Total Privacy - H’Owl at the Moon Farm & Cabin

"Into the forest I go... to lose my mind and find my soul." -John Muir

Ideal for couples or families!

Incredible cabin nestled in the center of 70 very private acres. Relax and unwind under incredible stars and listen to the night sounds of frogs, crickets, owls, and sometimes coyotes.

Close proximity to James River and tubing, UVA, and many wineries. You won't see any neighbors but you will see millions of stars and gain the serenity that can only come from unplugging from the world for a few days. There is WiFi but no cable, and (unless you have Verizon or Sprint) limited or no cell signal.

Feels remote yet only 20 minutes away from all that Charlottesville has to offer!

Cabin is conveniently located in the heart of the Virginia wine, beer and cider trail. While many popular attractions await you, most guests decide that returning to the cabin is the highlight of each day.

You begin to feel it from the moment you turn down into the driveway and meander by the grazing sheep entering the valley where a spring-fed pond gently gurgles as you pass through the canopy of trees shot through with shafts of sunlight. Subconsciously at first, you inhale a little deeper and then exhale just a little slower than usual. The bustle of life begins to fade as nature envelopes you. Crossing over the creek and heading upwards to Serenity Hill, you are greeted by big sky and open fields. As the driveway makes its final bend, H’Owl at the Moon Cabin unfolds.

The corners of your mouth tip upward. Your shoulders rise an inch. Do they seem lighter already? Can’t be…. But then you get out of the car and step into the magic of Serenity Hill and the warm, inviting cabin. You’re on vacation and yet, somehow, you’ve come home. You were meant to be here. Before you know it, you are under her spell.

It’s the place to inspire dreams and make memories; the place to appreciate family and love; the place to restore your balance as a part OF nature, not apart FROM nature. H’Owl at the Moon is an optimal place to clear the mind, restore the soul, and inspire the heart. Find your strength and your center again. Regroup and recharge.

Everywhere you look, regardless of the season, you have company in the form of natural beauty – from the active peep frog colony in late Winter to the hummingbirds and butterflies of Spring; from the newly arrived fawns signaling Spring through the flowering fields and firefly soaked evenings of Summer; from the night sounds of owls and coyotes in Fall to the ground nesting birds of Winter: H’Owl at the Moon beckons -- its cabin offering a central respite from which to allow your mind to quiet and your soul to open.

The cabin at H’Owl at the Moon is an authentic log home on nearly 70 acres in beautiful Albemarle County, Virginia. A year-round creek borders the entire eastern side of the property with many small pools and waterfalls. Mowed footpaths cross the fields and provide easy access to walking trails in the forest and a world of exploration. A large freshwater spring-fed pond offers 24 hour entertainment whether it's sunning and swimming in it yourself or just watching and listening to the bullfrogs do it.

The cabin has excellent outdoor living spaces that bring nature up close. A covered front porch offers a shady spot to relax in the morning with coffee and a full-length back deck on the sunny side of the house offers two BBQs and a picnic table with umbrella. There is also an all-season fire pit with four Adirondack chairs – a perfect place to find anchor as you lose yourself in the sea of night sky as it opens a panoramic view of darkness and splendor.

Inside offers surprising space and luxury. The front door opens to a vaulted great room with beautiful pine floors, tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, exposed beams, and a wall of windows that displays the natural beauty outside. The centerpiece of the great room is a two-story, semi-round window to brighten the space. The kitchen is ready for real cooking. It is fully stocked with quality pots and pans, bake ware, cookie sheets, serving dishes, plates, utensils, wine glasses, etc. The pantry has a fairly extensive spice selection and basic staples.

Other amenities include soapstone countertops, a six-burner gourmet gas range/oven, Keurig coffee maker, large refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, toaster, measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls, and food storage containers.

The master suite in the loft is warm and inviting. It features wood floors with oriental rugs, a walk-in closet, a sturdy king bed frame made from repurposed barn wood and a plush memory foam pillow top mattress, a spacious private bath with twin vessel sinks and separate shower. The loft also features a cozy chilling area with a TV and DVD player and sofa (along with my epic selection of movies).

The first floor also has a cozy bedroom with two pillow top twin beds and its own private bath featuring a 16” rain shower.

H’Owl at the Moon also has a top of the line amp and speakers connected to a record player along with a collection of classic vinyl and a Bluetooth adaptor for streaming from your phone or tablet. Bring your own, or check out something from our collection of DVDs, books, and records.

