'Pond House' on Huge Horse Farm; Great for Young Families: Escape the City.
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Shenandoah Valley, this attractive cottage for $235 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Vacation on our 600 acre horse and cattle farm and stay in our Pond House, on the shore of one of the most beautiful ponds you can imagine. Children and adults enjoy fishing, hiking the woodland trails, watching the constant activities of nature around the pond, watching the horses and cattle, and horseback riding with our neighbors at Oakland Heights. During hot weather, enjoy the free swimming hole in our creek. Reserve a time (90 minutes) at our Party Patio to enjoy its Hot Tub, corn hole and other games, and its additional firepit. Bring your bathing suits. The Pond House has two bedrooms (one queen, one bunk bed with double bed on bottom), plus a den with queen-sized pull-out couch. It is professionally decorated and altogether charming. The best feature, however, is the screened back deck overlooking the gorgeous pond. Also see our Milker's Cottage (vrbo #766635), Manor House (vrbo #90926), Barn Apartment (vrbo#1047051) and Servants' Cottage (vrbo #442721). These are all on the same farm. The Milker's cottage is similar in size and price to the Pond House, so if the Pond House shows unavailable, please be sure to check the Milker's Cottage. Keywords: Cabin

Like I said 3 months later I have bed bugs. When I got home I informed the people I found a bed bug they said it couldn't be guesswhat I now have bed bugs and haven't been anywhere else before or after. And told her I found one when I returned home.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful Family Vacation
From the moment my kids walked in the door to the moment we left my kids could not stop talking about how wonderful the Pond House was. It is so beautiful and there is so much to do - fishing, the game barn, seeing the horses, running around on the huge lawn, and so on. We would love to make this a regular part of our annual summer vacation to Virginia!

Overall, the stay was pleasant. There are two suggestions to make it better. The key to the front door does not work and when we tried to enter the pond house at night 11:00 P.M., this was discovered. We called the management and they indicated that this was a problem and that we should try entry the key on the back door. That did work. I do suggest that either the guests be told this up front or that the key get changed. This problem is why I am giving the communication with the management category a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star rating. Second, the lower bed of the bunkbeds has a squeaky mattress. That bed should be changed.

Beautiful location
We celebrated our friends 40th birthday here and we spent most of the day on the screened in porch. At night the firepit was great. It has a beautiful view and lots of space. Will come back

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 -

Our family loved our stay at the Pond House. We were outdoors enjoying the property for the majority of the time. Highlights were fishing, biking, walking and visiting the horses. Keith and Tina were great to work with. We’ll be staying here again!

The Pond House was perfect place for a relaxing vacation! The house was large enough for us and our two dogs to enjoy without feeling cramped. The screen porch was our favorite place to be for coffee with the morning sun and views of the pond and horses. Charlottesville, wineries, and hiking trails all close by. Wonderful!!!
