About this property

Shenandoah Valley Farm House near BR pkway & Skyline , UVA, Staunton, wineries


We are a 150 acre working farm with cattle and crops, fronting the South River, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can see the house from overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The view from the house will cure high blood pressure in a minute. We are an ideal base for visiting Charlottesville , Skyline Drive, 151 trail wineries, BR Pkwy. and Staunton.

Because it is an old farm house with additions (total of around 3100 sq ft} the floor plan is unique. Downstairs includes all the public rooms plus a full bath. Upstairs includes three bedrooms, all queens, and a bunk room with 2 singles and a trundle which sleeps 3, and two full baths. One of the baths is off a central hall, the other is off one of one of the bedrooms. The upstairs rooms are on three levels, often requiring a step or two between rooms and the hall. If you are a person easily disoriented when you wake up at night, you may want to stay in the room with the ensuite bath with no steps. Also, it has a metal roof, so you will hear rain and wind storms if one arises.

Please note, the base rate is for up to four people. If you have more than four people it is $10 per person per night extra.

The address is 118 Hall School Rd, Waynesboro, VA 22980, should you wish to map it.

While only a few miles from the interstate, we are in a lovely rural setting. With 3/4 mile frontage on the South River, we have lovely paths for hiking and gentle water for canoeing (no rapids) and fishing, bass and trout. During the summer river water level can be pretty low and not great to canoe. There are other rivers in the area better suited for canoeing and tubing. This area is particularly nice for biking, with many rural roads, and excellent mountain biking trails nearby in the national forest. With 24 wineries within 25 miles, you can enjoy a grand tour or just visit a couple only 10 minutes away. Lake Sherando is 15 minutes away for swimming.

In the Fall the colors of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley are amazing. There is no extra charge for them.

You'll have a full modern kitchen, or many restaurants nearby for dining. The den features a card table and a large HD TV with DVD. We have an outside basketball court, and lots of area for soccer.

Behind the house there is a patio with a wonderful view of the property and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The patio includes a firepit and a hottub.

In our many five star reviews, you will read about people enjoying the games in our large 100 year old barn. Unfortunately the barn burned to the ground January 4, 2023 so we don’t have quite as many activities available on the farm.

If you are so inclined, you can visit our chickens and two donkeys, Fergie and Olive. You can win their hearts with an apple or carrot, or by brushing their coats.

We are less than 30 minutes from Charlottesville (Monticello and University of Virginia), Wintergreen(golf and skiing) and Staunton(Frontier museum and Shakespeare Theater). 45 minutes from Harrisonburg, Masanutten with it's waterpark and skiing, Lexington and the Safari zoo. About 2 hours from Richmond, Williamsburg, Jamestown and 3 hours from Washington DC and Virginia Beach.

Dulles airport is 2.5 hours and Richmond airport is about 90 minutes. 30 minutes from Charlottesville airport.

Come settle in on our farm, take in all the fun activities in the area, and then relax with the comforts and room of home.

Our minimum stay is 2 nights.

Quirky, Charming, Delightul!

We've stayed at this farmhouse twice within the past few years and definitely plan to return! Two families — mine, with two teenage girls, and my sister-in-law's, with three teenagers — find this house to be a great place for everyone to spread out (retreat to a quiet corner) OR to gather for family games/fun/dining. This location is convenient to Wintergreen skiing (for the teens and the dads), to downtown Waynesboro (for antiquing and dining), and to surrounding charming towns (for exploring). Brad in incredibly receptive and hospitable and the house is well-stocked with anything you might need.

Cozy and inviting

Most reviews I’ve seen are from summer excursions and I wanted to vouch for the coziness of a late fall/early winter experience for our families! The property might be an old farmhouse but the house has been updated with amazing heat surprisingly non-squeaky floors. The toddler was able to sleep while the older kids remained at their normal volume. Nearby grocery and restaurants made planning for the whole family a breeze and the hosts have left extensive information about the area. The very welcoming and communicative hosts made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Would stay again, without question.

Beautiful

Our family gathered for a long weekend. The house is on a quiet road, interesting, well decorated, and has everything guests need, as well as many extras. The host was exceptionally helpful and available. There were games available, fire pit supplies, and a well-equipped kitchen. The view of the valley and the Blue Ridge was beautiful. Even our mid-teen enjoyed visiting the cattle , chickens, and donkeys and a we all enjoyed a beautiful walk around the farm. The conveniences of town are not far away. This was a great place for us to stay and relax and sightsee.

Whether you like walking down to a gazebo for a day trip, picking wild blackberries along a trail, or spending a day around a fire pit this place has something for you! The owners are very attentive to what you need, and are easy to contact if there are any issues. The house is beautifully maintained and everything works amazingly. The house itself is spacious and very clean, and the owners are right nearby if you need anything and are always willing to help.

