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.

Fresh organic greens are available for picking on site throughout the year. 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 the third floor and floor fans on all floors. 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!

Excellent quaint getaway
We had a great time at this adorable farmhouse! Our family of 5 enjoyed cooked meals together at the table, tea and coffee every morning, and board games every night! Tom was extremely hospitable and made sure our stay was perfect!

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!

Amazing! Highly recommend!
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!

Fun Weekend in the Country
Had a nice peaceful stay at this beautiful historic house. Plenty of room with comfortable beds for all of us and beautiful new bathrooms. Love all the coffee nooks (3). Lots of games and books in the cozy living room upstairs. We picked lots of apples right on the property!
