Charming, cozy and peaceful.
We loved staying here while in town with family for a wedding. The home was set on a beautiful farm with lovely landscaping and views. We enjoyed the big dining room which featured a huge window overlooking the property. We appreciated the comfortable, clean linens on the beds well as ample, fresh towels. There was plenty of space to spread out an hang with our family. It is an old home which has its quirkiness but also lots of charm. Thanks for the hospitality. We may be back when we return to Virginia.

Fantastic!
This property is adorable, cozy, and comfortable. We stayed for the weekend to celebrate a friend's wedding at Lydia Mountain Lodge, which was a quick 15 min trip. Judy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, and we really enjoyed our stay. I would 100% recommend this property to others and I hope to be able to visit again in the future!

Awesome Girls Trip!
This is an AMAZING property! The house is beautiful and very well stocked! The beds were so comfortable and we all raved about them! Getting up in the morning, we enjoyed having coffee on the porch and listing to the cows speak to each other. This is a very special piece of property and to have all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were amazing! We had such a wonderful time and look forward to staying again in the future!!

Perfect Place to Stay
Can’t say enough. It was exactly as described and then some. Beautiful property, amazing views. The space was perfect for three adult couples. We had the best time and enjoyed all the different areas to socialize. We loved the large table overlooking the mountains, the front porch views, and the back patio too. Bedrooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. We will be back and share this place with others too.

Spacious, charming home in bucolic setting
8 adults enjoyed this beautiful, comfortable home for a wedding weekend at a nearby winery. The home exceeded our expectations with spacious living area, comfortable beds, plush towels and magnificent views. We all commented on how relaxed the peaceful farm setting made us feel and watching the sunset over the spectacular blue ridge mountains from the porch was an unexpected treat. The host was responsive and gracious, providing delicious fresh eggs and banana chip bread. We can’t wait to return!

Amazing property with stunning views
We came into town for a wedding at Early mountain winery. Place was super close and perfect. We needed three full bathrooms for our group of six. We were surprised with the eggs and banana bread waiting for us. Was nice to have breakfast food available as we got in very late and no time to get provisions on our way from airport. Judy also brought us more eggs and hangers to use for hanging out wedding attire. Views from front porch were stunning this time of year. We would visit again in a heartbeat!! Ollie the farm pup is adorable and fun to play ball with.
