About this property

Farmhouse on Ranch w/ Horses & Mountain Views!

Welcome to Big Oak Manor & Ranch, est. 1892! Beautifully renovated farmhouse with sunrise/set views. Fully equipped Chef’s Kitchen! Enjoy morning coffee or evening spirits outdoors over a campfire complete with a peaceful backdrop of rolling hills, classic red barn and mountains under a painted sky. Grab some local produce and spoil yourself with a meal prep area fit for an executive chef. Serve meals on our 8’ farm table in front of a large picture window watching our cattle and horses graze.

A few minutes to the Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Luray Golf Course, and George Washington National Forest and a 40-minute drive to Massanutten or Bryce Resorts for skiing and snow tubing. Superhosts with over 600 5-star reviews! Beautifully restored manor house, circa 1892, nestled on a 30-acre working ranch. Sunrise and sunset views over the mountains are almost as stunning as the large kitchen picture window that allows you to observe the horses and cattle while gathering for meals at the 8-foot farm table. Spoil yourself by preparing fresh, local produce in our chef’s kitchen. Cozy up next to the fireplaces, enjoy a good book in one of the many reading nooks, or grab a partner or friends for some spirited games. Let your little ones splash around in the creek and enjoy campfires around the Solo stove. Order some of our fresh farm eggs and firewood for your visit. This year-round farmhouse is your next vacation!

Family Gathering
We loved staying here and would recommend it to any family! It was perfect to gather around the table and enjoy a home cooked meal we had prepared together and then go outside and hang around the fire pit knowing we wouldn’t be disturbing anyone out in the country. Jennifer was very accommodating and very responsive and went out of her way to make our family feel welcome at the Farmhouse. I am definitely recommending to family and friends!
