As city dwellers we wanted to experience a countryside getaway, as an alternative to our usual Chesapeake Bay Eastern Shore vacations.
The property was secluded and very private, much to our liking. Everything in the house was clean and in working order. The house itself is decorated with a mixture of antique furniture and interesting contemporary art pieces. The property grounds presented a delightful opportunity to experience amateur hiking, birdwatching and communing with nature. If you are an amateur astronomer, the open sky and lack of artificial lights presents a golden opportunity for celestial exploration. The screened-in terrace with rocking chairs and a hammock was perfect for lounging and resting. The wicker chairs on the hill offer a beautiful view and a place for reflection. The nearby creek grew to a soft roar in a storm that took place during our stay. A beaver visited the barn, and birds and butterflies were abundant. The property is close to the Shenandoah National Park and within 40 min of the breathtaking Luray Caverns. Art, coffee, brewery nearby completed the vacation experience. We experienced for the first time communication using the new SpaceX Starlink satellite internet service. We thoroughly enjoyed the relationship with nature in this well preserved 140 year old farm house.
