Beautiful setting

The view of the pond from the back screened-in porch was lovely, and the view of horse pastures from the front window was serene. Perfect setting for a quick weekend getaway -

Simply serene.

Exactly what we were looking for to escape the DC area. Loved everything about the property-the cottage was awesome, the pond was unbelievably beautiful. Look forward to returning.

Amazing! Great views!

I surprised my wife with a random overnight trip. She had a blast and was super happy! Can’t wait to go back! Horses everywhere which was really awesome! We definitely didn’t want to leave! The farm was nice to walk around with our morning coffee and take it all in! Such a relaxing place to visit

getaway from DC

Place was amazingly peaceful, serene and very clean. Our lab jumped in pond 15 seconds after pulling up. He loved the freedom this farm offers. Hated to leave--in town-do eat at Barbeque Exchange--best food ever. Thanks Tina, Keith and entire staff.

Quiet, Relaxing Place to Stay

The scenery is so peaceful and relaxing. Who doesn’t want to wake up to horses playing in a field? Plenty to do with fishing at the pond, basketball hoop, game room and places to hike. Pond house was a great place to stay and we loved sitting on the porch. Check in and check out was very easy and the hostess was great communicating instructions. Don’t miss this one!!

Relaxing get away.

Took our 2 dogs and had a wonderful relaxing few days. Husband caught some fish out of a couple of the ponds. Let the dogs play in the stream at the swimming hole. Relaxed on the porch and did a puzzle. Everyone was very nice and accomodating. There are employees at the farm but we had our privacy. Was a great get away....would highly recommend if you are looking to kick back and relax.

Awesome farm life fun!

We had a wonderful stay at the pond house. The house was well stocked, was clean, bedding comfy, and was very cool to go to bed with the sound of crickets and wake up to watching the horses running wild. The staff was wonderful and we really enjoyed Mr. Sommers and all the barn animals and interactions. My kids had experiences of a lifetime… feeding a baby cow, holding puppies, interacting with horses, etc. They also loved roaming the land, playing in the game barn, riding the bikes, and enjoying the beauty of the farm. We fished, made s’mores, and watched the sunset everyday. We did several day trips- to Charlottesville and to hikes, and did horse back riding locally. Great times! Thank you!

Serene Location

The Pond house is beautifully set by a pond. The attractions are the hikes in the woods, the horse paddocks to say hi to horses (bring carrots and apples), and the serenity of it all. The house is nicely decorated, and well appointed. There is wood for the fire in the evening, so the hosts are thoughtful. I marked down two stars because of the following: (1) the property listing says it has a hot tub, which is true, but the hot tub is at the manor house up the road a ways, and reserved for the guests of the Manor. So, its not very practical in the winter. (2) Most important. The property listing says Wifi, but again that is for the manor house, and not always available for the Pond house. We expected to use it but were told it was not available.

Perfect mix of farm and nature, great for young families

We had a lovely stay at the farm! We have a pre-walker (1) and a toddler (3) and were looking for a place that could accommodate both - a tall order. This place fit the bill perfectly, but could easily entertain older kids. There's a whole barn with games, tons of bikes to use, 2 wagons for carting kids around, and lots of easy walking trails. The house itself was immaculate and modern and has everything you need, plus some extras - very well appointed. There was even a Christmas tree in the living room, which was a really nice touch. If you do need anything, Tina is very quick to respond. A tip: for some reason our carrier (Verizon) had bad cell service during the second half of our stay (?!), so we couldn't reach Tina to request the mobile hotspot. We finally did so we could at least connect our phones to wifi - you may wish to request it upon arrival. There's no dedicated wifi because broadband isn't available that far out, so this is a nice accommodation. When we did want to veg, there were some fun VHS and DVD videos available. Can't wait to go back!

Just like home - but better!

We found the Pond House online, and it looked like a pretty good place for us to stay - my husband and myself, our two girls, and my mother-in-law. We arrived just as the sun was setting on a warm March day - and immediately fell in love with the place! My two girls (ages and 8 and 11), found the tree swing at the bed and breakfast up the hill right away. We watched the horses, including a mother and her foal, and captured some absolutely beautiful photographs early in the morning from across the pond. We hiked, planned to use the hot tub (but decided it was too chilly), and watched brilliant stars from the deck each night. We were happily surprised to find that the fridge was fully-stocked with breakfast for our three-day stay! We brought some of our own food for lunches; used the full-size oven, dishwasher, and washer and dryer; and enjoyed Tina's laid-back warmth. The house was a perfect size for the five of us - just enough room for everyone, and big windows through which to watch the horses. We visited all three nearby Presidents' houses: Monticello, Montpelier and Ash Lawn-Highland. Montpelier had the best tour, in our opinion. Also loved the restaurant in the town of Orange that a docent at one of the houses recommended: Elmwood at Sparks. The Silk Mill Grille in same town was good too. Charlottesville was fun as well - lots of good food, and a great downtown walking mall.

Pros: Serene location, picturesque pond in backyard, great vibes and friendly staff. We were here for a wedding and had a wonderful time. Cons: Older farm dog off leash on property-roams around and bit our friend’s dog, causing him to bleed, Pond house cute but could be cleaner-quite dusty.

Serene get-away

We loved our short stay at the farm and loved the cute little pond house even more! We had everything we needed and then some. There was a great 'welcome guide' that the owners had created with tons of information about the area and the property that we really appreciated. We could go exploring around the property itself, visit with the horses right outside our door (which our daughter particularly loved), take a quick trip to the mountains, or visit nearby attractions such as Monticello. At night it was wonderful to sit out on the screened in porch and listen to the frogs and crickets ,or hang out by the fire pit and make s'mores and look up at the sky and check for constellations- something we don't get to see much of at home in the city. It all made for a much needed, memorable, and enjoyable get-away. We hope to visit again soon!

This is the second time I rented this property for the family Christmas. We meet on Christmas eve for a meal and present exchange. My spouse and I stay until the 26th or 27th with family visiting to enjoy the pond, trails and horses. Great location and facility. Already booked for 2023.

Holiday on a Horse Farm

This is our 2nd year spending Thanksgiving in Virginia at the Wolftrap Farm. It is so beautiful, peaceful and good for the soul. We love waking up to the horses and falling asleep under the starry skies. We always have a fantastic experience visiting family in Cville and winding down on the farm after festivities.

Perfect for small family gathering

We returned to Wolf Trap Farm after a previous stay at one of the other rentals onsite. We were looking for a place for a small family gathering. The space was comfortable for our group of 3 adults and 3 children, especially with the use of the outdoor spaces of the house and the property itself. We didn’t cook much while there, but found everything we needed if we had. We especially enjoyed the horses on the property.

Outstanding getaway, perfect for little kids!

We stayed at the Pond House and are already planning our return! It was impeccably clean and nicely decorated, AC worked great during heatwave and WiFi was sufficient for remote work. We loved the screened-in porch with ring game and the game barn was a hit. The creek and swimming hole were perfect on a hot day and the pond was plentifully stocked and a perfect spot for first time fishers. The trees behind pond house had more hummingbirds than I’ve ever seen in my life, it was amazing. Fire pit, hiking, THE HORSES!, all of it was just perfect. We brought our own basic fishing poles and bait was available at every local gas station. Our kids could safely run barefoot in the grass and get dirty and enjoy the outdoors without worry. For the record, we didn’t bring any electronics and I never once heard my kids say they were bored, truly magical!
