Huntington Farm - Great Family Retreat
Huntington Farm is a fantastic 14 acre gathering place for a large family or multi-family group. Situated along Cherrystone Creek just 5 miles from the town of Cape Charles, it is an ideal setting to get away from it all but still close to the great shops and restaurants in the town. Built in the 1600's and fully restored, it has huge living areas including a formal living room, formal dining room, a large modern kitchen and a family room with large picture windows looking out on Cherrystone Creek. The second floor sleeping areas include three bedrooms with en suite baths. Bedroom 1 has a king bed, bedroom 2 has a queen and bedroom 3 has two sets of bunk beds. There is also a sleeping/sitting room that has two day beds (twin size). The expansive grounds can easily accommodate large events with the addition of tents if need be.

Great place to stay and beautiful views. Was perfect for our group. Highly recommend!
We loved the house and property. It was private but yet within a short drive to shop and dine. The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious.
We did have trouble getting the tv to work (football weekend)
We hope to stay at Huntington Farm again.
Overall a great time with the exception of grass cuttings being tracked in the house and embetted in our dogs' fur and tree trimming interrupting our stay.
We have 4 young sons who love to run and explore!!! This property was just perfection for that! We had the best time and made the most amazing memories! The charm of the farmhouse is something the adults can appreciate and the kids loved the bunk beds and having their own room with a bathroom! We will be booking this property again and again!
We had a wonderful stay Easter weekend! My family loved the no frills charming old farmhouse. The house could use some maintenance but, the beautiful views of the water make up for it! There was plenty of space for seven adults, a toddler, and two dogs! The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook or there's plenty of options to eat out in Cape Charles! It was fun learning about the history of the farm including the cemetery on the premises! We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and use of the firepit close to the water! If you are looking for peace and quiet and a place away from it all this is the place to stay!
We stayed in this house last Memorial Day weekend (2022) and had such a great time that we booked it again this year. While we had a great time in Cape Charles, we found the house was not on the same par as last year. There were cobwebs throughout the house and clumps of dust under the furniture int he family room. We felt the cleaning fee should cover a better cleaning job. Also, the kitchen was not as well stocked with cooking utensils and necessary cleaning items (dish soap, paper towels, sponges, etc.) as we felt it was last year. Overall we feel it's a beautiful house and property - we were just disappointed in the lack of cleanliness and supplies that are normally included when renting.
I loved it, but my kids are too used to newer rental properties
I loved this historic site, although the house could stand a lot of decluttering, especially in the kitchen/den wing. There were a lot of improvements that could be made, but since the property is for sale, I doubt the owner wants to go to the trouble. Perhaps more could be said in the listing about the history of the house and the people interred in the graveyard, and the rental could be pitched to history lovers.
Lots of space. Lots of history...house built in 1600's but very nice and spacious. Internet was a bit slow at times but overall worked. Towels and linens included which was real nice. Places for a fire, BBQ etc. Great place..definately going back.
We loved the house and the property - both were beautiful and well kept. It was so peaceful - all you heard were the birds chirping! I'd love to know about the history of the property since it was established in the 1600s! I'd definitely recommend it to others! Cape Charles is a delightful town! We had a great time!
We loved the area. Beautiful and peaceful. House met all our needs. Home was very clean. We felt like we had stepped back in time! Our little dog loved running in the field and wading in the water.
The entire family had a wonderful experience and plan to return!
Chesapeake Bay house with warm and charming decor that reminded us of home. Private and yet close to town. Lots of room inside and out for family and friends to explore as well as enjoy the incredible views.
This was our second trip to Huntington Farm and despite having a wonderful time and enjoying ourselves tremendously, it would be remiss to not note that the property is in desperate need of some TLC. The house is old and the historic charm is much appreciated, but updates are necessary to ensure comfort of your guests.
This location is clean, well cared for, and an amazing location to just get away. The property management group is the best in timely answering of questions and helping with altered schedules.
Our son was married at nearby Mimosa Barn and our stay at Huntington Farm was lovely. The groom and groomsmen dressed here and took pictures on the beautiful grounds. We were comfortable and loved both the history and the waterfront location.
My spouse, daughter, and I spent a week here. We fell in love with the property the moment we pulled up. Our dog was in heaven with acres and acres of open grass space among trees that had to be over a 150 years old. The house was emaculate and beautifully laid out. The beds were very comfortable and had all of the conveniences of home. We loved the history of the place which made it even more attractive. We had kayaks delivered and launched them from the side of the house which opens to the bay. The sunsets were spectacular!!!. Close to the state park and beach. Very close to downtown. This will be our go to place when we return. Also want to thank Chuck who coordinated our stay and came to my rescue when we departed. I left my phone on the front porch. He immediately retrieved it and located a person staying in CC who was driving back to our town the same day we left.

We loved the grounds and the house, in general, but the kitchen was poorly equipped; we found we needed to go out and buy basic items frequently. Also, the property was not ready at the check-in time. The cleaning crew had not been there and we had to wait two hours (until after 6:00 p.m.) for them to finish cleaning. The house has so much potential if someone would take the time to make some very simple upgrades. The house doesn't feel "loved"; sadly, it feels neglected. We would love to spend a week there just upgrading the property and doing projects ourselves!
The location had perfect views. It was very quiet with a short drive to town and the beach. Overall we were extremely satisfied. The home is very old but super charming. It was clean and the air conditioner was efficient. There was also a brand new grill. The property could use some yard work and trimming around the house and near the water for easier access. We had no problem, however others may have difficulty. I would absolutely rent the property again.
We chose Huntington Farm for our 2021 Family vacation and wish we had taken a whole week at the place. It was absolutely perfect for our six adults and two preschoolers. The house was absolutely wonderful, fully stocked with all of the kitchen gadgets we could need, the beds were comfortable and the rooms looked clean and inviting, and the locations was absolutely perfect for playtime, running through the grass after bubbles, frisbee with dogs, sunsets views over the bay. I could go on and on. Forever memories are made in places like this. I'm so grateful to the owners of Huntington Farm for making it available for guests to rent.
