BE ADVISED - This is an actual honest to goodness working farm. It is not a piece a land formally known as a farm (there are many listings in Luray like this)...the animals here are living their best life in various stages of recovery or thriving each and every day.

The very first pony born on the farm arrived in August 2018 and was given the name, Madeline. She is the smallest of the ponies and the most outgoing. She loves apples and carrots.

Important to note: Toddlers under 3 and infants do not count towards our maximum of 12 guests since often they sleep with you or in your room.

Your life on the farm
• The garden provides a variety of food depending on the season and when fruits and vegetables are ready to harvest. I am happy to share with you info about what is ripe in the garden when you arrive. Eggs from the coop are gathered by someone in your group (or all of you) around 830am with me and our farm dog, Oliver on your first morning here. Bacon from the farm down the road is provided unless you requested otherwise. It will be found in the fridge when you arrive.
• In the evening, you are welcome to gather wood from our shelter and light the bonfire. I am happy to assist you with this experience if you need help. The ponies will gather nearby, as you gaze at the stars and roast marshmallows.
• The Sunset Hayride is the highlight of your stay. Typically, it lasts 30 – 45min and covers a wide expanse of the field. We try our best to time it to the sunset, but it is always dependent on weather and field conditions. This may require flexibility on your part or an understanding if we are unable to set sail. We do our best to make it happen and have a 95% success rate.

The farmhouse was updated with a mid-century modern vibe. The kitchen was appointed and designed by a local chef and the stunning farmhouse table was custom built for Madeline Farms using the wood right from the barn. The guest rooms rival any hotel accommodations with luxury bedding, our signature "Sleep Well" mattresses, spa robes and towels. Though you're on a farm, luxe amenities are included with your stay.

Farm Rules
• We value self-sufficiency and self-expression. Practice them here.

• We value compassion and patience and respect towards each other, animal or otherwise.

• Guest Farmers are welcome into the field with the animals only after getting permission from Farmer Tony or when he is with you. Do not cross any gates unless you have permission.

• Please leave the colognes and perfumes behind. The animals are sensitive to these fragrances. Plant based essential oils are always welcome.


• The barn, attic, basement and outbuildings should only be explored if Tony is with you.

• All guests are required to sign a farm waiver at check in.

• Have fun. Connect with the farm. Reconnect with each other.

• Madeline Farms is populated by many rescued animals. These beautiful creatures have endured hardship and neglect and are in various stages of recovery. They are home at last. All are expected to live long and full lives. Your participation in their care directly affects their health and happiness. It will affect yours as well.


Looking forward to seeing you at the farm!

There is plenty of parking at Madeline Farms. Entry into this beautiful farmhouse is through the Sunset Porch at the rear of the house.

I'm Tony, the Gentleman Farmer at Madeline Farms. I live in private quarters over the kitchen. I'm as much or as little of your experience on the farm as you'd like... While the house is exclusively yours during the stay, you're welcome to join me and meet the animals each day.

We are minutes from the charming town of Luray and situated in farm country...fields as far as you can see. Hiking the Shenandoah National Park or exploring the world famous Luray Caverns are only minutes away.

Need to cancel last minute? No problem. Guests may switch to any other available date with no penalty.

Many of our guests take advantage of the services offered by our private chef. Once booked, we will connect you with Chef Shy to discuss availability, menus and pricing. Treat yourself!
*Everyone visiting the farm must sign the Equine Farm Waiver per Virginia State law... I promise to keep you safe and you understand that being around horses and farm animals poses an inherent risk. So let’s all get along and have fun.

Up to TWO (2) dogs under the weight of 50lbs are allowed on the farm. They are never allowed on the beds or on the furniture. They must be on a leash outside at all times and will need to be moved to another part of the yard if they are scaring the ponies, chickens, cats or horses. The dog owner agrees to cover all damage to farm inside or out caused by the dog(s), including floors and carpets.

The dog must be crated or contained on the floor in a guest room, while the guests are not on the property.

Dogs are never allowed on furniture or beds at any time.
