About this property

Historic home outside of Charlottesville, close to Shenandoah

The Monroe House at Mulberry Springs is a historic two-story Colonial residence (c. 1750's) situated in a picturesque complex of barns, guest cottages, and outbuildings on 15.4 rolling acres. The perfect getaway for a family or pair of couples.

Mulberry Spring Farm dates back to Colonial Virginia. The Mainhouse is a “two over two” style farmhouse built on hand-hewn heart pine beams over a dry-laid foundation. The house was slated for demolition in the 1950's. Fortunately, a retired military couple who appreciated its significance, bought it and lovingly invested in major restorations. Two subsequent owners continued the restoration process both to the house and property. Numerous fruit trees were planted and a local stonemason was hired to rebuild the rock foundations and the 200-year old stone walls.

Mulberry Spring is a charming, unique home located in a mountainside neighborhood.

The layout of the house is spacious and comfortable. The first floor consists of a living room, dining room, library/TV room, fully equipped eat-in kitchen, laundry room, and full bath with a shower. There are two staircases to access the second floor. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and one full bath with a claw-foot tub with a hand-held shower head. For safety and structural reasons guest are not permitted to walk out onto the porch upstairs. Attics are also off limits.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Birthday weekend with the family.

We had a wonderful time. The house was spacious enough for 7 of us and the grounds were very beautiful, especially with so many plants in bloom. We visited Monticello and Charlottesville.

Amazing relaxation

This place was incredible! The house , it’s history, and it’s beautiful natural setting!! We relaxed in the morning watching birds and bumblebees from the front porch rocking chairs! The front porch provided us with peace and serenity we haven’t felt in a few years. Do yourself a favor and book a few extra days with nothing planned to just enjoy the porch and the land. We cannot wait to go back!!

Charming Rustic Farmhouse

This is a comfortable old farmhouse that has the structural characteristics of an old house, such as distinct rooms (not an open floor plan) and settling (back stairs were not level). The house had a wonderfully large front porch and the star gazing was amazing as there is no light pollution on the property. The formal living room and dining room are quite large, but there is a smaller den with a TV and seating for 5 and a dining table off the kitchen that seats 5-6 comfortably. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Home Tucked Away

What a gorgeous setting for this home stay. It has a huge yard in both the front and back, a large porch to sit on and much more. It is close to towns if you want to go, but we rarely ventured out.

Beautiful home on beautiful property!

We were in the area for our son’s graduation from UVA. Reasonable distance from Charlottesville, and we were able to comfortably get the family under one roof. Gorgeous historic home, but with all the amenities. We loved our stay.

It was well equipped and a charming property

The house was off the main roads, but that was exactly what we wanted: a place to relax and reconnect with each other, yet close enough to make easy day trips. We went to Monticello; Montpelier; Charlottesville; a vineyard; a brewery. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds comfortable. The setting is lovely and we enjoyed taking a walk through the fields. All four of us were delighted that we chose this property.

Beautiful house on a beautiful property

This lovely farmhouse was just perfect! It had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need for preparing our meals (we couldn't find the crock pot, but not a big deal). We enjoyed relaxing on the big front porch in the evenings. The owners were right there if they were needed. Monticello was just a short and beautiful drive from the house. With all the great wineries, restaurants and shopping close-by, there was nothing else we needed.

Mulberry Springs

Very nice large house, well kept and clean. BUT-- house is 40 minutes from Charlottesville and 25-30 minutes from Stanardsville, and on a dirt road. Once we discovered this, we got food and stayed in after dark. Might be a problem in bad weather and the winter.
