Location:
I receive a few 4-star reviews for location every now and then so I want to take a moment to describe the location. The farm is in the countryside 10 minutes from Madison, VA. The nearest large towns are Culpeper and Charlottesville, both 35 minutes away. The farm is isolated intentionally to serve as an escape from the city. However, the farm is 5 minutes from Early Mountain Winery, 10 minutes from Bald Top Brewery, 12 minutes from downtown Madison dining, and 25 minutes to Old Rag Mountain. Unplug and enjoy the country life during your stay!
What IS Provided:
1. All linens, paper products, dishes & dozens of utensils, and towels (I get asked this a lot.)
2. Basic cooking supplies - oil, salt & pepper, ground coffee, tea, sugar, and coffee filters.
3. Propane for the outside grill.
4. Shampoo and body wash.
5. Cleaning supplies (should you need during your stay.)
6. Fresh eggs daily.
7. Fire-starters and lighters for the firepit.
What YOU should bring:
1. Firewood.
2. K-Cups if you prefer (the coffee maker uses both.)
3. River shoes or water socks for wading the river.
4. Bug spray in the summer months.
1. No rain checks, sorry.
2. Pets are not allowed on the property. This also includes support animals, as this is a working farm with livestock. A fine of $250 will be charged for any pets brought onto the property.
3. Wifi is available on the farm with speeds of 50+ mbps. Wifi is provided by Starlink so inclement weather can impact speeds, but rarely happens. Wifi does support Zoom calls.
4. Due to the farm's isolated location most cell phone carriers do not have reliable cell service. The wifi does support wifi-calling.
5. The tiny homes do not have cable or satellite television. An AmazonFire TV is included in each tiny home.
6. A private bridge provides access to the property and a weight limit of 15,000 pounds is enforced. Buses, delivery trucks, and RV's are not permitted to cross the bridge.
7. The farm utilizes well water that is high in iron. While completely safe to use, it does carry a unique taste and tends to stain plumbing fixtures. Brita water filters are provided and encouraged to use for drinking water. Additionally, each home is on a private septic/sewer system which means you may not flush any items other than toilet paper.
8. Bugs...the farm stay is intended to be an escape to nature, which can include bugs. You will likely encounter Stinkbugs and Ladybugs during the fall and winter months and an occasional ant during the summer. At times, several of these bugs might find their way into the home. None of the bugs are dangerous, but I want your stay to be a 5-star experience and if a few bugs and nature frighten you this probably isn't the destination for you.
10. There is a speed limit of 10 mph on the farm. This is in place to prevent costly damage to the gravel roads, limit the amount of dust, and to protect wildlife. Thank you in advance for respecting the posted speed.
11. The cottages have a strict limit of 2 adults maximum per stay. Guests must be 21 years of age unless accompanied by an adult.
12. No rowdy parties or produced events are allowed on the property or inside any of the homes. Bachelorette parties and family reunions are welcomed. Failure to obey house rules #11 and #12 will result in a full damage deposit claim.
13. There are 4 total Airbnb's on the property and other guests are present. Please be respectful of guest privacy near each home.
14. A cliffside road leads to the home. Photos of the road are provided and a video of the road can be shared if you have a fear of driving near road edges. All vehicles can make the the road, but I want to be transparent to those with driving fears.
