Old Rag View Horse Farm with Log Lodge and Treehouse

Chestnut Oak Farm is a luxurious western-style lodge retreat on a 90 acre horse farm near the base of Old Rag Mountain. The lodge was constructed in 2009 using granite blocks from the farm and huge Virginia pine logs in a western style of rustic elegance. The lodge is surrounded by decks and porches to take in the magnificent view over Hidden Valley, Old Rag Mountain, the farm's twin ponds, and the horses grazing in the fields. The lodge is equipped with a Chef's Kitchen, huge dining room (we have seated sixteen), double-sided fireplace, baby grand piano, screened porch, and covered porch. The main lodge house has three Master Bedrooms, and two other large bedrooms with a shared bath. Downstairs is a walkout game room with foosball, ping pong, bar, and a fire pit/movie pit with 52" screen TV. The outdoor 8 person hot tub is steps away, overlooking the pond.

150 feet down the hill below the pond is the 'Guest' Treehouse. The treehouse is a cedar sided two level cabin-style house which sleeps six, with full bath and kitchen--and an optional fire pole exit for the adventurous. This treetop aerie has to be seen to be believed!

The farm has a small herd of horses and one alpaca, Mike. We have hiking trails on the property. A fantastic network of both gravel and paved roads fans out from the farm for incredible short and long distanced cycling routes. Or you can leave the farm to hike the incredible local trails or fish the local streams, or visit some of the local wineries or organic farms. We are 35 miles from Charlottesville, and 82 miles from Washington DC.

Caretakers live onsite and can help out with questions, firewood, directions, and even with provisioning if desired. They are happy to arrange spectacular custom-guided trail rides from a local stable in the surrounding mountains--even overnight camping trips.

Pure Bliss
We had a great time at the house, all family members enjoyed the stay. The morning view was so impressive from the deck but the evening sunset was even better! Getting there was everything we expected as the host gave great instructions and let you know what to expect. Check in was very easy as well. The host is very nice and informative about everything. The caretakers were absolutely fantastic, any question we had they were happy to help. They gave us great advice on the area and spent some time telling us about the horses. The area is really nice too, a lot of local produce. We would absolutely recommend this home and hopefully we will get back here at some point.

Great lodge!
Very nice well appointed home. We came in for a nearby family wedding and it was a great place to stay. Try to arrive during the day though as it is a little hard to find at night. But well worth opening and closing a gate or two. Fantastic view. Great space.

Mother’s Day week end
Wonderful family togetherness in a beautiful log castle. My sons cooked wonderful meals, kids loved the outdoor space and the perfect tree-house. The home was the most impressive we have ever stayed in. The views of the mountains were majestic. The kitchen is huge. We loved having two dishwashers. There are so many bedrooms, so much space and interesting things to do. We loved it.

This location was perfect for the brides family to use as home base on the wedding weekend. We had plenty of room and loved all the porches for outdoor views and gatherings. Next time we will plan to spend more time using the hot tub, fire pit and hiking. We loved this house!

This is a remarkable house and property in a lovely location. Perfect for a family reunion. Lots of space -- indoors and out -- and very comfortably furnished. Many distinctive touches, including tree trunks as interior columns, and a cozy treehouse.

Perfect!
The main house/lodge is amazing. Views are gorgeous. The setting is peaceful and private. There are so many areas inside and outside of the house that it was hard to choose where to gather. Double ovens and dishwasher worked out great for a group. This was our best family get together yet!

Best location for Cousin Reunion
We planned our reunion for 12 adults and decided on this property for October. It was totally amazing! Lots and lots of room and plenty to do. We visited wineries and distilleries during the afternoons but hung out and cooked in all weekend. The views from all the rooms are spectacular. The walk does the road to see the horses and meet Joe the caretaker was fun. Communication with the host was sparse but a very detailed set of instructions and things to do was sent a few days before check in which was very helpful. This is a truly peaceful place. Oh, and I need to practice up on my ping pong!

Wonderful escape from DC
Beautiful property and so relaxing! We typically have to bring our own kitchen gear for cooking but the kitchen had everything we needed. The house and grounds were better than we imagined. We teleworked during our stay and could have used better WiFi but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The owner was extremely helpful and kind as well. Highly recommend this property- we hope to make it back soon!

In one word - AMAZING
My family stayed here for a wedding in Washington, Virginia. The photos don't do the property justice! The house is absolutely beautiful - as are the views! Rooms are spacious and there are plenty of beds and bathrooms! The caretakers - Charlotte and Joseph - as well as the owner - were extremely responsive with any needs that we had. We spent each morning sitting on the front deck - looking out at the mountains. The additional tree-house is so cute - I only wish we had children that could have enjoyed it. We are already talking about having a family reunion there in the future!

Perfect in every way. Pictures don’t do it justice. Clean, spacious, beautiful views, comfortable, functional, fun. This place has it all with no complaints. We hiked Old Rag Mountain. Strenuous but so worth the view. We would have done the rock scramble had it been 10 years earlier. Also went to Luray Caverns. Truly amazing. We would not hesitate to go back to this house. And the tree house…adorable.

Fabulous house
We got snowed in and lost power our second day there. The property manager was amazing -- he even offered us his generator for my mom's oxygen tank and space heater. We stayed for a second night, hoping the power would be restored. Sadly it was not, but the owner was very responsive and gave us a full refund. (He also plans to buy a generator for the house.) We will definitely return!

Log Cabin Love!
Our stay at your beautiful log cabin home was epic! Everything was better than pictured and described and the place had everything we needed and more! The kitchen had plenty of cookware and serve ware for our large group and there was ample space for many cooks in the kitchen. The main cabin and the treehouse accommodated our group very comfortably. All beds were super comfortable and each having its own bathroom was such a treat. We enjoyed the downstairs game room area and TV. We had planned to visit a local winery, but couldn't bring ourselves to leave the property. So we set up our own wine tasting outside with the fire pit and plenty of chairs for all! Thank you for sharing this amazing place - we are planning our return!!

Fantastic Cabin for Group Get-Togethers
This cabin is even better than the description entails. Our group has made it the location of our annual get-together each year, and for two years now, we could not be happier with everything from the amenities (things like two dishwashers really come in handy when you plan large group meals like our Friendsgiving Meal) and the cleanliness of the cabin. Add in the hospitality from the cabin's caretaker Penny, and you just can't ask for more. The layout of this cabin (with its 3 master suites with ensuite bathrooms) to the very spacious great room with dual-sided fireplace gives even large 10-12 person groups plenty of room to relax and enjoy your stay. And I can't say enough about the absolutely stunning views from this location! We absolutely love this cabin and hope to return for many, many years to come! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy a piece of mountain heaven!
