This is the farmstay you imagined.

An artist and writer moved back to the land and crafted a private oasis—we are so excited to share this world with you!  Our 50 acre, biodynamically farmed family homestead is in the best part of beautiful Nelson County, Virginia, at the feet of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Escape to our unique, handcrafted guest cottage or historic 1932 Schoolhouse. 

Explore acres of woods, fields, mature gardens, and hiking trails on site, or take an easy walk to a large shared network of neighborhood trails. With high-speed fiber internet, our farm is private, beautiful, and connected.

A magical location, thoughtful interior design, unique art collection, quality bedding, well-stocked kitchen, and an historic sensibility make a stay here unlike any other in Nelson County.

This is mountain magic.
