We loved everything about our stay…the friendly animals, fresh duck and chicken eggs daily, amazing views, serene pond, and modern, comfortable accommodations. ,,,,
Our children were in heaven! They adored the baby goats and spent endless hours with the ducklings. Our son caught his first fish…a big one!...and we all enjoyed swimming, canoeing, and paddle boating with the colorful Muskovy ducks watching on....
The farm has spectacular views of the Blue Ridge and activities that made us not want to venture out. We spent hours around the fire pit at night, telling stories, star gazing, roasting marshmallows, and listening to the amazing sounds of the country. We hiked the trails, enjoyed the pristine ponds, and couldn’t get enough of the friendly animals. Cleo the cat, Bailey the mule, Truman the rooster, and Willy the goat were our favorites!....
If you want the perfect country getaway, this is it! Located at the end of a lovely country lane only minutes from Shenandoah National Forest, it’s a hiker and bird watcher’s dream. In addition to enjoying the awesome accommodations, the pond, and all the animals, we had fun wine and beer tasting and shopping at local art galleries. The sunrises and sunsets are not to be missed!...
