We have private rentals on our working horse farm and non-profit animal rescue. Whether biking the Virginia Creeper Trail, canoeing/tubing the New River, hiking Grayson Highlands State Park/Appalachian Trail, or choosing a personally guided horseback ride amongst the wild pony herds, at the end of the day let nature call you home as you drift to sleep with the night serenade of crickets and frogs. Enjoy quiet seclusion and escape the reality of the fast-paced life to recharge and reset yourself at Rugby Creek. Visit our website for information/fees on Vacationing with your Horse at https://rugbycreek.com/horse-boarding.Experience Tiny Home living Pondside! Enjoy amazing nature sounds, star gazing and pastoral horse farm views! It is located only a few miles from Grayson Highlands State Park which is known for its vistas and wild ponies. Take time to explore Mount Rogers National Wilderness area, The Appalachian Trail, The Virginia Creeper Trail and The New River. Close to wonderful restaurants, breweries and quaint towns. The Pondside Tiny Home features hardwoods, the upstairs loft has a king size sleep number (note the loft is short and is basically a crawl in/out from the custom library ladder from main floor), full bathroom with walk-in shower, 3 comfortable bench couches with views of the pond and horse farm, a Smart TV and Wifi access (please note that we are very rural and Wifi/streaming can be slow at times) and it has a mini split Heat/AC. The kitchenette is stocked with basic needs to prepare meals and has a coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave, toaster and two burner hot plate. Outside on the deck (overlooking the Pond) is a gas grill with patio table and chairs. The yard is spacious and has a fire pit area to enjoy. Guest Access: • The Tiny Home and its yard, deck, parking, outdoor seating/fire pit are all privately yours to enjoy. • The tiny home sits RIGHT ON THE PONDSIDE so you can also enjoy the pond views, sounds and watching the fish (NO fishing or swimming/wading allowed). We do provide a lifesaving buoy in case of emergency. • The Pond area is shared with another rental, the Gypsy Wagon, but it is located on the opposite side of the pond so that you and the guests at the Wagon each have a very private setting. Other Things to Note: • The bedroom is a LOFT. You must climb a small (sturdy) custom library ladder to access the loft. The loft itself boasts a king sleep number bed, however the space is small and short (watch your head), so it is a crawl in/out style loft. • *Hot Water* while we DO have hot water, it is a small holding tank so showers won't stay hot for long periods of time without the tank filling back up - so if you want a 30 min hot shower and so does your partner/friend then this is not the space for you. • This Tiny Home is built to host two people but if you bunk in together well it can host four total. If four guests, two will have to sleep on the sofa which is a |_| shape, one person on each side. • We also have Overnight Walk in Sheds so you can BRING YOUR OWN HORSE (for additional fee) - or there are Horse Rental Rides nearby. • Though we love dogs and animals - this tiny home is not pet-friendly. • Quiet time is 10pm-7am • This is a working farm, and you may occasionally hear horses, donkeys, dogs, and farm equipment.

Horse Stable Hookup

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

We stayed at the horse barn RV hookup. The facility was wonderful. We were surrounded by rescue animals and had the pleasure of playing with the litter of puppies on the premise; a highlight of the trip for my boys. The host was kind and gave us a tour of the farm including the mountain top cabin with beautiful views (including a rainbow). We were close to many parks and trails which we enjoyed. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful mountain stay.

Horse Stable Hookup

My son loved being on the farm! We were surrounded by wildlife, beautiful rolling hills, and a very nice breeze. We saw puppies, cats, pigs, chickens, and horses. Everyone we encountered was very nice and accommodated us in every way they could. Very close to Grayson Highlands, which we visited twice during our visit.

Gypsy Wagon - Tiny Home by the Pond

Soak in the surrounds and be AMAZED

A warm welcome for a late night arrival. Everything was perfectly setup to make us feel at home in an instant. The magic really begins when upon morning light when we could soak in the surrounds and be AMAZED! Beauty is every you can see and that's just the start. This is a real working farm with rescue animals and they are something to behold. When it was feeding time we met the host who couldn't have been nicer and was happy to answer the toughest of questions consisting of what are the animal's names - some of them are celebrities in their own right. Explore the grounds, make some animal friends, enjoy and repeat. Whatever stress you may have come with dissolves in an instant.

Great time

Secluded and relaxing. Was just right for a long weekend. Horses were a plus grazing right next to us on a rolling green hill.

Pondside Tiny Home Grayson Highland

Loved our stay! The cabin is great. It is well stocked with kitchen supplies and bedding. The fridge was big (for a mini fridge) and has a separate freezer portion. The smart TV worked well and internet was really fast. We enjoyed a fire in the metal pit one night. The deck with patio furniture was a nice place to enjoy the view over the pond. It is on a farm rescue so there were animals in surrounding fenced areas. It was nice to watch them, especially the mini horse, Flame, as he had a funny personality. We stayed 3 nights and it was very quiet, even during the day. The people living there were close by but didn't bother you if you didn't want company. I'd love to stay again. It's a great place to get away and relax.

Gypsy Wagon - Tiny Home by the Pond

The gypsy wagon home was perfect for our trip! My kids loved the puppies and everything was clean. We enjoyed a fire a night and it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. We will definitely come back to stay.
