Beautiful house, fantastically furnished and decorated, really drew us in and made us feel comfortable right away. Lots of interesting artwork and furniture pieces that everybody loved. The kitchen is huge and very functional. There were 11 of us and it never felt crowded. We came to spend time together and taste the wine and it was a fabulous weekend with my sisters, nieces, daughter and our stepmother with my nephew and my daughter’s boyfriend as designated drivers. Everybody wants to do it again. And to top it all off, the donkeys, goats and pig are adorable!

Comfortable and homey

This farm house is like taking a step back in time. The animals were friendly and fun to feed. The beds were comfortable. The only hiccup was we needed a blender and couldn't find one anywhere. I would stay here again. Great house and property.

Great location near Nelson 151

We loved the location, and it's was fun to visit with the animals. Wish we were able to sample some of the chicken eggs. There is a bit of deferred maintenance, some water damage in the kitchen. Would also have been great if there was a hair dryer available, especially as the weather gets colder. All in all a fun stay at a farm with a great location.

We all enjoyed our stay. We had 7 kids and 4 adults. The pool was great. The kids loved the animals. The rooms were large and well maintained. We all enjoyed the movie room.

A quiet escape near many activities

The farm is a perfect base camp for enjoying Nelson County and the 151 byway. It is quiet and peaceful but still super close if looking to enjoy hiking Humpback (can be seen from the property), enjoying the craft beer and wine trail, or enjoying the seasonal activities - an evening corn maze was a highlight. Kitchen has ample space to cook or set up a buffet of takeout from the roadside BBQ and weekend food trucks frequently found at the nearby breweries. And the season decor in the farmhouse adds ambiance to the great togetherness time the property inspires.

Great house!

Great views and the house has so many interesting things. Plenty of books, games and old movies to occupy the kids. Only bummer was the pool had an algae bloom so we couldn't swim which took some of the wind out of the sails but plenty of other stuff to do. The ladies liked the nearby shops and I liked the quiet. Caretaker was awesome to talk to as well!

Fantastic Stay

Our stay at this farmhouse was just wonderful. So peaceful and relaxing and we had some of the most beautiful views. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, with the exception of no wifi (cellular service is terrible in the area if you’re on ATT or Verizon). The pool was refreshing as it was really hot there the week we stayed. Lastly the animals are super friendly. We enjoyed taking our 2 dogs for a walk every day and visiting the goats, pig and horse. Thank you Linda for being a wonderful host.

Wow - Exceeded Expectations

The house had a huge kitchen, dining room and common room for socializing. You could spend hours going from room to room looking at the antiques, furnishings and art. Huge collection of VHS tapes and DVD's if you want to spend time in front of the TV. Beds were overall very comfortable and the house was very clean. The pool was the biggest attraction for our hot summer visit and very nice that plenty of pool towels were provided. Simply the most unique and awesome house rental experience I've ever had!

Large Charming Farmhouse

We had 7 people and there was plenty of space! The house had everything we needed with the exception of ice and was clean. A few chairs are older and could stand to be replaced. The new mattresses on the beds were great but are speaky for the two rooms with box springs. The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking. Overall, we had a great stay!

Great house for a large family

We traveled with our children and some extended family for a 4 night stay. This house was a great location for exploring Monticello/Charlottesville, as well as the surrounding vineyards and breweries. We love the feel of a farmhouse that’s not “too fussy” yet very nicely decorated and appointed with modern amenities. Everything was clean and as described (the only thing missing was the horse that apparently passed away). The pool was perfect and picturesque against the other 200-year-old building that is also on property. I’d definitely love to return and I’d recommend this property to other visitors to the area.

Beautiful property and location, needs some extra work

The location is beautiful, close to wineries and hiking and the donkeys/goats on the farm were so much fun for children. The pool was a wonderful plus and was so much fun. We had some problems during our stay that were somewhat addressed. The host forwarded us the downstairs AC would be broken and they put as many fans as possible which helped immensely and they were very forthcoming before we arrived with the issue. The home was not as clean or organized as I have come to expect and could use some more detailed cleaning between guests. We also had an issue with mice in the home and some bugs in the kitchen which soured our stay. Hopefully this will be addressed before additional guests stay at the property. Overall, it is a very spacious home and private property perfect for families and groups that if additional cleaning and pest control are arranged would be 5 stars.

Farm House

We stayed here to celebrate our good friend who is getting married (there were 8 of us total)! Overall, we had a good experience! Pros: The house was clean and very spacious! There were several rooms that we did not even use. The house was well stocked with blankets, towels, pool towels, and silverware, dishwater, mugs, etc. There was a fire pit and lawn games (corn hole) that we used almost every night! The house is also very close to some local breweries, wineries, and hiking and about 30 minutes to downtown Charlottesville- great location! Cons: There was no wifi. We weren’t able to use the pool during our visit because of an algae issue, this is something that we were all looking forward to use as part of the amenities. An earlier review mentioned the algae issue, so it would have been nice to know that this was not resolved prior to us arriving. Also, there was a mouse in the house that we trapped in the downstairs bathroom on our last night. We understand there may be rodents due to the farm and animals but this is not something we wanted to see during our trip. I contacted the host due to these issues and am awaiting to hear a response to see if we are able to get any money back. Overall, we would definitely visit the area again but probably look for an alternate place to stay due to some of the issues that we personally experienced during our trip.
