What a gem. We stayed here to attend a wedding at Barn at Edgewood. It was an easy commute there and back several times a day. Two families of 4 fit comfortably with plenty of room. Farm house is clean and adorable, views and grounds are post card worthy. Our host Oliver the puppy came to visit several times and our teens were in love with him. We will be back to refill our soul here again.

We were in for a friend's wedding and this place was a perfect place to stay. The property is beautiful and just a short drive to Shenandoah National Park were we did some awesome hikes. The house had everything we needed. Rooms were nice and big, bathrooms were very nice, and great kitchen. Had breakfast each morning in the dining room with a large window looking out over the beautiful scenery! Found some nice restaurants nearby as well. Highly recommend this place!!!

Beautiful Farm Retreat

We rented the guest house for a long weekend exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The farm was bucolic, and the views from this home are gorgeous. The host communicated nicely throughout our stay. Great stay!!!

Adorable farmhouse stay

The location and views of this farmhouse were incredible. We stayed here for a wedding at early mountain vineyard which was a short 15 minute ride down the road. Everything was as listed and had everything we needed for our short weekend. The owners also left a dozen eggs from their farm in the fridge for our arrival which was a thoughtful touch.

Charming, cozy and peaceful.

We loved staying here while in town with family for a wedding. The home was set on a beautiful farm with lovely landscaping and views. We enjoyed the big dining room which featured a huge window overlooking the property. We appreciated the comfortable, clean linens on the beds well as ample, fresh towels. There was plenty of space to spread out an hang with our family. It is an old home which has its quirkiness but also lots of charm. Thanks for the hospitality. We may be back when we return to Virginia.

Awesome Girls Trip!

This is an AMAZING property! The house is beautiful and very well stocked! The beds were so comfortable and we all raved about them! Getting up in the morning, we enjoyed having coffee on the porch and listing to the cows speak to each other. This is a very special piece of property and to have all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were amazing! We had such a wonderful time and look forward to staying again in the future!!