We want your stay at H’Owl at the Moon to be as relaxing as possible. That starts with eliminating things to pack. The cabin is thoroughly stocked with bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, dish soap, body soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, toilet paper, paper towels, first aid kit, dishwasher detergent, etc. Beds always have freshly laundered sheets, and there are varieties of pillows and blankets to satisfy various preferences stored in the closets. H’Owl at the Moon Cabin is a rare blend of rural tranquility with pampered luxury. It offers all the privacy and solitude of a mountain retreat without giving up any of the comforts of home. We invite you to come and experience its magic.

*** Note that this listing is 'pets considered' please do not send a booking request without first sending an inquiry. I need to know the type and number of pets prior to booking. I don't charge a pet fee but am selective about the number and type of pets I will allow.

*** The stuffed bears you see in cabin were both rescued from a trash pile. I figured that rotting in a garbage heap was about the worst fate for them so I rescued them and brought them to the cabin where we can honor their spirits.

*** There are security cameras on property. They are all external only and there are no cameras or recording devices inside the cabin. The external cameras will be disarmed during your stay (they are only there to monitor the property when the cabin is unoccupied and will be rearmed upon your departure)

Beautiful Secluded Getaway
We were looking for a quiet cabin to spend a long weekend away from the day-to-day “reality”, we were not quite expecting just how satisfying this cabin truly was. It allowed us to disconnect and rejuvenate our souls and find peace in an otherwise hectic life The cabin is beautifully equipped with a more than ample kitchen to prepare meals, quiet sitting area outside the bedroom to read, watch movies or just enjoy each others company and the second bedrooms access to their own bathroom would come in handy to anyone traveling with others. We took advantage of the grill and fire pit to prepare meals and enjoyed the wood stove giving that extra warmth in the mornings and evenings. The hiking trails were well laid out with a leisurely stroll through the nearby woods and fields. And even enjoyed the simple trips down the lane to visit the sheep and just sit by the pond and listen to NOTHING! If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway, this is the perfect place. Be prepared for little to no cell signal, but you can connect to wifi for emergency calls if needed. The overall cabin was very clean and well kept and would without a doubt recommend to anyone. This was our first stay but look forward to returning soon.

Excellent location!
Cabin is in a great location, not too close to anything and not too far away. Very clean and well appointed. Host has everything you need for your stay. We loved the record player and albums. Wood stove was so nice. My husband was excited to find a yoga mat in the closet to do his stretches! The property was just beautiful. The weather was rainy but we still were able to explore a little. Lovely waterfall and pond. Hoped to catch some fish but maybe next time! Highly recommend this rental!!!

We absolutely loved staying at H’Owl at the moon farm. My husband, me and our dog came to enjoy a few days of peace away from everything. Bill is a wonderful host and has thought of everything you would need. The house is beautiful! The property is even better. We really enjoyed hiking as well as just relaxing on the deck. We will definitely be coming back

Country escape
Directions were on point. Loved the location of the cabin at the top of a hill with fields and woods all around. Great firepit out back that we enjoyed to the fullest! I’ve never seen so many blue jays in one place plus woodpeckers (or some relation). Would love to return in the spring or summer to enjoy the porch and hammock. My friend and I were visiting friends in the area. We toured Scottsville as well as one of the wineries. Next time, we’ll do some tubing!

What an amazing time we had. The home was well appointed with everything we needed. The owner takes pride in his property and gives a lot of personal touches for his guest. The trails were trimmed and easy to follow. My communication with the owner was nothing short of awesome. He was responsive preparing us so we had a complete understanding of everything. We will be back that is for sure. Do yourself a favor and rent this place and don’t look back. It’s well worth the visit.

Absolutely perfect getaway!
First of all it’s a gorgeous cabin. It’s spotless, full of charm and has everything you need to make your vacation memorable. A very comfy king bed upstairs (another bedroom downstairs) and a huge kitchen. The location is ideal as well. Great vineyards and a wonderful pizza place are just a short drive away. In the cabin it’s dead quiet and outside you’ll just hear wildlife. I got buzzed by hummingbirds checking me out while I was sitting on the back deck. We saw a pheasant while walking by the stream. On a clear night the stars are spectacular. It’s definitely high on my list of places where I’ll be back again.

Awesome 4 days
H'owl at the Moon was a fantastic place to celebrate my wife's 69th birthday. The cabin has everything you need and is very clean. You can get to numerous breweries wineries and Charlottesville in less than 40 minutes. The best part was that the 4 days seemed like 7 days, time does stand still here. For information to anyone that watches the video that Bill has posted, I was afraid that it would be difficult to drive it at night but as Bill told me it was not.
