FANTASTIC VRBO! Perfect Location, and Awesome Host

Loved the privacy of the stand alone cottage "down on the farm." Was perfect to get around the entire area and see all the sites. Everything was an easy drive, and downtown Staunton was like 5 minutes away for anything you needed from restaurants, Walmart, Historic Downtown with the shops, but you felt like you were in the quiet, peaceful country.Unit was adorable and well appointed with everything we needed, and was cleaned and taken care of well (especially considering how old the place is!)Our host was great! Met with us at check in and gave us the lay of the land and responded quickly to a couple text questions during our stay. We were able to feed some of the animals and loved every minute of our 4 night stay. Slept like babies!Highly Recommend this Property!

Farm stay

I personally prefer the sounds of the occasional animal to a car or person, so this was just what I was looking for and yet super close to Staunton. Katie was very responsive to a few questions I had and everything went smoothly. The perspective from the top of the property also provides a nice view of VA foothills. I would definitely stay here again.

Friend Getaway

This property was perfect for our needs. We loved saying hi to the animals, watching the sunset from the top of the hill, and exploring downtown. It was quiet, cozy, and had basic kitchen equipment to assist with meal preparation.
