About this property

Lincoln Homestead: history, craftsmanship, comfort

For the first time in two centuries, the historic Lincoln Homestead is available for booking overnight stays. Experience the craftsmanship and grandeur of this c. 1800 Federal Style house built by the great-uncle of President Abraham Lincoln, carefully restored in 2021 to preserve historic features while accommodating contemporary living. Your large group will love the 5 charming bedrooms, spacious formal rooms, comfortable family room, custom kitchen and outdoor spaces to connect and relax.

We are, unfortunately, unable to accommodate service animals at the Lincoln Homestead due to host allergies and farm animals on the property.

Beautiful property! Lovely mix of history and charm with the comfort of modern conveniences. Sarah was a wonderful hostess with excellent communication. The kids loved playing basketball and jumping on the trampoline while we enjoyed the sunset on the porch. Highly recommended!

Historical & Cozy

Many of our family were happy to stay at Sarah’s home while in town for a wedding. Everyone was amazed at the home's beauty and how well it had been renovated. The property was clean, and the host was always quick to answer our questions and easy to work with. If we are ever in the area again, we would be happy to stay again!

We were there for a wedding so we didn’t do any local activities. The house and its history were amazing. Everything you could possibly need was in the home. I liked the location also because you were out of town but still close enough for a few minutes trip to get to restaurants and shopping.

Stunning home

This home was perfect for graduation weekend with our family. We had a wonderful time reading about the history of this home and exploring the beautiful details inside the house. Everything you would ever want was provided. Highly recommend this unique property!

Beautifully remodeled farmhouse.

It was JMU graduation weekend and we booked this home for 3 families to stay and celebrate a granddaughter's graduation. The home was clean and neat. The kitchen was amazing (we cook). The kitchen had everything you could ever imagine and was an excellent place to socialize. We enjoyed our stay and would book this place again in a heartbeat for more JMU weekends. Maybe a 10-15 min drive to Harrisonburg.
