About this farm stay rental

Serenity and Adventure on 130 Private Acres!

Escape to the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains and experience the magic of Virginia country living at our entirely renovated, historic 2 bedroom farm house. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a special place to celebrate, or a week-end retreat, you've come to just the right place!

Take advantage of all that nature has to offer by exploring our 130 acres of mountain forests, pastures, gardens, ponds, and historic structures. Watch the fireflies light up the starlit sky as you relax on the porch or on the magnificent covered dock. Hike our mountain trails. Swim, canoe, or fish in our fully stocked, 3 acre pond. Or roast marshmallows around the campfire and listen to nature's brilliant nighttime chorus!

Experience the amazing beauty of the surrounding countryside by visiting Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and 'Old Rag' Mountain only minutes away. Bike some of the most scenic country roads in the Mid-Atlantic region, visit award winning wineries, marvel at the Blue Ridge by horseback, and take home treasures from the many local art galleries and antique stores. If that isn't enough, expand your abilities with yoga lessons, art classes, and drumming circles. And, if relaxation is your primary goal, we will help you to arrange a massage, beauty treatment, or catering on the premises!

Enjoy the wide range of local dining options, from country bakeries, quaint diners, and gourmet eateries featuring local produce and meat, to world class dining at the Inn at Little Washington only 10 minutes away. If you'd rather prepare your own meals, you can do it in your modern, fully equipped kitchen featuring granite countertops and new cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Dining options on the farm range from picnics in the woods to romantic, candle lit meals on the dock or screened porch with views of the pond and the Blue Ridge.

In addition to a modern kitchen, our 1860's farmhouse features high speed Internet and new baths with whirlpool tub, pedestal sink, washer/dryer, and tiled floors and shower. Stone fireplaces and a wood stove add ambiance and warm you in winter, and ceiling fans in every room make the central air conditioning necessary only in the hottest days of summer. Lovely 19th Century wood floors grace the house throughout and historic, winding wood staircases lead to cozy but roomy bedrooms upstairs. Please note: The historic staircases uneven, narrow, steep, and open at top and bottom. They must be navigated with care and are unsuitable for small children and individuals with limited mobility or who need bedroom and bath all on one level.

The Farmhouse has 2 full suites, each with large eat-in kitchen, living area, screened porch, one large bedroom, and bath. The Pond View suite has a queen and twin bed, whirlpool tub and shower, and fireplaces up and downstairs, whereas the Mountain View side has a queen and double bed, large tiled shower, and wood stove downstairs.

The Farmhouse is perfect for a family and for sharing with friends. An adjoining door between the two living areas may be left open or closed for privacy. If you need additional space, see our Barn Loft #457779 and Historic Poorhouse #1674570.

Our 2 bedroom Barn Loft (VRBO #457779) has spectacular views of the Blue Ridge from every room. Entirely modern with glass front wood stove, slate and wood flooring, soapstone counters, and stainless appliances, this is a most special addition to our farm about an eighth of a mile from the farmhouse. The entirely renovated, Historic Poorhouse features a vaulted ceiling great room with kitchenette, stone fireplaces, a large bedroom on the first floor and a loft bedroom up steep stairs, plus one bath. While private, it is a short minute walk from the farmhouse.

Finally, if you would like to fully experience rural life, you are welcome to help us with the many projects that farm living offers, from gardening and caring for the animals to projects around our restored 1860s log barn. We will make every effort to customize your stay so that your experience is memorable! Friendly, well mannered pets that will not harm our farm animals are welcome. We are a non-smoking property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cardinal Springs Farm. The farmhouse is charming and immaculate, and Andrea is a warm and welcoming host. We appreciated the fresh eggs and ripe blackberries. Just wish we'd had time for a swim in the spring-fed pond! Would love to return in the fall.

Steven and Andrea made our stay the Farmhouse fantastic. From fresh cut flowers to letting us borrow some paddle boards for the lake, the stay was well worth the money. The perfect location to easily get to hiking, breweries, and good restaurants. My husband and I go to Sperryville often, so we hope to be back. If you are unfamiliar with the area, Steven and Andrea go out of their way to give you great information about where to explore. Be ready for spotty cellphone service and slower internet speeds. This location is perfect for an unplugged weekend with games, books, and exploring.

Kids really enjoyed time in the pond (canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing) this weekend. Baby loved time with the cats and baby goats/ducks. Fire pit with smores also a huge hit. Beautiful place and great hosts!

The farm was a wonderful spot for our family. The area is exceptionally beautiful, especially the farm, with its views of the Blue Ridge mountains, and its own rolling hills, bluebirds, farm animals, frogs, foxes etc. The animals were endlessly entertaining for my kids, and Andrea was very kind and welcoming, introducing us to the goats, chickens, mules, etc. The local sights were fun and interesting for us, including the Luray Caverns, and the local corner store and restaurants were great. The house is nice and functional, but there were some harmless bugs in the house that my kids were worried about. This is typical for a country house, but I thought I should mention it.
