About this house rental

Located just minutes from Old Rag Mountain, Whippoorwill Manor Farm is a destination that affords the rare experience to rent your own farm for a week or a weekend. The house was completely restored in 2005 adding a new addition that houses a large modern kitchen, and 3 full baths (over 3,800 sq. ft). One of Washington's top interior decorators designed the home specifically with the idea of family/friends use. Thus, the home has maintained its unique historical charm to include its wide hickory planked floors, log cabin rooms with stone fireplaces, and hand crafted wood work throughout the home. The original part of the house (log cabin) dates back to the 1700's and is the second oldest structure in Madison County. The farm even has a game building out back that's great to enjoy a drink while playing foosball or shuffleboard. There is also a professional outdoor ping pong table. The house has all the modern conveniences to stay connected including, direct TV and wireless internet (Please not that Broadband internet is not available in this area). Please note that this property is not set up to host weddings/events.

Great nearby outdoor activities such as: climbing Old Rag MT (the most spectacular hike in VA) or hiking White Oak Canyon to see its impressive upper and lower waterfalls, both parking lots are approximately 7 miles from the house both located in Shenandoah National Park. Whippoorwill Manor Farm is just minutes from Graves Mountain Lodge, Prince Michel, Sharp Rock, DuCard Vineyards and Shotwell Run Brewing.

Our objective is to treat our guests the same as we would our extended family/friends that come and visit the farm. Therefore, the important essentials are provided which includes: linens, towels, blankets, essential paper products, cleaning supplies, some laundry detergent, coffee, spices and condiments (no guaranteed stock), charcoal, lighter fluid and wood for fire place (some local cabins charge $40.00 just for the firewood). There is also a 25 pound a day ice maker. To assist in keeping the cleaning fee modest, you will need to make your own bed. Covers and blankets are on the beds with its sheets folded at the base. Finally, our Caretakers (Bill and Delores) live nearby and are available to personally address any concerns or questions you may have. Please be advised that the farm has the best available Internet in Madison County but it is not city speed and is not unlimited so we request you download videos prior to visit and not conduct gaming during stay.

The property is only 15-20 minutes from the historic towns of Culpepper, Madison and Sperryville, ideal for shopping and quality restaurants. Additionally, it serves as a perfect home vacation site to explore the many historic landmarks of the Shenandoah Valley and its vast natural beauty.

Come enjoy this truly unique and beautiful property for a peaceful and fun vacation or come with a group of friends for a long weekend to hike, bike, and enjoy each other with a number of local attractions and activities. On the property, there are a number of activities to enjoy such as corn hole, volleyball and horseshoes. In the evenings, the fire pit is a wonderful place to tell stories and share experiences year round. The house has a full back up generator in the event power is lost so your stay will not be disrupted if a major storm strikes.

For cycling enthusiasts from other parts of the country, the mountain scenery coupled with the quiet, safe, country roads are a national treasure to be experienced. The very popular Tour de Madison Bike Ride (held in mid-May every year), and the ride enjoys national stature. The Tour is not a race, but rather designed as a wonderful way to see the great scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. They have routes for the entire family; you can choose between 16, 40, and 62 miles along country roads. If you can't make the actual weekend, the owner will provide you with the specific routes of the Tour so can enjoy them during your stay. Your group could even do a different 'century' every day for a week and beyond the initial few miles leaving/returning to the house; you will not have to cover the same ground twice!

We absolutely loved the place!! The hosts did not forget anything and provided all the essentials. They prepared us very well on what to bring. We loved reading the book about the family and home. We were there for my daughters wedding and wished we had more time to just hang out on the property and explore the many trails around it. It truly was a beautiful place!! Our whole family said that we would love to come back(maybe when it isn't as hot). Thank you for providing a wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

This is our second time back to Whippoorwill Manor Farm for our annual family vacation. This house and property quite literally have everything to keep kids and adults entertained. Bikes, game room, sauna, sports/activities galore, trails, wildlife (bears too!), fire pit, outdoor seating, and acres upon acres to let the kids play like kids should. There is just so much room inside and out- great for large gatherings. The house is so well appointed with anything you might need…especially the kitchen. The entire process from booking to departing was smooth. We’ve been holding our annual family vacation with a house rental for 14 years now, and this is by far everyone’s favorite property. If you are looking to unwind and have some fun with friends and family- this is the place. Private, quiet piece of property…but not too far from groceries, hiking, tubing, wineries, and many other activities!

We've been staying at WMF for years, and it always blows us away how pristine, comfortable and peaceful it is. A close second is how well appointed it is, so many things are provided (from a top brand of charcoal for the grills to every kitchen gadget imaginable to robes for the sauna), you really only need to show up with the clothes on your back. The owner, Eric, is responsive and friendly, and the caretakers are equally so. The whole experience is truly a gift!

This was everything a group of 20s-30s guys could ask for in a location to get together and relax. Ladies weren’t there, but I’m sure they would have loved it too. Perfect location. Beautiful scenery. Wonderful lookout for morning coffee. Fire pit, games, sprawling lawn, access to hiking and dirt biking trails, big kitchen full of appliances. Great showers. Sauna. Far enough away to feel like an adventure, but close enough to be convenient. Everything was spotless on arrival. The whole property was full of amenities and extra little touches to make things more convenient. Great host. Very easy to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend for any occasion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. The house is so nice, the kitchen is so well appointed, they have thought of everything you might need. The range of activities was so fun from pickle ball, to darts, ping pong etc. we loved sitting at the deck at the top of the hill with the beautiful view of the mountains.

I stayed with my family (11 in total), ranging from 8 to almost 80 years old. Whippoorwill was a truly unique property, and experience, for us all. The home and area are beautiful and there's so much to see and do on the property. The home is incredibly well-stocked and the owner was fantastic to work with. We'll definietly return. Highly recommend!
