About this house rental

Nestled in Shenandoah Valley, this attractive house for $165 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Baldwin Farm is located in the central Shenandoah Valley, the house is a three-bedroom, two-bath modern country home framed with a large sitting porch looking out on the Alleghany mountains. It is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. The mattresses are brand new pillowtops with all new bedding so you can have a comfortable, restful sleep. Pastoral setting. Outside Middlebrook, VA, the house is the center of a working farm. The property sits in a natural bowl with progressively rising hills culminating in the foothills of the nearby mountains. Mark the passage of time as the light descends the slopes in the morning and ascends later and finally gives way to the starry night after the sunset. Contemplative. Sitting off a country road, quiet solitude with some country noise should be expected at Baldwin Farm. Get out, walk around the farm, and experience a simple, slower pace. Watch the cattle graze while looking out over pastureland framed by the mountains. On clear nights, enjoy a view of the starry night sky that one can only get in a relatively light free environment. Meditative atmosphere. Sit on the large covered porch and listen to the wind chimes or gaze out the large picture window in the living room while contemplating the foothills of the Alleghany mountains, verdant in the spring and summertime, cloaked in color in the fall. Location, Location, Location Located 15 minutes from Staunton; 30 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the George Washington National Forest; less than an hour to Lexington, Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Bath and Highland Counties.

We had a great stay at the home. Very clean, beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed and more. Communication was great and the extra attention to make us feel welcome in their home was great. Thanks for being dog lovers and welcoming to be able to bring along our two dogs. The fenced in front and back yards made it easy for us. We loved sitting on the covered porch looking at the views and cows. We would definately stay here again visiting the staunton area.

We had a last minute idea to head to the mountains for a quick getaway. Having two dogs, ideally, we needed a place where they could run and play unencumbered. Boy were we lucky to have found this country retreat. It was amazing. The fenced in yard was super, but even more so was the pasture-land where they were able to romp off leash. It went on forever...bottom line, this is a great place for pups to burn off some steam. Regarding the house, it was beautiful, well stocked with all we needed, the matress seemed new and the bed was very comfy. My wife and I spent the evenings by the fire enjoying the solitude. Overall, I would recommend this place and we will be back. Harry and Susan, we'll see you again soon. Thanks you for sharing your place with us and for the homemade treat you baked for us upon our arrival!!

We stayed at the farm for New Year’s weekend and had a blast! The property was unique, beautifully decorated, clean, and comfy (especially the top notch beds!) , and the views of the sunset over the mountains were wonderful. The Baldwins were very friendly and responsive hosts, and helped us when we were having technical difficulties with the VRBO platform. Highly recommend this place for a family or friend getaway!

We brought our family of 6, including our 4 young kids, to stay at this beautiful property. Home had everything we needed. Loved using the gas fireplace every morning and watching deer and cows off the large back porch. The fenced in yard was perfect for our kids. Beds were very comfortable. The drive out to the property had lovely views but it wasn’t difficult to get there at all which was great. Thanks for sharing your property with us!
