James River : locations de vacances dans des gîtes à la ferme

This house was a phenomenal stay for my wedding weekend. I love old southern houses and this place blew me away. Katie was very accommodating and responsive.

Our weekend girls' trip getaway to Susanne's pastoral family homeplace was absolutely wonderful, as this property is truly its own point of interest! While all bed/bath/kitchen provisions were top notch and well exceeded a typical amenity checklist, the thing that comforted us the most was a warm and open welcoming into the doors of this historic family home. From classic furnishings and sturdy wares, old photos and whimsical trinkets, interesting nooks and mysterious crannies, peaceful porch seating and delightful cow parades, abundant trees and beautiful flowers... we felt like we were right at home. Although we could have been perfectly content staying parked on the property our entire stay (and may plan to do just that for our next visit) we opted to enjoy a lovely drive for a day hike to a stunning waterfall in Shenandoah National Park, and went in to Charlottesville for some shopping on the pedestrian mall. We 100% recommend this historic property and Susanne's warm hospitality!

We enjoyed our stay at the farm with our three young children. They especially enjoyed seeing the animals around the farm. There were plenty of beds for everyone and lots of room to run around outside. Our gps took us right to the house despite not having internet. The only thing I would recommend is to head Adam’s warning when he says that the route Google often takes you through The George Washington National Forest can be treacherous. It would have been a lot less stressful of a drive if we had taken one of the other two recommended routes. Overall we had a pleasant stay and found the owners very friendly. We would stay again if in the area.

This place is absolutely stunning! Way better than the pictures. The views outside were amazing and the beautiful sound of horses in the background were so sweet! This place was perfectly located too! Spent the day in Stanton and another day in Lexington and everywhere in between including a beautiful drive over to Polyface Farm! Highly recommend!

Our family of four spent two nights at Callie's Cottage. We had a great time enjoying the trails, fishing the pond, and watching the horses. Our kids had a lot of fun playing in the treehouse. The house was cozy, clean and well appointed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brief two-night stay at the horse farm. So much better than a hotel. Peaceful, quiet, and how could you not like being greeted with a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies in the kitchen and chocolates at the bedside. We loved the horse-themed interior and all the thoughtful details throughout to make sure your stay is comfortable. It’s cozy but with room for all your needs. Don’t wait! Grab this one if you can! We plan to be back. 😊

The yurt was a cozy and comfortable place to make loads of great memories with our family. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and the accommodations and location felt magical. Our family enjoyed the easy walking trails, campfires, and the hot tub overlooking the mountains. We highly recommend this special spot!

The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful—exactly what we were looking for in a quiet weekend away. We enjoyed the grill and firepit, which were excellent for unwinding in the evenings. Restaurants and a grocery store were just a short drive away, making it easy to get what we needed. The house is old and has a lot of character, but it’s definitely not a luxury stay—more of a rustic, simple farmhouse. Still, it was clean, functional, and comfortable for our needs. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials, and check-in was seamless. We truly appreciated the quiet and the space, and I’d come back for another peaceful break.

Well kept and cozy home. Beautiful farm views in a peaceful country setting. We loved our stay here and plan to return again when visiting family.

If you’re looking for a unique, memorable travel experience, Strouds Creek Farm is a must-stay spot in a must-see town. Rustic yet comfortable, private yet welcoming, Anne Marie’s suite is nestled against a beautiful wooded backdrop, with a water view from the patio and a short, scenic walk to the stables. There, we were encouraged to join in the chores, and we had an absolute blast visiting with the horses and goats while engaging in warm conversation with our dynamic host. Even our 9-year-old was put to work, and was rewarded with an opportunity to hold the resident rabbit! Anne Marie has thought of everything here (the mattresses are awesome; the kitchen is well-equipped; there are two smart TVs), and is an expert guide on all things Hillsborough and its environs. We miss Strouds Creek Farm already and plan on returning as soon as possible!

Staying at Steven’s cottage felt like stepping into a little hidden world—quiet, peaceful, and full of character. There’s something about the land that immediately makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. The cottage itself is rich with history but also incredibly cozy and thoughtfully set up for comfort. We spent mornings (& evenings) by the lake, listening to the wind move through the trees, and eventually ended each night under the stars in the hot tub. We kept saying how there was no need to go anywhere—though everything is nearby, we didn’t want to leave. Everything we needed to relax was right there. We were outside hiking trails, swaying in hammocks, soaking up the views, and enjoying the fire pits. The axe throwing game was such a fun surprise, and inside, the glow of the gas fireplace made everything feel extra cozy. Steven is a great host—& takes pride in his beautiful piece of land. More than a stay—it’s a full experience, and one we won’t forget anytime soon.

Our stay with Steve and Debbie was absolutely amazing! Their home was charming, spacious, and perfect for our girls' trip of four. We had more than enough room to relax and unwind, and there was plenty of parking, which made everything so easy. One of our favorite parts was sitting outside on the lawn chairs, soaking in the beautiful scenery — it was so peaceful and refreshing. Lots of great spots to head to all 30min and under. Pippin Hill was only 10min away! Everything about the stay was wonderful, with no complaints at all. We are already talking about when we can come back. Thank you, Steve and Debbie, for such a memorable and relaxing getaway! --- Would you like one that's a little even more bubbly too, just in case?

