About this property

The Cottage at Still Pond Farm Horse Farm Stay near Charlottesville & Shenandoah

Nestled in Virginia’s Piedmont, in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is located near the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville, UVA, and the region’s renowned wine country. Our peaceful countryside farm offers ever-changing mountain vistas, wooded trails, and a calming rural escape.

Still Pond was designed by renowned landscape architects Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a misty morning, the landscape offers breathtaking views in every season. Wildlife can be seen and heard throughout the farm, and the sky—whether filled with stars or a glowing moon—is always spectacular. It’s an ideal setting for birdwatching, wildlife observation, stargazing, or simply soaking in the serenity of true quiet.

Our cozy two-story cottage with a loft and wraparound porch is comfortably furnished for a relaxing getaway. Located near the horse stables, the cottage offers easy parking and views of the barn, paddocks, 60-foot round pen, and natural pond. A wooded border behind the cottage adds privacy and a sense of peaceful seclusion—perfect for nature lovers and stargazers alike. In the evenings, gather around the outdoor firepit and enjoy the fresh mountain air beneath clear country skies.

Come experience the quiet beauty and tranquility of life on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you!

About the host

Hosted by Still Pond Farm Stables LLC

Host profile image
We’re lifelong animal lovers who feel lucky to call this beautiful farm home. Sharing it with guests is a joy—especially seeing people slow down, connect with nature, and experience the calm of country life. Whether you’re here to interact with the horses or just enjoy the quiet, we’re happy to host you.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location for its incredible natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to so much that Virginia has to offer. Set in Virginia’s Piedmont, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is just minutes from Shenandoah National Park—where we hike often—as well as Madison, Orange, and nearby towns like Stanardsville, while Charlottesville is just a short drive away—yet it still feels a world away.

The views are spectacular year-round, and the quiet countryside gives you room to breathe. We love the mix of mountain scenery, small-town charm, and access to Charlottesville’s vibrant culture, along with nearby wineries—but most of all, we love sharing this peaceful setting with our animals. Caring for our horses, chickens, barn cats and seasonal geese is part of our daily rhythm, and it’s a joy to welcome guests into that way of life.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage at Still Pond Farm has a rustic yet contemporary feel, with open, airy spaces designed to bring the outside in. Cozy textiles and warm wood are blended with accents of glass and mirrors, reflecting natural light and creating a sense of calm. A lofted ceiling adds height and openness, while bay windows in the living and dining rooms frame views of the surrounding paddocks, 60ft round pen, barn and stables.

Throughout the cottage, windows provide ever-changing glimpses of the farm—horses grazing, boarders riding, or staff tending to animals—offering a quiet rhythm of daily farm life. Behind the cottage, a wooded border adds a sense of privacy and seclusion, making it feel tucked away while still near everything.

Though we’re a working farm, guest and resident quarters are well-separated, and the cottage is thoughtfully placed for both comfort and privacy. In the evening, soft interior lighting adds a warm glow, gently lighting the bay windows. The farm is quiet at night, and the cottage feels serene and tucked away—aside from the occasional call of a coyote or fox, or the gentle sounds of our horses nearby.
