The drive up is gravel for a couple miles. I dont think its anything a civic or camry couldnt do. Was nothing for our 4x4. The only cons are that wifi and the road. Grattoes and Lisa's farm are perfect worth it. You dont need anything but nature and some animals. A perfecr getaway from the NoVA hustle and sounds. This is a perfect restart and refresh. Highly recommend

We had an amazing stay while visiting our daughter at JMU. Check-in and check out was a breeze. Our host Lisa was very responsive and an absolute pleasure. Lisa's horse farm was tucked away in the back of their property. It was quiet, cozy and the horses were so friendly. We walked to the river, it was beautiful! We stargazed and took pics of galaxies that are not viewable from Florida. Overall it was above 5 stars! We will be back. Thank you Lisa!!!!

Beautiful horse farm and pristine house

This was the perfect Memorial Day get-away with myself and my adult children and their SOs. As soon as they got out of the car, they were in awe of the horses and goats. House had all amenities needed with a large fire pit for nice bonfires. We visited a winery and hiked Hawksbill during our stay, but there is a lot more to do in the area, even though it seems as you’re secluded.. Definitely would recommend.
