Blue Ridge visit

Stayed for three nights in a great setting. Easy access to local lakes, hikes, tubing and wineries/breweries. Great views from the house along with the added fun of the farm animals around the property. The house has everything you need, including a nice pool, yard games, deck, and fire pit. Access was easy, owners/caretakers were responsive to questions.

If you're looking for a farmhouse on a working farm...

....this is the place to be. The farmhouse itself was very clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the pool and movie room. It was fun walking around the property and interacting with the farm animals. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great Place to Stay

The farm house was amazing! We enjoyed the country side and the quiet. It was a cozy place for our family reunion. There are some things that could be fixed or updated but overall the pros definitely outweigh the cons. The property manager was amazing and so accommodating. We would definitely stay again and look forward to it.

WONDERFUL GETAWAY!

The farmhouse was a great atmosphere for a family get away. The charm of farmhouse, lovely accommodations, amazing scenery, close to vineyards /breweries, fun time feeding the farm animals, fire pit and smores at night, and super friendly farm care takers. We will be back!!

Wonderful Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and clean. The pictures online don’t depict just how large the house is…we were so impressed and awed. My daughter and her boyfriend really enjoyed the pool and used it daily. I enjoyed the kitchen with two ovens, multiple sinks and lots of counter space. The mud room/laundry room with its charming half door was an excellent place to put the dogs when we were away. They could watch the goings on outside from the door and we were assured they were not getting on the furniture. Everybody we encountered at the farm was extremely friendly…including the mules, horses and the very vocal rooster! The house itself is old and in need of some TLC-at times it felt like we were invading someone’s home with all the personal clutter inside. But nonetheless we had a relaxing and fun time. Thank you for the much needed vacation!
Our first view coming in and a “wow” moment.

Great location near Nelson 151

We loved the location, and it's was fun to visit with the animals. Wish we were able to sample some of the chicken eggs. There is a bit of deferred maintenance, some water damage in the kitchen. Would also have been great if there was a hair dryer available, especially as the weather gets colder. All in all a fun stay at a farm with a great location.

Comfortable and homey

This farm house is like taking a step back in time. The animals were friendly and fun to feed. The beds were comfortable. The only hiccup was we needed a blender and couldn't find one anywhere. I would stay here again. Great house and property.

A quiet escape near many activities

The farm is a perfect base camp for enjoying Nelson County and the 151 byway. It is quiet and peaceful but still super close if looking to enjoy hiking Humpback (can be seen from the property), enjoying the craft beer and wine trail, or enjoying the seasonal activities - an evening corn maze was a highlight. Kitchen has ample space to cook or set up a buffet of takeout from the roadside BBQ and weekend food trucks frequently found at the nearby breweries. And the season decor in the farmhouse adds ambiance to the great togetherness time the property inspires.

Wedding Stay

We ended up having 7 guests stay for my daughter's wedding at Valley Road Vineyards. We had a great time at the Farmhouse and it had wonderful amenities. Bedrooms were great as well as the kitchen and living area downstairs. We enjoyed the piano.
