Stunning Old Rag and Shenandoah Vistas from this Gorgeous, Peaceful Retreat

Relax and spread out in this beautifully-appointed, comfortable, modern home, with three distinct levels. Located at the foot of Old Rag Mountain, in a little known paradise, the Etlan Valley, Four Fields Farm offers panoramic views from the spacious deck and almost every window, with the majesty of Old Rag front and center. From the vantage point of this charming property, overlooking fields, natural meadows, and picturesque farms, you can leave the world behind. Kick back in the lower level family room, read a good book in the hammock, cook a delicious meal in the well-appointed kitchen, share family time in the first floor great room, or head out to local wineries, breweries, fine dining, farmers markets, or historical venues. Easy walks, lawn games, and bike rides on country roads are outdoor options, too. Shenandoah National Park's border is acres away, offering great hikes to graceful waterfalls or challenging peaks, with plenty of bird and wildlife watching all around. Seek further adventures nearby: Skyline Drive, Monticello, Inn at Little Washington, Luray Caverns, adorable downtown Culpeper, and so much more! You will never want to leave.

Four Fields Farm is served by Piedmont Broadband, a local, well-respected, antenna based internet provider. They have an excellent track record by always providing quick customer service and consistent reliability, with download speeds of at least 10 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 3 Mbps. Many guests comment on consistent and reliable internet service provided by Piedmont Broadband, as well as the ability to stream various TV services and telework with confidence.

The kitchen at Four Fields Farm is spacious and well-equipped. There are plenty of pots and pans, dishes and silverware, as well as knives that are regularly sharpened. We provide towels, bed linens, paper products, coffee filters, trash bags, aluminum foil, sandwich bags, wax and parchment paper, food storage containers, simple soaps for both the bath and kitchen, and laundry facilities. There is seasoned oak firewood for the outdoor fire pit and wood stove. There is also a charcoal grill, with briquettes, chimney starter and newspaper on the lower level porch. There are recycling bins in the laundry room. We strive to provide all the basic items to manage the house.

If you want to hike, there is a variety of information in the bookcase in the foyer, including USGS topo maps, books, and every trail map published by the Shenandoah National Park in a three-ring binder. We also provide short descriptions on many of the local hiking trails, restaurants, wineries, and breweries.

Fun for family!
The property was a great way to spend a couple days away in a relaxing and home like setting. We traveled with our family, friends, and dogs. It was an ideal way for us to spend a weekend. We were able to do a little hiking and have a great place to go back to and relax and enjoy each others company. We look forward to doing it again.

Beautiful House with views of Old Rag
We rented this house for a hiking vacation. It was a beautiful house just minutes from Old Rag and other hiking trails in the Shenandoahs. The National Park entrance was about a 20 minute drive. Nice deck overlooking farmlands and hills. Well appointed rooms, well-equipped kitchen. The host was really nice and helpful. Hope to be back there soon.

Idyllic Spot
Our group of 4 adults had a fantastic stay at Four Fields. The home is warm, inviting, comfortable, clean and spacious. The windows provide a gorgeous view from anywhere in the house. Doug is an exceptional host and gave us great suggestions for hikes, food and activities in the area. There are several wonderful hikes within 10 minutes of the house, but you are also close to SNP with even more fabulous hikes and scenery. This was definitely one of our top 5 stays ever!

Love Four Fields!
Another wonderful weekend at Four Fields! We loved the Hazel River hike. The house is so wonderful. Love the fenced in yard for the pup, the views, the porch, the summer grilling — all close to breweries and wineries! Everything was fantastic and we can’t wait to return soon!

Better than Advertised
The pictures in the listing are beautiful, but the being there is even better. The place is well-furnished, clean, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the fantastic views. Our host, Doug, communicated well with us and we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

Great vacation with family!
We are so glad we choose this property for a family vacation. The house was close to several hiking trails especially old rag mountain trail. We enjoyed eating dinners out in the deck with the wonderful view. Our dogs had a great time in the fenced backyard. I wouldn’t hesitate renting this house again in the future.

Best kept secret
This was hands down my favorite place I've ever stayed. We were in Madison County for our wedding, and Doug could not have been any kore amazing or accommodating. The view is 10/10, and was absolutely the most perfect house to keep our dogs with us while we got married. The guests who did get to see the house said the same thing! We will absolutely be returning! Maybe even to go hiking for our 1 year anniversary.

Short stay in December
We stayed at this property for a couple of nights in late December. Its a lovely house with a beautiful view of the valley and the mountains. The house was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting next to beautiful fireplace and enjoyed. The owner was available and responded to our questions quickly. Overall, it was a great experience. Definitely recommend it if you are looking a quiet place to stay outside the city hustle and bustle.

Beautiful setting, comfortable and clean!
Our family of four had such a wonderful stay here! Doug is a fantastic host, went the extra mile with great communication and local suggestions. The house is well laid out, spacious and comfortable. Our dog loved the fenced in area and roaming the property. Our oldest son uses a wheelchair for mobility, and the main floor was perfectly accessible for him. The views are incredible and the setting is peaceful. Not far from Monticello and Shenandoah NP which were our 2 main destinations. Thanks so much for sharing your place and the hospitality!

Fantastic, pet-friendly stay!
This was the best setup we could have hoped for - Four Fields was in a beautiful, quiet spot, the house was very clean and a great size, and everything in the kitchen and elsewhere was well-stacked. The house isn't far from fantastic hiking either. The best amenity though was the fenced in backyard - we frequently travel with our pets and letting them run around outside with security was amazing. Doug was a great host, too - very communicative and kind and made himself available for any questions or concerns (there were none, but it was nice to know we would be able to reach out if needed!). Thank you for a fantastic weekend. We will hopefully be back in the future!
