Great stay, highly recommended!
From the cleanliness of the property, to the little touches throughout. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our state. Located on a active horse ranch, we really felt like we managed to get away from it all on our stay. We even took advantage of the available Horse Trail rides, and everyone had a great time.

We loved staying at this cabin. The farm is beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed swimming in the river and taking a walk. It was so relaxing and wonderful. And it is so good to know that host is at a stone throw if we needed anything. We would definitely stay there again.

This is an excellent property with much to see from landscapes to animals. The home is well equipped and clean. The amenities are plentiful. We cannot wait to return. This could be an annual destination. Lisa was very responsive to questions and accommodating to several itinerary changes.

We had a terrific visit at the horse farm. Had more than enough room for everyone. Hostess was great and friendly. We enjoyed horse rides and just being out in the country. We highly recommend this property if you want to disconnect from daily hassles for a few days.

Lovely getaway
We stayed at the property for two night to visit JMU, which is about 25 minutes away. There was ample space for 5 people with three bedrooms and two full baths. The convenience of having a washer/dryer was great and the house was clean. There were plenty of dishes and mugs, but a coffee pot would be a nice addition. Lisa was very responsive and a very sweet hostess! The horses and dogs were a nice bonus! Bring carrots if you want to feed them!

Nice gateway property 25 mins from the resort
Very nice relaxing property with beautiful horses. Could not heat up the grill well (something was wrong with It) and not enough hot water (could use a bigger water heater) would be the only two things that we were able to survive withouts, oh plus a coffee machine. All things considered we had a great time at the property.

A Magical Place
A very magical place. We loved all the horses and dogs and walking down by the river. The fire ring was very nice. It was 29 degrees and windy when we were there, so we did not light a fire, but we sat around it and plan to build one just like it. The house had all sorts of cute wall canvases/photos of the dogs and horses. Everything was well thought out in the house. We had everything we needed. We are definitely planning on returning.

JMU Visit with Downtime
The back house is quiet, charming and surrounded by beauty. I stumbled on the listing when I was late to reserving our visit with my son who attends JMU. He enjoys getting away from the campus and exploring the area. The property is about 25 minutes away and a scenic drive with views of pastures and the mountains. We spent time visiting with the horses and checking out the river and our sons enjoyed the fire pit one night (the view of the stars is amazing). The house itself is spotless, comfortable and well equipped. Lisa, the host is welcoming and responsive. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Horse Farm Heaven
The property was exactly as advertised. The house is welcoming with all the amenities. You feel like you're in the middle of no where but no more than 20 minutes from everything you need or want. The horses and goats were tons of fun to visit with. We enjoyed a trail ride, an evening by the fire, and a walk by the river. Lisa was great and super easy to get in touch with. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

Great base for local activities!
My friends and I used the house as a jumping-off point for fishing some trout streams in the area, especially Mossy Creek. The property was quiet and peaceful. The house was immaculately clean, and the air conditioning kept us cool during a brutal heat wave that had scorched the area.

Stunning location and great proximity for fun!
Magical spot; great house with everything you need…peaceful; you can walk to the river in the company of friendly adorable animals….,beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This is our second time in six months we have stayed here. With kids aged 15, 17, and 18… we ALL love it. We snowboarded in February and kayaked in August! Bonfire in back yard with spectacular stars, with horses snorting near by. Antiquing and caverns nearby, too! We can’t wait to go again!
