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

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.
