This property is beautiful! The setting couldn’t be more perfect: up a lane overlooking fields and GORGEOUSLY landscaped. I was in town for a wedding and didn’t get to spend as much time there as I would have liked. It was very comfortable, nicely decorated and well-stocked. When I contacted the host with a question, she immediately responded. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a very pretty old house situate in a beautiful valley near the mountains. Rooms are cozy and pleasant. Views from the dining room and front porch are lovely. One technical aspect (outdoor lighting beside bedroom window stayed on all night) was a small bother, and the host indicated they would not be addressing this issue. Otherwise, this was a nice house and a good place for a family or group of friends to have a relaxing mountain get-together.

Beautiful Farm Retreat

We rented the guest house for a long weekend exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The farm was bucolic, and the views from this home are gorgeous. The host communicated nicely throughout our stay. Great stay!!!

We were in for a friend's wedding and this place was a perfect place to stay. The property is beautiful and just a short drive to Shenandoah National Park were we did some awesome hikes. The house had everything we needed. Rooms were nice and big, bathrooms were very nice, and great kitchen. Had breakfast each morning in the dining room with a large window looking out over the beautiful scenery! Found some nice restaurants nearby as well. Highly recommend this place!!!

Adorable farmhouse stay

The location and views of this farmhouse were incredible. We stayed here for a wedding at early mountain vineyard which was a short 15 minute ride down the road. Everything was as listed and had everything we needed for our short weekend. The owners also left a dozen eggs from their farm in the fridge for our arrival which was a thoughtful touch.

What a gem. We stayed here to attend a wedding at Barn at Edgewood. It was an easy commute there and back several times a day. Two families of 4 fit comfortably with plenty of room. Farm house is clean and adorable, views and grounds are post card worthy. Our host Oliver the puppy came to visit several times and our teens were in love with him. We will be back to refill our soul here again.
