We had the best time at the loft and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. The scenery is beautiful and the animals are friendly and come right up to you to hang out. We loved getting to explore the propoerty, too! If you stay here, you also have to go enjoy Wayvine, the winery, thats right up the road. The wine and atmosphere is incredible! Laura and James were amazing hosts who responded quickly and made sure all our needs were met. Overall, a perfect weekend getaway and we would love to come back!

I am giving the stay 2 stars instead of 1 because of the tranquil location. Unfortunately there were challenges beginning to end. The instructions said to go around the back of the garage to the door. There is no marked path and no signs so you’re left feeling lost. Then the door was so swollen shut that my boyfriend (who works out a lot) had to use both hands and his body weight to open and close it. They key provided locks this door on the first floor and not the second floor door to the unit. This was confusing because the gym and sauna on the first floor are supposed to be open to all guests. But if left open there would be no way to secure the loft. As we walked inside, the musty, damp smell was overwhelming. I have bad allergies and I immediately got congested and started coughing. During our stay we had all of the window AC units (which are loud), fans and dehumidifier running nonstop just to make it breathable. It took close to 36 hours for it to not bother my allergies. I think they need proper ventilation to deal with an underlying issue and it should be running well in advance of anyone staying there.The second issue was the rodent feces found on the bathroom vanity, shower, the back bedroom bedding, and the front bedroom chairs. We cleaned it up the first night only to find more the next morning. I was done. I appreciate rustic decor and historical architecture, but this remodel seems half done with more attention paid to the aesthetic than function.

Setting was so charming and peaceful, the perfect place for our family wedding nearby. Well-stocked with everything we needed. Communication, details, directions - all thorough and accurate. Hosts were fabulous and super attentive! They even jumped right on it when we noticed a couple bees had gotten in and took care of it so well! Only regret is I wish we'd had more time to explore and enjoy this beautiful place!

Beautiful Farm Stay

The Loft at Ethereal Farm was perfect in every way. We're actually local to the area and needed somewhere to host family for a night. I'm so happy that we found The Loft so close by. It was extremely clean & cozy with beautiful decor & scenery. The best part about our stay was getting a surprise visit from one of the resident donkeys. I highly recommend staying here!

Adorable 2nd floor apartment on a beautiful farm with winery and goats. Very secluded and quiet. Everything we could want supplied … loads of towels, Keurig, Smores Fixings, bunches of blankets, a very responsive thermostat … just a cozy treat in a cold late autumn night.

Charming loft with plenty of friendly farm animals

My wife, 14-year-old son, and I had a great time during our two-night stay at Ethereal Farms. We felt like we were deep in the country but the farm is located only about 20 minutes away from I-95 and 10 minutes from a Walmart. We chose the property because my autistic son loves animals, and the farm had horses, goats, donkeys, turkeys, ducks, and chickens that we could see up close. We enjoyed ourselves on the hiking trail on the property and used the bikes as well to ride up to the main road. On both nights, we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores using the fire pit. The loft was very comfortable, clean, and private. It was well-stocked with supplies and we took advantage of the sauna on the ground floor. The kitchen is small and probably would not be suitable for a lot of cooking, but we made simple meals and ordered out (very tasty pizza nearby) and so it worked out for us. Laura was a very hospitable and attentive host. We deeply appreciated her kindness and responsiveness throughout our stay. She even took us into the goat pen (directly across form the loft) and then later rounded up the horses (a couple of different times) so that my son could feed and pet them. We would gladly to return to Ethereal Farms someday.
