Charming Farmhouse for a Family

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse! The perfect blend of history and modern comforts made it a truly special experience. The views were breathtaking, and we loved seeing the cows—it added such a charming touch. This home was the ideal retreat for our family. Everything was thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found this place and hope to return someday!

The house is so well furnished and comfortable. So much space and the views are so serene. Took a 2 mile country road walk yesterday to enjoy the area. Farm across the street sells Mountain View cheese in their little farmstand. Wonderful owner and easy communication!

Polyface farm event

We have stayed in several nice Vrbo's in the Staunton area. This accommodation was exceptional and we hope to stay here again next summer. The location was exceptional and provided easy access to the interstate and also local attractions. Finally, we found the kitchen very functional and the house offered several places to rest and relax.
