Nice break from the chaos

Clean, quiet property very near some breweries and several nice restaurants within a half hour. We went on a variety of hikes including some smaller ones right on the property. Owner was friendly, and quick to respond to any questions. Varied age range in group and we all had a good time. This is a great base to explore the area.

Nothing short of amazing

Property is exactly or better then described. Owners are very attentive to your needs and have thought of everything. Close to Wintergreeen if your plans have you having fun up there. Beds were fantastic. House is so very warm and inviting. If I could give 6 star ratings I would. We always say we want to stay at a property again, but I think we may make this place a priority.

Perfect Retreat!

Perfectly located, clean and well stocked, Four Elements Farm was the ideal location for a short winter break. Loved exploring the local breweries that were so close. Great hiking right on the property. Private and secluded but close to everything you would want to visit in Nelson County: Wintergreen, Devil’s Backbone, Bold Rock, Blue Mountain Brewery, Silverback Distillery, Afton Mountain and countless wineries. Perfect for families or several couples. Owner, Craig, was very helpful and great to work with. I highly recommend this place and we are sure to book again!

Great trip at Four Elements Farm

Four Elements farm was a great getaway for our family. The property is very private and had plenty to do to keep our three kids entertained. Hikes in the woods, feeding the ducks at the pond and a fire pit for warmth and smores kept the down time around the house very active. The property was close and convenient to Winter Green Resort and Devils Backbone is right down the street. The property owner was very responsive and great to deal with. We would highly recommend staying at Four Elements.

Modern farm in the mountains

We had a wonderful experience at 4 Elements farm. The home is equipped for a lovely, relaxed stay. The inside is completely updated, with a modern farmhouse flair. We loved exploring the property, and feeding the friendly ducks! The house is in close proximity to Wintergreen and even closer Bold Rock cider. Craig is very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend staying here if you can! We hope to be back.

Wonderful weekend in the Blue Ridge

We had a terrific weekend at Four Elements Farm. The farmhouse is beautiful and very nicely furnished, with plenty of space for our family, and the kitchen was large and very well equipped for all the cooking we did. The views were spectacular, the location is great, just a few seconds from Devils Backbone Brewery but very private on the large property. We enjoyed hiking on the trails up the hill that started right at the farmhouse. No crowds like on the AT, you will have the mountain all to yourself. And feeding the goats and ducks was fun as well. Craig was easy to reach, a great host. We'll definitely plan on returning to Four Elements Farm on our next trip to the area.

Wonderful property, even better than expected

For her birthday, our daughter wanted to ski with a few of her friends at Wintergreen like many times before. We have always stayed at the top of the mountain, but this time we decided to try something different. The reason was the description of this listing - it sounded like a great opportunity to be closer to nature on a private farm. It exceeded every expectation - the property was very well maintained, the year round ducks were happy to see us, as were the goats, the pond and hiking trails were great, and the house was warm and welcoming. You can tell the owners have put significant thought and effort into the details to ensure a great stay. When it was time to leave, we all definitely wished we had more time!

Peace and quiet in the serenity of the Blue Ridge

Our group consisted of an 83 year old with mobility issues, young adults, a Golden Retriever, and the rest of us clinging to middle age folks. Everyone had a wonderful time! The home was set up perfectly for us- the first floor bedroom that joined the living room and dining room was perfect for my mother in law who could be a part of the goings on without any problems. The downstairs was perfect for the young adults to feel like they had a space of their own. And the rest of us enjoyed free reign. The house was equipped with everything we needed and then some! Absolutely gorgeous surroundings with tons of room to explore and spread out. Amenities galore kept everyone entertained without even leaving the property. But the area provided plenty to do as well. The owners, Craig and Kerry are friendly and welcoming- we arrived to a bottle of local wine, all the fixings for s’mores, and even a treat for our fur baby! Exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning in the future!

Lovely rural property that’s great for traveling with a dog

The property is lovely and well set-up for out of area guests. The inside of the house was really clean with attractive but simple furnishings, loads of towels, all the firewood you could use and is well suited for traveling with a dog, which we did. The house is very comfortable and the AC kept up with the really hot (>90’s) weather while we were there in August. The driveway is long and paved, but also old, so it’s bumpy and might be tough for small cars in rough weather. The new owner is starting some updating of outbuildings on the property and there seemed to be deferred maintenance when they bought. We used the IGA in Nellysford close by for basic perishable food and it was easy to get to and from. There’s a nice bakery right next door. We ate at the local brewery and cidery with our dog on the patio and were well received and weren’t the only ones with a dog. We saw a family of deer every day and watched the ducks acting like they own the place. The trails around the property are either mostly level or straight up the hill. Other longer hikes aren’t a long drive away. We enjoyed both. It’s a nice place to visit and really relax.

Farmhouse Chic at it's finest

We just got home from a long weekend trip to the breweries/wineries around Wintergreen and the 4 Elements Farm was a GREAT place to stay. The house is the epitome of farmhouse chic. Perfect for 3 couples to stay in absolute comfort or a large family. We pulled into driveway to a three deer welcome along the tree line in the front yard. We cooked dinner one of the nights and breakfast each morning and had everything we needed. Nightly fires in the huge fireplace, even on the nights that weren't very cold, were a relaxing change of pace. You forget how nice a real fire is when you have the convenience of flipping a switch. You miss that smell!! The rain hindered our exploration of the property, but we did get to visit a little with the goats and ducks before we left. Craig was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had. We have found a place to stay anytime we come up to the mountains in the future. Thanks for everything!!

About the host

Hosted by Craig Griffin

Host profile image
Kerry and I love to travel, and have been opening our home in Charlottesville for short term stays for several years. We bought 4 Elements farm in December of 2020 as a place of respite and solitude. We love to share this beautiful land with you.

Why they chose this property

Well fell in love with this property immediately. The combination of forest, mountain views, a swimming pond, streams and falls, as well a lovely rustic farmhouse meant that there is something for every season. The proximity to Nellysford and Wintergreen and all the shopping, wineries, breweries, and distilleries made this location perfect.

What makes this property unique

Four Elements Farm is a perfect blend of all the outdoors has to offer with cozy interior comforts. One wood burning fireplace and a second gas stone stacked fireplace, board and batten wooden interior, open vaulted ceiling living room inside. Outside, enjoy swimming off the dock at the pond, the fire pit at night, or the spectacular views from trails. Several deck and patio areas to enjoy any time of the year.
