Beautiful historic 1916 Farmhouse and Country Home in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Beautiful, authentic, historic Farmhouse and Country Home (circa 1916) on 45 forested acres at the foot of a tall mountain with a pristine stream that runs in front of the home. Located in Manassas Gap, gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley, directly across the valley from historic African Mountain and the Southern Appalachian range. Located in a biodiversity hotspot near many historic landmarks, parks, trails, rivers, farms, country kitchens, and festival locations.

A wide range of fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, eggs, and home cooked goods are available in several nearby locations, along with farm to table restaurants. Seasonal festivals in nearby towns are very active!

Fully restored three-level working farm home with three porches, a full kitchen, and large living areas to accommodate eight people, with air conditioning for all three bedrooms and floor fans in all rooms. Bedding includes two Queen beds and one Full bed, as well as two extra large twin bed cots with memory foam mattresses and a deluxe inflatable twin bed (all with pillows, blankets, and linens). A picnic table and fire box with chairs is located by the creek. Enjoy breakfast or a drink on Adirondack chairs on a wooden bridge over the stream at the opening of the woods. The back porch faces the woods and is open-air.

The front porch on ground level overlooks a stream complete with chairs and side tables for dining. The glassed porch on the second level overlooks the mountain and has a table and chairs for a meal with a sitting area and coffee station. The kitchen has a full suite of appliances, including a bread maker with cooking supplies (yeast, flower, etc.), and crock pot. Coffee bars on each floor of the house are stocked with coffee, tea, and creamers and supplies. Well water from the tap is purified though a dual water treatment and high density filtration system and tested.

Located within 30 minutes of over 100 unique local attractions including rivers, parks, orchards, wineries, historic areas, local shops and boutiques, antique stores, restaurants, wildlife areas, national forests, farm produce, and farm-fresh markets including seasonal pick-your-own fruits, and festivals. A peaceful, quiet, serene, majestic, friendly, safe environment that is easy to reach but feels far away.

A great place to get a good night's sleep and reconnect with family, nature, and friends. Visits by native wildlife on the grounds provide an opportunity to treasure and care for the creation and enjoy it close-up!

Beautiful, cozy home
This property was absolutely breathtaking! Nestled in the heart of the mountains, it was the perfect getaway to experience nature at its finest. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the surroundings. The home itself was impeccably clean, with every detail taken care of, making it feel so warm and welcoming. The Halloween decorations were a perfect touch for this fall getaway! The mountain views were spectacular, and with the fall season in full swing, we were treated to vibrant colors that seemed straight out of a postcard. The reds, oranges, and yellows of the foliage created a stunning backdrop. The property’s interior was just as gorgeous as its setting. The decor was thoughtfully chosen, blending rustic charm with modern amenities, making it feel both cozy and luxurious. We felt right at home with the comfortable furnishings, fully equipped kitchen, and the fireplaces that made for perfect evenings after a day of exploring. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay or a more beautiful location. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking to escape into the beauty of nature and experience the magic of fall in the mountains. We will absolutely be returning!

Lovely Home
We enjoyed the stay at this house. It is tucked away up a beautiful tree lined lane and thus is secluded and quiet. The house was clean and welcoming. All the listed amenities were present and plentiful. We had a little trouble at first connecting to the Wifi. I messaged Tom ( the owner) and he was quick to respond and the problem was resolved. I would recommend this property and if we return to the area we would certainly stay here again.

I would not hesitate to recommend.

Great week-end getaway
The farmhouse was charming. The host has done a great job of updating the rooms and bathrooms while still keeping the charm of an 1800s farm house. The location was perfect for visiting wineries, orchards and upscale restaurants in nearby Marshall. There were 6 of us and it never felt crowded.

Relaxing Retreat
The property is a beautiful farmhouse. The owner has done a great job on giving it creature comforts. Property is very private with a cute stream and hiking trail on the property. We knew that the owner wanted to meet at us at check in, however we are very used to and love contactless check-ins, we did find that less than ideal to coordinate and meet a stranger after 10 hours of driving. We will probably stray away from that requirement in the future.

