Escape the City! Plain Outside; Gorgeous Inside; Huge Horse/Cattle Farm

Country living at its best! Quarter mile to other houses, at end of long drive. There are 7 vacation homes on our 600 acre farm, widely spaced. Give the kids a taste of nature. Fish in our ponds, swim in the swimming hole in our creek, hike our roads & woodland trails, pet the horses. Enjoy our Party Patio (with its hot tub). Share with another family, as there is room.

Do not be fooled by the "Plain Jane" exterior. The inside has huge living spaces, and is fabulously tricked out. With four bedrooms and a bonus children's sleeping room, Baldy's can comfortably accommodate 13 people.

Baldy's Retreat is tucked up against the woods on our 600 acre horse and cattle farm. Guests at Baldy's have access to the ponds, Game Barn, woodland trails, horse petting, hiking, bicycles, swimming hole, and the gorgeous scenery of Wolftrap Farm. Out the front door, Baldy's guests have views of horses that will come to the fence for treats, and you may see wild turkeys passing as well. The back deck is well-shaded, and the night noises of frogs and crickets back there are free.

You will also have the option of booking one of our golf carts to use to explore the farm, and to book our Party Patio, with its hot tub, corn hole and other games. (Party Patio must be reserved, 90 minutes per day, first come-first served. Contact the owner to reserve.)

We describe Baldy's as a Retreat because it is almost out of sight and out of earshot of the farm complex. However, a short walk down the drive brings you to additional horse paddocks with friendly horses. Just beyond, you reach the edge of the farm complex, with additional guest cottages, the Manor House, the stables, our Pavilions where we host wedding receptions, the Game Barn, and access to our woodland hiking trails.

Wolftrap Farm is an excellent home base when you want to visit wineries (Barboursville, Horton, Keswick and Hona Lea are within 15 minutes; Early Mountain is within 30). Monticello is a beautiful 30 minute drive away, and Montpelier is just across the little mountains in front of the farm, 15 minutes away. Other historical venues include the Civil War Museum in Gordonsville, James Madison Museum in Orange, Wilderness Battlefield and Michie's Tavern. (Once you book, we will be allowed to tell you how to access the Guest Information Booklet on the Wolftrap Farm website, describing local wineries, historical sites, restaurants, outdoor adventures, and other things to do when you stay at Wolftrap Farm.)
