Mayhew Farms Cottage - Breathtaking Mt. Views Overlooking Pond & Horses

We loved our stay at Mayhew Farms cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, the farm was very quiet, and the view was beautiful!

This property at the base of Peaks of Otter has rolling hills all around for some breathtaking views. The cottage itself is nicely decorated with all the amenities our party of 5 needed. Beds and sofa were comfortable, lots of movies and puzzles, kitchen necessities stocked, it had everything we needed and then some. Although once you see the views you will not want to be inside.

The Mayhew family was very accommodating and they were more than willing to share tons of information and the history of the property which I found fascinating. Upon our arrival we were greeted with chocolate chip cookies, YUMMY! A bit later the family came over to introduce themselves and invited us to a children's Halloween party that evening that they were having in their 100 year old barn.

Noodle, their horse, was my 6 year old's daughter favorite, she still talks about him daily even though we have been gone over a week. The gold fish ponds between the two homes were my 3 year old's favorite place to go every chance he got. We also loved visiting with the dogs whom were very sweet.

Although it was a short trip, 3 days, my family will cherish this vacation for a lifetime. We are already planning our return trip for April 2019!

We enjoyed the stay & beautiful scenery, we tour the town, we drove up to Peaks of otter right up road from where we stayed, We could see the peaks from placed we stayed! We went into town visited the d day memorial, others shops, etc.

Bedford supports the troops in a most unusual way, all through downtown there are little flags hanging form the post with pictures of those who died on 'D day'. this town lost more soldiers per capita in the U.S. We went to the Liberty Restaurant to eat dinner 2 nights, again it was a great place to eat & it was the old station the troops left from to go to war. Sarah' place was exceptional, clean, cozy, everything you need.

HEY, Sarah thanks for the delicious chocolate chip cookies. THANKS ! We will return.

I cannot express how truly lovely this cottage is. It is immaculately kept. Everything was so well done. The view was great. It reminded me of my childhood. Ellie may ( the dog) was so sweet. It was just what we needed. Away from the hustle and bustle. A trip back in time to our childhoods. Thank you!

My family (2 adults, 2 children) very much enjoyed our stay at Mayhew Farms Cottage. The Cottage has all the amenities of home, with incredible views all around. We used it as a base to explore area attractions like Natural Bridge and the Virginia Safari Park. It was a great escape from the DC area.
