My family stayed for two nights over the holidays. Lisa was immediately responsive to our questions and needs. The central kitchen/living area was comfortable and perfect for coffee time in the mornings. We enjoyed watching the horses.

Had a great experience, Lisa was very patient and understanding with all my questions- the house was cute and tucked away. Plenty of room to walk- due to rain was limited.

We had an amazing stay! Everything was as pictured and as described. It felt like home away from home. We absolutely loved being able to see and pet the horses, definitely an added bonus for animal lovers. We would love to come back again sometime!

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.