A Gem in the Shenandoah Valley

We selected this home for a family gathering and commuted to Charlottesville for my daughter's college graduation. We had a wonderful time at the farmhouse. It is a tastefully-appointed home located on a working farm, surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and 100 acres of farmland. The home has a great kitchen with everything you could need to prepare your meals. The beds (and pillows) were comfortable. Brad was an excellent host during our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Blue Ridge

This property is beautifully appointed and neat as a pin. We enjoyed the outdoor amenities as well as sharing time around the dining room table and cocktails in the room, and chats over morning coffee in the sunroom. It was plenty big for four couples. The location made a trip to a trail and brewery easy but its views are mountains and bucolic fields during the day and enough dark sky at night to see the stars. We had a great stay.

While we did go to Wintergreen for tubing our stay at the Farmhouse was wonderful.

Great Property!

We procrastinated in finding a place in Charlottesville for family weekend and booked Brad's guesthouse in Waynesboro. And we were glad we did! The property was beautiful and had something for all ages. The kids loved feeding the donkeys and watching the cows. Not to mention the hot tub. Brad provided wood for the firepit, which we used both nights. The grill was both clean and working (not always the case for a vrbo!). Brad was a great host and very helpful. Overall, a great stay!

We had a great stay at this quiet, picturesque place with awesome views and comfortable home There was plenty of space to spread out and explore!. It was such a relaxing time sitting around the fire circle in the adirondack chairs enjoying the beautiful land, mountains, and stars. The host was so welcoming...he showed us around the farm and gave us great tips about what to do and good places to eat. It was a fantastic location...private, with plenty of amenities, and close to town. We loved our time here.

Shenandoah Valley Experience

Staying at this beautiful home was also an experience. Brad and Deana were gracious and helpful hosts and we got to meet their donkeys and chickens and eat fresh eggs and veggies from their garden. We walked through the corn and soybean fields on their property. The house is spacious and comfortable and well stocked. Beyond the house there is a lot to do in the area — hiking, history, wineries — and the scenery is beautiful. We wished we could have stayed longer!

Family/friends get-away

We had a great stay at this well-appointed farm house. The space was just as described, very comfortable, and a well-equipped kitchen. The owners were even kind enough to pick up a few new toys for our young kids. The beds were very comfortable, and there is plenty of space to hang out and enjoy the ambiance - both inside the house as well as outside on the porch, lovely backyard tables, fire pit, and bench swing. The kids loved visiting the chickens and donkeys, and seeing the cows in the field beyond the fence. The house feels remote yet is just minutes away from conveniences of supermarkets and local shops.

One of the best experiences of my life

This home is more than a house. It's an experience. Visited for Thanksgiving with my family. There were 7 of us and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. The home is so much better than the photos. It's steeped in history, from the decor to the open fields to the eclectic artwork -- it's a feast for the eyes and would be lovely any time of year. Each room is perfectly appointed with an eye toward those little details that make things extra special. Also, the bedrooms are enormous. For example, in my bedroom, there was a shelf with a tiny pair of Native American moccasins, numerous books and precious little tchotchkes. Inside the bedrooms, soft rugs and numerous COTTON (no polyester in sight!) quilts gave a sense of coziness and kept that glorious hardwood floor warm enough for bare feet. You could eat from the kitchen floor. The room is immaculate and colorful, equipped with a butcher block island and all of the basic needs -- including quite a few extras that you don't normally find in a rental, like detergent, washer & dryer, myriad utensils and a superior range. A farmhouse dining table made for an ideal mealtime together. There were enough rooms for everyone to spread out and do their own thing during the rainy days. However, I would note that the TV isn't much of an option. We only got a few channels. I would suggest adding a Chromecast maybe. That would be nice for more tech-savvy guests to cast their favorite shows or videos. Outside, it is a working farm. We visited with the cattle in their nearby pasture. Hint: they love apples! There are also two adorable donkeys, chickens and many other outdoor options, including a barn with games and a pool table inside! The donkeys would get so excited when they saw us coming with treats like carrots and apples -- one of them even lost her voice! The kids were outside from dawn to dusk many days. The hot tub gave us a few nights of fun, as did the lovely and large firepit, equipped with plenty of wood. The owner lives nearby and was available around the clock with information and tips. Overall, I would say this was our favorite family vacation. I would be happy to return any time.

About the host

Hosted by Brad Tipler

Host profile image
Brad, Deana, Dalton, Liam and a host of animals live on the farm. Deana was born and raised in the area. Brad moved here 25 years ago to work, fell in love with the area and Deana. Neither is leaving.

We bought the farm in 2004, and moved into the farm house a few years later. In 2009 we built a new home on the farm, and thus the farm house became available for VRBO.

Why they chose this property

Lots of reasons, including, the view, the view, the view........

What makes this property unique

We live in a rural peaceful area, but the necessities (and luxuries ) of modern life are just 10 minutes away.
