Wineries, Ski Lodges, 4 /5Star Restaurants, Hiking or catching up on that long-awaited best-seller: the Farm is the place to be.

Looking for the perfect family vacation? Want to getaway from the hustle and bustle: girls' weekend, special anniversary? Come and enjoy wineries, 4 Star restaurants, historic sites, hiking, tubing on a river or simply reading a good book.
The farm sits a half mile off the road and encompasses 154 acres, but with the nearby farms and forests and you are surrounded by more than 600 hundred acres. You may see turkeys, deer, horses galloping behind the hounds, an awesome view of the Milky Way or an extraordinary sunrise.
Enjoy the excitement of nearby attractions, then return to a bit of paradise at the end of the day.
Family Adventure!: Camp out, roast marshmallows, explore the fields and woods, identify constellations, stand on the deck and spot deer or turkey. It will be unforgettable. The greatest challenge will be getting everyone back in the car when it is time to leave.
Depending on the season, you can sled, hike, swim, fish, collect leaves or nuts, or a build a dam in the creek.
Nearby, you can hike Old Rag, swim in a mountain pool, ski at Wintergreen or Massanutten, or explore the Luray Caverns.
Perhaps an old fashioned Christmas holiday would be just the ticket.
Come and stay for a weekend or a month.
Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of rural life. Read, walk, watch, sit, write, paint or just listen; like a miracle, the stress will melt away.

It will be difficult to leave and we will gladly schedule your return.
Love History, Wineries and Fine Dining?: Use the cottage as your base and within a 50-mile drive in any direction the history of America will unfold.
Visit the Presidential homes of Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison, area Civil War Battlefields-Brandy Station, Wilderness, Fredericksburg- or quaint villages from another time- Little Washington, Sperryville or historic Culpeper.
How about museums? You will find them in Culpeper, Orange and Fredericksburg.
Wineries and 4-star restaurants abound in Culpeper, Madison, Rappahannock and Orange Counties.
You will need at least two full days just to scratch the surface on these excursions. We can assist with links for times, directions and contact info.

Aunt Judy's House (smaller cottage on the farm) is now available; please see VRBO.com/3468449ha for details.

Fresh air, rolling hills, close to hiking and wineries

Zann is a gracious and kind hostess and we now book her place every year for a wonderful Fall hiking weekend. The property has beautiful views, the comforts of home, and no fussiness. We love using it as a base of operations for hiking in Shenandoah National Park and look forward to telling stories and catching around the fire pit after a long day in the woods.

Cleanliness Issues, but beautiful views.

First the good: Beautiful farm and mountain views. Responsive owner who allows exploration of the farm property. Cute little dogs who like to visit. Now the issues... Cleanliness: piles of dog hairs kept accumulating throughout the house, toilets had hairs and splatter, bathroom sinks and showers contained hairs and whiskers. Argumentative Host: I raised the cleanliness issues with the owner our first morning, she diminished our concern, argued with me about the type of hair, and wanted to blame me b/c I asked to check in two hours early (which she could have said no to). She later offered to return for 10 mins and take care of cleaning. The issues were beyond what she would have personally been able to address in 10 minutes. Misleading Listing: The nicely landscaped yard with pool featured in photos is the owner's house; you cannot see that pool from your rental house. Proximity to other Guests: While it is a large beautiful farm, the two rental houses are right beside each other. This became awkward, especially as we used the firepit space at night, probably twenty feet from the other rental party's front porch. The dogs: The owner's two dogs have the run of the farm and can become a nuisance. They constantly try to get in the house, but we were instructed not to let them in b/c they aren't house trained. They peed on our deck. They chase your car as you arrive or leave. This resulted in guests next to us honking their horn as they tried to back out at 7a.m.

Culler girls wine trip

A challenge to find the first night in the dark. After that, no problem and convenient to our itinerary. Birthday and girls trip to visit wineries… so really only slept at property. Having to make up our own beds when we arrived late was a little surprising! And it would’ve been nice to have had coffee, a few creamers and sugars to start the first morning. Overall… very pleasant;)

Pastoral and quiet retreat

The property was in a beautiful setting, set among rolling hills dotted with cattle. There was a fox den in the cemetery and we were lucky enough to see a few kits the first evening of our stay. There was also a birds nest in the eaves of the porch. Pool was a short walk from the cottage and was over by the main house, but what a treat it was to have it all to ourselves, though I understand that is not always the case. House was a bit dated and furniture a little worn, but it was comfortable and well stocked. Even had a few toys for our kiddos to play with. Owner was incredibly friendly and helpful and while we were at the pool she stopped by to say hello and offer a few suggestions of activities

Gorgeous location

This is the third summer that my husband and I have spent at this magnificent farm, and we are completely smitten with it. The Judy house is very cozy and spotless. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, and you can choose between a charcoal or gas BBQ. We had a great time swimming in the pool. Around the property, there are many excellent vineyards and breweries. Additionally, the proprietor is really amiable, generous, and kind. I'll return there without a doubt the following year as well.

Beautiful wedding weekend

We had a lovely stay at the Cottage while attending a family wedding. The space was perfect for our two families: two adults and their two kids upstairs, and my husband, daughter, and I in the bedroom downstairs; each family had its own bathroom. The outside space was perfect for the kids to run around during the downtime in between wedding events.

Unbelievable views

What a beautiful property, we enjoyed two nights here for a girls trip. It was so wonderful to get away. The home has two electric fireplaces, an outdoor fire pit, gas grills - and we enjoyed them all. Walking the property was so nice and thanks to our hosts recommendation, we watched the sunset from the highest point of the property - breathtaking! We might need to make fall stays here a tradition.

Love this place

Just back from our second stay: the first with kids and the second with just adults and a dog. We find it perfect: a beautiful and peaceful setting which we use as home base for hiking weekends in Shenandoah National Park. The home and grounds are clean and comfortable. It's a spot for great meals, great conversation, a sunrise coffee/ sunset happy hour, finding a quiet spot to read or nap. Everything is clean and modern, yet not so fussy you feel anxious about putting your feet up or letting the kids touch anything. And Zann, the hostess, is great and fun to talk to if you get a chance. My only fear in recommending the place so highly is that it might not be available when we want to return! ;)

Pool on a Farm

Absolutely loved the salt water pool! We would have been in it even more but the weather didn't cooperate. The farmland is beautiful, quiet and restful. The Cottage was a good size for our group of 7. The basement bedroom/laundry room was not great. Several spiders, a mattress that wasn't comfortable. But the main floor and upstairs were good. We relaxed, fixed good food, enjoyed the slow pace and swam. A very good vacation!
