Charming Farmhouse for a Family

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse! The perfect blend of history and modern comforts made it a truly special experience. The views were breathtaking, and we loved seeing the cows—it added such a charming touch. This home was the ideal retreat for our family. Everything was thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found this place and hope to return someday!

Polyface farm event

We have stayed in several nice Vrbo's in the Staunton area. This accommodation was exceptional and we hope to stay here again next summer. The location was exceptional and provided easy access to the interstate and also local attractions. Finally, we found the kitchen very functional and the house offered several places to rest and relax.

Perfect Retreat for our Family of 8!We stayed at Bud's Place over New Year's as a chance for our family to get away and enjoy each other's company after the busy Christmas season and before school started back up. The farmhouse was perfect - all the modern amenities we needed (great, well-stocked kitchen & bathrooms), comfy beds (3 queens & 1 twin-over-full bunk), and enough living space to relax in. We were worried the farmhouse might be drafty, but it was 17 degrees and blustery out, and we were snug & warm. The gas fireplace was a nice touch too! Definitely plan to visit the Razzbourne Farms & the Goatique right down the hill (owner Emily is great to talk with!), the 24/7 walk-in cheese & ice cream shop across the road at Mountain View Farm, and the Ridge Valley Alpaca farm about a mile away on Sterret Rd (owner Janice and John were fantastic!). This is a perfect farmhouse if you're looking for a chance to relax and unwind! Would 100% stay again!

Wonderful Weekend Get Away

Bud’s place was the perfect house for our weekend family get away to the mountains. It had a lot of room and the accommodations were excellent. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and sunset from the front porch and the kids enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. The house was very clean and we did not lack for anything in terms of towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. There was a welcome basket with wine and cheese and crackers and clear instructions for our stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Great home and location

We came to the area for the Chessie Trail Marathon, then decided we’d have to come back again just to stay in this beautiful home. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The notebook left for visitors was concise and well planned. The location was peaceful and the wide-open night sky was thrilling for those of us not used to dark skies. (Although we did not see the playground that was mentioned, our 5 and 11 year old kids loved the home and wanted to stay longer). It was a great place for all three generations of our family to stay.

Our stay could not have been better. We were welcomed with a hospitality basket on the kitchen table and clean, comfortable and and well stocked accommodations. We have such an appreciation for family history and loved the fact that this still felt like a family home. The front deck was the perfect place to enjoy the evening air and beautiful sunsets! The beds were very comfortable and we all left rested and relaxed! There is plenty of space for the family to enjoy being together or to spread out. We will definitely recommend Bud’s Place to our friends.

Graduation getaway

A great property! We came to attend a graduation at Washington and Lee. This property was far better to enjoy all events and celebrate with family. The house had everything we needed and we had room to spread out and be comfortable. Everything was clean and extra touches from the toiletries to welcome basket were super thoughtful and appreciated. We were worried we might be far out but we were close to University and shopping and had a fabulous week.