Beautiful & cozy getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay, the secluded historic property is so comfy and beautiful! Perfect for a relaxing weekend with friends or family. We even got to see snow before leaving and it was gorgeous! The beds are really comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows, and seating as well as 3 coffee/tea makers (1 on each floor). The patios are also perfect for sitting and enjoying nature with breakfast. The host is so welcoming and kind and he made sure we had everything we may need. He even educated us on the history of the house and all of the wild animals you may see in the area which was so cool. We would definitely book here again, thank you for having us!

Beautiful home and an amazing visit. Tom is such an attentive, responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Great deal too given the amount of space in the house and on the property. We had 8 people with our group and plenty of space for everyone. Hiking on the property was absolutely fantastic and the views are spectacular. The home is spacious, clean, and comfortable, making this the perfect place to spend time with loved ones. We had everything we could possibly need during our stay and even got to make homemade bread in the bread maker! Thank you so much for letting us stay here we had so much fun and would love to come back soon :)

Rustic Secluded Historical Home
4 days of perfect weather in peak leaf color time. The house has an interesting history in its transition from a working farm to a place that maintains its historical past. Newer additions provide the basic needs for all who stay here. The amenities listed in the description are indeed all there with additional extra touches that will make staying there more enjoyable,,,especially for children. The property is spacious...45 acres of forest land on a mountainside. We didn't have time to explore it all. Good place to get away from crowds and enjoy nature in its simplest beauty.

Rustic feel
Unique, Rustic and quaint. Very private and a bit remote. Owner insists on in-person check in process which I have never experienced as a requirement when checking into a VRBO rental. This in turn requires a set time which was difficult for my group since we were horse showing at the Upperville show grounds. Comfortable amenities. 3rd floor shower extremely small. Hiking trails. 3 levels, therefore might not be suited for those who cannot use stairs. Otherwise, very nice.

The perfect mountain getaway!
We needed some quiet time away from the city and this could not have met our needs better. Beautiful, historic home was clean, spacious, and full of all the modern conveniences we needed. Plenty of space to roam the woods on the property, which is full of wildlife and beautiful scenery. And if you’re not familiar with the area, the host is historian-level knowledgeable and provides a long list of all you’ll need to know. Would love to rent it again, for sure!

AMAZING! I came here with seven friends for a long weekend getaway, and we had such a great time! From the moment we were greeted by our host to our checkout, our stay was fantastic. The home is gorgeous, clean, modern, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Tom was extremely attentive and made sure that we had everything we could want. There were plenty of supplies, including cooking ware, dishes, utensils, towels, linens, and beds for all of us along with hot chocolate, coffee, and tea on each floor. I was amazed at how clean this home was and how good it smelled, one of my friends asked if there were cookies in the oven when we walked in! It felt magical sitting next to the fireplace watching snow fall on the mountain and watching stars from the lawn. This cozy cabin is the perfect place to spend time with family and friends, highly recommend staying here!

Idyllic, so much to explore and enjoy at the property and nearby
The location was enough for us to book, but the home and property will be what definitely brings us back again. The front of the house is adjacent to a creek we can hear bubbling when we eat our meals on the front porch or second floor windowed porch. Deer, wild turkeys, and other animals scamper across the lawn and under the apple trees. The house layout allowed our very large family and occasional guests privacy and enough space and bathrooms for us to happily stay inside on rainy days. The kitchen bar is super convenient for breakfasts and quick meals and the kitchen is stocked with enough equipment to make elaborate meals when we wanted more. The house is located on the same road as Hartland Orchard for pick-your own fruits and veggies or farmstand purchases. Local farmers markets abound, and the nearby Giving Tree store carries fresh produce, local meats, and staples at fair prices. We also stocked up at Whole Foods in nearby Fair Oaks, 25 minutes away. Local fairs, festivals, and theme days kept us busy. A visit to Middleburg for a treat and playground visit was charming. Great Country Farms is free to veterans and their families on weekdays and has a great farm store with items from their farm as well as some staples. The hosts cared a lot about us making lasting memories for our family and sharing tips and history on the area. They are wonderful people and were available when we needed them.
