Our hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful at every turn. The house was just what our family needed in our retreat after the busy holiday season. The farm animals were a big hit with everyone, especially the chickens land horses. The couches could have been more comfortable but that didn't distract us from having a great time. A little tip that will help you be more comfortable in the downstairs bedroom is to keep the closet open as the heat vent is inside. Overall, it was a fabulous place for our family to get away. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a family farm adventure.

Thanksgiving at the farm

We had a lovely day-after-Thanksgiving with our children and grandchildren. The home was cozy and spacious, and we loved having the fireplace available. Our grandkids enjoyed the horses, pig, chicken and two beautiful and friendly dogs. Hope we get to visit again soon!

The property is simply amazing…even in the winter. Just wish we could have had a longer stay. We loved cozying up by the fireplace chatting and playing games. I would love to come back in the spring, summer or fall..I can only imagine how beautiful it is at those times also! Thank you!!

Phenomenal hospitality! Gorgeous property

We rented this for friends visiting from out of town. The owners were incredibly hospitable and took the time to walk around the property and tell the history of it as well as showing all of the amenities., The property is gorgeous and the accommodations are clean and quiet. Highly recommend this to anybody. Fabulous location and easy to get around.

Superb!!

Had a magnificent 2 night stay at this picturesque property for a family wedding shower about 10 miles away. Loves the ease of check in, the friendly welcome from Jeff and Terri and the ability to roam the grounds, meeting Mitch (pig), Luke Charlotte and the other property pup, as well as Addie and the two other Clydesdale horses. From one animal lover to obviously two others, I thank you! Such a wonderful spot and stay!

Perfect

We needed ADA space for a weekend and we cocooned in the cottage. Wonderfully equipped kitchen allowed us to cook meals. Spacious living room and dining room gave us places to gather. The horses and grounds were relaxing to see. The dogs welcomed us and their occasional barks were the only noise to break the peaceful serenity of our time there.

Girls - prewedding fun & photos

Had an absolute bast staying with my girlfriends the night before my wedding (held elsewhere) - we made my flower arrangements and enjoyed a girl's night. The following day my photographer came and took my photos in the beautiful barn locations. The house was spacious, clean, and adorable - especially the bathroom wallpapers. LOL - loved the welcoming dog who was adorable and never made a sound on the property. I would highly recommend this property.

Rustic Charm

Off the beaten path. Truly in the country. Added bonus lots of land to take a walk on and see horses and a pig. Owner very responsive when we had minor issue with dishwasher. Note that there is no TV if that matters to you (not misrepresented in description). Could use a little more lighting in living room and dining room. Clean and charming.

Holiday vacation

A true rustic Family Christmas! We stayed at The Cottage for 3 weeks and we felt very welcome. The house has a master suite DOWNSTAIRS with a tub- no shower. Upstairs has 2 huge bedrooms and each has a bath with shower- plenty of towels, shampoos and soaps. No television -which was PERFECT for catching up with Family uninterrupted 😊 by the fireplace! Dining area table sat 8 of us comfortably. It was December so we couldn't take advantage of the lovely attached porch but walking around the farm and property was calming as well as invigorating - be sure to say hello to the horses and playful pups! ANY questions or needs that we had were quickly answered and attended. Purcellville less than 10 minutes away for shopping and restaurants. Check-in and out was an absolute breeze. Highly recommend!

A slice of heaven!

What an incredibly beautiful property! The house is nicely furnished with antiques and comfortable couches and beds and extremely clean!! It’s a very spacious house! Plenty of room even if filled to capacity. The deck was my favorite place to sit, looking at the corn field from sunrise to golden hour. You are totally removed from real life in this part of Purcellville! Terry and her husband are so friendly, and if you’re lucky they will show you the gorgeous barns they restored for incredible weddings, outbuildings converted to guest quarters, and the beautiful pasture with their Clydesdales. Beautiful perennials compliment the landscape. It is a little further from town than we expected but the drive is scenic. The bathrooms definitely need to be redone since they are from the 80’s and in some disrepair cosmetically. The kitchen was fine except not well equipped for cooking. I have a daughter with celiac so that is always a challenge. Still, the good far outweighed those things and we would recommend this property wholeheartedly! My husband wants to stay in the log cabin the next time he comes down for work! So relaxing!

During the first evening of our stay; the Cottage's HVAC system fail; we had to call the hosts at 12:30 a.m. the next morning as the temp in the house was 57. They did arrive with three additional space heaters. Very very cold outside and in the house. Just poor communication with the hosts. They did give us a full refund.
