The Cottage at Still Pond Farm – Horse Farm near Charlottesville & Shenandoah

Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is located close to the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville, UVA and Virginia’s wine country. Our peaceful countryside farm offers ever-changing mountain vistas, wooded trails, and a calming rural escape.

Still Pond was designed by renowned landscape architects Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a misty morning, the landscape offers breathtaking views in every season. Wildlife can be seen and heard all around the farm, and the sky—whether filled with stars or a glowing moon—is always spectacular. It’s an ideal setting for birdwatching, wildlife observation, stargazing, or simply soaking in the serenity of peace and quiet.

Our cozy two-story cottage with a loft and wraparound porch is comfortably furnished for a relaxing getaway. Located near the horse stables, the cottage offers easy parking and views of the barn, paddocks, 60-foot round pen, and natural pond. A wooded border behind the cottage adds privacy and a sense of peaceful seclusion—perfect for nature lovers and stargazers alike.

Come experience the quiet beauty and tranquility of life on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you!

Lovely horse farm and peaceful! I was disappointed in the Mountain View as advertised. The stunning mountain view was from the owners house. Overall it was very enjoyable.

We had a great time at this property. Perfect quiet farm setting and well located to visit some of the wineries north or the Charlottesville area.

Great place for a family getaway … beautiful farm setting, mountain views, and plenty of wildlife in the area - we saw wild turkeys walking 20 feet from the dining room windows, and many deer on the morning walks. Charming cottage, plenty of room for our party of six. Clean and well equipped with modern appliances and air conditioning. The best part was the friendly cat that will greet you every morning on the front deck! Great location to visit the area wineries, tour Skyline Drive, or hike the mountain trails that are nearby.

We had a great time at Still Pond. The cabin is accurately described in the post and really has everything one would need for a stay away from home. The host is very responsive, understanding, and generous in sharing this unique property nestled on a beautiful horse farm in the Virginia countryside.

My family of four had a wonderful time at the Still Pond Farm Cottage in Stanardsville, VA. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace, the comfortable beds, and the friendly cats that greeted us every time we returned to the cabin from going out and about.

We had so much fun visiting the wineries near Charlottesville. This property was a picturesque farm setting nearby and the log cabin was clean, roomy and filled with all the things we needed for our weekend. Our host responded to all of our questions timely and helped us when planning our stay. We would definitely visit again!

Our stay was wonderful and more then we had hoped for! The house is surrounded by beautiful horse pastures. The house was roomy enough for our family of 7. The wrap around porch was great to sit and relax.

If your looking for a peaceful lovely place to stay in a rural setting but just a short drive to Charlottesville and Skyline Drive and all they have to offer, this is it. Have stayed in many VRBOs in the past and this was one of the very best. We will be back. Also should mention this is centrally located in Virginia wine country.

Stunning cottage. The photos do not do it justice. It is beautifully appointed and super clean. The property is beautiful, and having horses in the fields and a friendly barn cat walking around made it even more inviting and beautiful.

Four long time friends met for a wine country visit in this charming home in the horse country. Our hosts were wonderful and the cabin was just lovely. The horses on the property, the privacy and beautiful setting was great. We visited many local wineries and toured Charlottlesville and UVA. Sitting on the porch sipping wine, walking the grounds and seeing the horses made for a relaxing and enjoyable time.

My college friends and I had an incredible time exploring Charlottesville from the cottage at Still Pond. The home itself is beautiful and welcoming, and Smokie the cat was a real highlight. We loved the wraparound porch and beautiful scenery. Joanna was swift and communicative, and even brought us a new Keurig machine the day ours broke. I can’t recommend enough! Thank you, Joanna!

All was good with my stay but we had a few minor issues / suggestions. The upstairs shower did not have hot water. I would call it lujr warm. All the other shorts and sinks had plenty of hot water. One suggestion to the owner would be to have window treatments on the front main window. In the late afternoon the reflection off of the roof across the parking area creates a pretty bad glare.

We decided to visit Charlottesville after other plans got cancelled. In a quick decision we chose this place as we did not want to stay in a hotel in the heart of Charlottesville. Prior to our arrival, Joanna (owner) contacted me about issues with the wifi. She took care of it asap and let us use her hot spot so that we had our wifi, which was so nice since my son had to address some work issues. Otherwise, no wifi would have been fine with us! As you turn off the road and drive on a long gravel road, you are surrounded by pastures with beautiful horses on either side. Near the cottage are the stables. Upon entering the cottage, we were greeted by the sweetest cat named Smokey. The aroma of a wood cabin and the quaint ambiance of the living area was delightful. The beds are comfy and the cottage was clean and inviting. The true highlight for our trip was visiting the horses every night. This cottage is very private. We never saw Joanna though know that if we needed anything she was immediately responsive. The only person we met was the barn manager Bailey. She told us about the horses and it was a pleasure meeting her. This is a working farm, so respect for the animals and following the rules set by the owners is important. The only complaint I have is that we had to head back home and leave! We all miss seeing those magnificent horses.

This was a beautiful property with a cozy cabin. We enjoyed the friendly horses and Smokey the cat. It was quiet and relaxing and just what we needed for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of life. We’d definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys country living and beautiful, quiet spaces.
