About this property

Hillandale Farmhouse circa 1774 - 6 bedrooms, sleeps 14, newly renovated

Welcome to Hillandale! A 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom farmhouse located on 13 acres with a scenic spring-fed pond. A perfect location for family gatherings, large groups attending the many wedding venues nearby, wine tours, bicyclists coming from DC on the W&OD bike trail and more. Originally a 500 acre dairy farm, Hillandale retains the calving barn, smokehouse, spring house and other outbuildings. The original two room stone structure in the center of the house dates to 1774, with additions added on over time. As such, many rooms have very low ceilings and doorways - so tall folks please watch your head! There is access to Franklin Park, and it's hiking trails, bridal path, ballparks, 18 hole disc golf course, and community pool (land that originally belonged to Hillandale) directly across the street. Downtown Purcellville with its shops, restaurants, craft breweries and distillery is minutes away. Purcellville is also the start point of the W&OD Trail, a bike trail that runs all the way to Washington, DC and is formerly a train line that carried dairy from Hillandale to the White House in the 1930s. The surrounding area is home to many wineries, craft breweries and tourist destinations including the Appalachian Trail and Shenandoah River/Shenandoah National Park.

Accommodations: It will comfortably sleep 12 in beds but there is space for more. On the first floor is a newly updated, well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, a full bathroom, a large living room with TV and sitting area, an adjacent smaller sitting room with original stone fireplace and 2 porches (one screened). Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds, 1 bedroom with a twin trundle bed and 1 bedroom with a full or double bed along with 2 newly renovated full bathrooms (1 with a romantic claw foot tub and separate shower and 1 with a jacuzzi tub). There is also a screened in sleeping porch with two twin beds, weather permitting. Large outdoor space (plenty of room for playing catch/frisbee) with a newly constructed 800 square foot stone patio on the back of the house with a built in propane grill and pizza oven, enough seating for 30+ people and a fire pit. Free wifi throughout. Ample parking in driveway.

House rules:

No smoking (please smoke outside)

No parties or events

No swimming or fishing in pond.

Great Accommodations
Hilldale Farmhouse has a lot of history and beauty. We had a family wedding with folks traveling from Fl. we all wanted to stay in one place. It was perfect. What I did not realize was the porch with the two twin beds was only screened in. Since this was the case we had a couple folks sleeping on couches. Other than that it was wonderful.

Hillandale Farmhouse
I was in town for a women's leadership conference and stayed in this VRBO with several others who were attending. We all loved the property and enjoyed sitting outside one evening on the large patio with lights. The check in process was extremely easy and the owner/manager was always very responsive. We had no issues during our stay. I also took a ton of photos and shared them on my social. We also had a complimentary bottle of wine in the refrigerator which was a nice surprise for our group.

Beautiful, Clean farmhouse
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely and comfortable farmhouse for a family wedding in the area. The house was spectacularly clean and well appointed. The back patio was huge and beautiful. There was plenty of parking for our family members and there were fun yard games available, though we didn’t have time to use them. Communication with the owners was spot on. We stayed there during a brutally hot weather weekend and were perfectly comfortable throughout the home due to the individual AC units in every room. I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect in every way!
This property is amazing, and in many ways better than expected. Everything you need to have a comfortable stay is there. The house is charming and has some impressive updating to give you modern amenities with a farmhouse vibe. While we had enough beds for everyone without needing the sleeping porch, a few people opted to stay out there to enjoy the sounds of nature. Truly a great place to stay - many in our group said they would stay again!

Bride's family
A lovely and unique property, full of character. I wish time had allowed more use of the outside amenities, but we were gone much of the time. It's location to Bear's Den where the ceremony was held, and to Bluemont Station Brewery and Winery, where the after party took place was so convenient. I'm curious as to what the other improvements recently finished and in progress will bring? My guests were thrilled.

Awesome Property
We arrived and spent a nice evening on the beautiful stone patio enjoying a bottle of local wine. Our family arrived the flowing day in preparation of our son’s wedding! There were plenty of cozy bedrooms to choose from and everything was clean and quaint! Would highly recommend this home for a family event/getaway! The host was easy to communicate with and responded to my questions promptly! 5 Stars overall!

Wedding preparations
This was a really great place to stay and the owner accommodated all of our needs. We threw a bridal tea party in the kitchen and we also hosted a hair and makeup event the day of the wedding. The farmhouse had all the amenities to take care of our family and the kitchen is well stocked. I would book here again!!

Hillandale Stay
We rented the Hillandale property because of the location near our son’s wedding. The house turned out to be a wonderful experience unto itself. The kitchen was very well equipped and the bottle of wine in the refrigerator was a very nice touch. We had 8 adults staying there and had plenty of space and enough bedrooms for everyone. The bathrooms were also very well done and large. We were able to use the outdoor pizza oven and that was fun and a first for us. The history of the house made it a special and unique experience. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time there.

We held a small family reunion and celebration at Hillandale and everything about the weekend was perfect! The outdoor areas were ideal for us to dine together but also break off into small groups. Loved the great blue heron on the pond. Wonderful kitchen. Cozy bedrooms and super bathrooms! Lovely aesthetics! On behalf of my entire family,, I couldn't recommend this venue enough!

Roller-Swanson Wedding
Our daughter’s wedding was supposed to happen in the summer of 2020. We had secured Tranquility Farm for the wedding and had rented Hallandale as a place for us and some of our family to stay. Then COVID hit and we had to postpone the wedding until this year. Both Tranquility Farm and Mr. MacDonald worked with us and we we able to have the wedding last weekend. Tranquility Farm was an awesome place to hold the wedding and Hallandale was a great place for us to relax before and after the event. The house is very much what we expected from the vrbo description and the outdoor area is fantastic. There is also a large park across the road with a frisbee golf course and miles of trails to walk.

Historic charm with modern amenities!
Can’t say enough good things about this home. The historic charm of the 1774 house has been beautifully retained with great updates to the bathrooms and kitchens - and a HUGE outdoor patio. We loved our girls weekend at the house and appreciate all of the thoughtful touches of the owners. We will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Robert MacDonald

Host profile image
Both originally from Ohio, we met in DC and got married at Tranquility Farm, less than a mile down the road. We fell in love with the area and planned to use this as a weekend place and set up a studio here for Rob, who is a photographer. You can see many of his pieces throughout the house. We unexpectedly had to move to Japan for work for a few years but intend on retiring at Hillandale.

Why they chose this property

We got married down the road from Hillandale and one day after visiting the wedding venue we noticed the property for sale and decided, on a whim, just to take a look. We immediately fell in love with it and decided, on the spot, to buy the farm. We love that it feels remote and peaceful but is just 20 minutes from Leesburg, 30 minutes from Dulles, and a stone's throw from downtown Purcellville. The property was owned by one family for 7 generations and the house feels like it tells that story with its eclectic layout and various cubbies and staircases. We've renovated the bathrooms and kitchen but tried to keep as much of the historic charm as we could.

What makes this property unique

The house combines the modern amenities of renovated bathrooms, kitchen and wifi, with the historic charm of an old Virginia family farm. It is fun to discover many of the original fixtures and details that remain throughout the house. With room to sleep up to 14, it is a great location for a group gathering or weekend trip out to the country - enough space for everyone to be together and relax and not feel on top of each other. The backyard space is perfect for an al fresco dinner and watching the sunset. Hillandale is close to local wineries, breweries and Franklin Park.