This rustic, cozy, and thoughtfully designed tiny house is truly a peaceful retreat. The host was incredibly responsive and met me at the entrance to ensure I knew exactly where to go, making my arrival effortless. The layout is beautifully arranged, with sleek countertops, a comfy living area, and a perfectly positioned bed. The bathroom is cute with little amenities, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The private deck, grill and hot tube area is a peaceful spot to relax. I highly recommend this serene and charming tiny house!

My stay at Jennifer and Kyle’s Air B&B was excellent! Jennifer was great about messaging long before arriving (a few days before) to provide clear guidance and to answer any questions. The check-in was clear, and the response time to any questions I had was very quick. The stay was very clean when I arrived and it was quiet during my stay. I would enjoy coming to this place again. To future visitors, I recommend downloading your Google map prior to coming to prevent any issues with cell phone service in the surrounding area. I said hello to the farm animals before I left, and they treated me like I was a friend to them (although they were probably hoping for some food upon my greeting, which I did not have at the time, haha). Thank you for the suggestion to do Via Ferrata (it was booked up on Saturday but they had a last minute cancellation and fit me in to do it on my birthday (which was pretty awesome). Thank you for a memorable trip.

Our family had the most incredible stay at the cottage! We were greeted by the adorable Chrissy, the guard dog, and her pack of alpaca. After settling in, Brenda gave us a tour of the property and introduced us to her alpaca. They were incredibly friendly and so much fun to watch and interact with. We stayed here Easter weekend and the cottage was exactly as it was described in the post. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We even grilled one night. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable accommodations. We stayed here with two young children and their grandmother. Everyone enjoyed themselves! We definitely will be back!

The house is beautiful and it was very clean. The surrounding views are great and if it was warmer out we would have really enjoyed sitting out on the back porch area. We would definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.

This was such a beautiful home. The views were stunning, so quiet and peaceful. House was very clean, huge kitchen and dining space, with a cozy fire place. It's a little off the beaten path, but worth the drive! Culin was a great host, super responsive and had great recommendations for activities and food! All in all it was a great trip!!

Wonderful place in a very nice town. We had the best time trying different restaurants and relaxing around the cottage. Gita was super helpful and friendly, giving us plenty of recommendations. We will absolutely be back!

Lenah’s place was comfortable and clean. The location was ideal, for our visit, we attended a wedding at Great Marsh estates and it was less than a 5 minute drive.The apartment was also well-equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the outside area with cows, horses, goats, and Alpacas running around in the neighbors fenced yard. We enjoyed watching them while relaxing on the front porch. We also took a ride to Crockets Park and walked the trails and explored the park. It was a beautiful spot with a lake, pedal boats and canoe rentals when in season. I recommend Lenah’s place if you want to relax and enjoy nature.

A phenomenal stay! The place was SO clean and way more beautiful than pictured. Beds were comfortable, soaps/shampoos and towels were SUPER PLENTIFUL. Mike and Trish's hospitality was the best we've ever experienced at ANY AirBnB. Mike even spent a long time helping us install our bike rack in the dark because we were really struggling! They delivered a crock pot and tweezers (a child got a splinter) within minutes of us asking. Talk about customer service! We LOVED feeding their horses and our kids had the BEST time playing with their puppy. This was definitely the low key retreat we needed to get away from the hectic hustle and bustle of DC. Their location was wonderful for a 20 mile RT bike ride and hikes in numerous parks. We will definitely return again, it was a perfect weekend!

K-9 heaven was great! Very peaceful and beautiful scenery. Me, my partner and our lab were comfy in the small but cozy, clean cabin. The cabin is simple but homey! Larry had a little bit of spare firewood that was just enough for us to enjoy a small fire and some star gazing. It was little to cloudy for us to see much, but I can guarantee it would be amazing with clear skies! We had some rain on our last night and it was very relaxing and peaceful! 10/10 vibes. Our furry host, Bear, was very friendly with our dog and showed her around the farm. The horses near the cabin are friendly and love peppermints! Definitely check this place out as a home base for exploring Shenandoah National Park and Culpeper for tasty restaurants!

Everything was great! Very relaxing, private in the country. Everything you needed was within 15-30 minutes away. Very close to the mountains for hikes, historic areas and the Virginia Scenic Railway train ride in Staunton, Va. The train was an hour drive, but you see a lot of the area either by back country roads or interstate. Host had lots of pamphlets, books and other information for your stay, good if you have never been to the area. Enjoyed the Shenandoah area again.

We loved our stay at Sarah’s place! She put in a lot of effort to make sure we felt right at home. After a long trip walking into a beautifully decorated place with a fire (electric), Christmas lights, cookies, and spinning disco ball was so perfect for me and my kids :). My daughter wanted to collect eggs from their chicken coop and Sarah and her family made that happen for her. We loved petting and feeding the alpacas every morning. Everything was very comfortable. 10/10 experience. Thank you Sarah and family!

Good morning! I was the groom and the groomsmen also stayed there. It was fantastic a fantastic area to do photos and very laid back.
