"We are from right outside of DC so this was a few day getaway for us. It was just what we had been looking for and just as you would think. It is rustic on a large piece of land with a working farm, etc.. But at the same time there is a very nice, large, outdoor pool, picnic tables, outdoor games, trails for walking and nearby hiking. The farmhouse restaurant was nice dinner for us. We enjoyed the views and the local wine. One night we went to the DeCard Vineyard just down the road on one of the farm's former apple orchards - and that was just lovely. On our way back at just dusk, we had a show put on for us by all the local deer in the meadows. We stayed in the Itty Bitty room in the lodge - yes, it is rustic as it should be, a little musty and nothing fancy. But on the plus side, the AC in the room cranked and worked very well, the hot water worked well, and the TV worked well with a ton of stations available. There is a little deli / store just down the road from the property where we had awesome sandwiches, shakes, and any supplies we needed. Check the hours as it closes on the early side so you'll want to bring your own water, etc.. if you are arriving too late to stop by. We will go back for sure. If you are looking to get away, relax, get close to nature and enjoy the mountains and nearby trails, you will love this place. "

"Room was clean and spacious as was the bathroom. The ceiling fan worked well and even in summer heat it was very cool for sleeping. Just behind the lodge is a short hike to a gorgeous overlook. The food at the restaurant on site was delicious and all staff were friendly and competent. I'll return for sure!"

"Just like some other government property need to invest in repairs around the outside of the bldg."

"All of the staff were helpful and sweet! The pool was perfect on the hot day. The rooftop seating was relaxing to sit and unwind after a great dinner at the speak easy restaurant. Definitely worth the stay! "

"A little slice of tranquility. Cute little pool with a beautiful view of the blue ridge in the distance. Very friendly staff. Room was very clean and I slept so good in that bed. "

"It was PERFECT. I hesitated a lot because of the reviews but decided to stay because we were staying just for one night. We stayed in the room with two beds and it was renovated with nice bathroom tiles and modern mirror. There was a picture of the pool but no description of the pool as an amenity but I was presently surprised that pool is there and open from 9 am-10 pm. It was so beautiful and peaceful surrounded by mountains. There’s a vending machine and 24/7 coffee and tea in the lobby. Muffins and granola bars for breakfast. No roaches or bugs, everything was clean "

"My only real concern is that I can hear all conversations in the room next to mine. We are separated by a door. "

"Near to adjacent locations where we were traveling from and to. "

"We had a wonderful time. Beautiful views, cozy cottage, helpful staff and delicious food. Cannot wait until we can book a longer stay "
