About this property

Tranquility, Wonderful View From The Sun Room,In The Historic Shenandoah Valley

Blueberry Hill Farm vacation suite is located midway between Staunton and Lexington, in a serene country setting yet convenient to I-81 and easily found. The suite is in the upper part of our large home with a separate entrance via the upstairs porch which is for your private use. Our exceptional feature is the year-round sun room/sitting room where you have a wonderful tree-top view of the farm, pond, wildlife habitat, distant mountains, and at night the stars. The suite also includes an air-conditioned bedroom with an antique queen bed and a daybed, fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom with shower. Linens, towels, kitchenware, tableware, basic staples, coffee, tea, creamer and sweeteners are provided. You are free to use the outdoor gas grill. A TV and DVD player are available. Children 12 and over are welcome. The suite is not suitable for pets.
We invite you to enjoy the farm: Goats are the main attraction, especially in early spring when the kids are little and most amenable to human contact (and so cute!). We have fields of hay, alfalfa and sometimes corn or wheat. Walk through the woods to a large pond stocked with largemouth bass and catfish. Bring your gear. Observe the wildlife, or just relax on the porch and enjoy the serenity of the countryside.
There is so much to do in this area! In Lexington take a horse drawn carriage tour of the historic town, or attend events at the Virginia Horse Center. In Staunton take in a play at the American Shakespeare Center’s Blackfriars Theater, or visit the Frontier Culture Museum. Nearby, go for a tour and tasting at Rockbridge Vineyard, hike mountain trails, bike along picturesque country roads, go 'antiquing', or take a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway (just 15 minutes away). We have information, directions and maps in the suite for your use in planning your activities and we will be glad to help you in any other way we can.

Fall Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed the peaceful beauty of the Blueberry Hill Farm. We enjoyed all the thoughtful touches and everything that we needed was available. The fishing at the pond was a highlight for him and there were several wildlife sightings while there. We would recommend staying here if ever in this area.

Rural and peaceful

We loved sitting on the screened porch looking out across the landscape. Having a mini kitchen was perfect and we really appreciated all the items (tea etc) that were available. The bedroom was beautifully furnished (even nicer than the photos), very clean and very comfortable. And Jean was a wonderful host. All in all a great stay.

Peaceful country setting

My husband and I needed some quiet and this is exactly what we got. It was so pleasant sitting out on the deck or the sunroom in the evening, or breakfast in the morning. Our hosts were very nice and accomodating. When a small issue arose, Jean was so pleasant to work with, and very quick to make it right. They are very good people.

Beautiful farm stay in Shenandoah Valley!

What a wonderful stay! The hosts thought of everything! I traveled solo and for business so I did not get to enjoy all the adventures they had noted but I will come back a few days earlier next time and explore their beautiful farm and surroundings.

Perfectly peaceful!

We just loved staying on the farm. The upstairs apartment was a perfect getaway. The porch was our favorite place to just relax. The Debrot's were wonderful hosts. This was conveniently located to Waynesboro, Staunton and Lexington. Perfect for exploring the area.

Awesome!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Beautiful home and Jean and Frank were super hosts! I felt like I stepped back in time to a more genteel and peaceful time. It was quiet with no worries about safety. The sunporch was wonderful as well as the comfortable bed. Goats, cat and dog, added just the right touch to sit on the porch looking out over the countryside. The pond was a slight walk which I did not attempt with my bad knee after a day of browsing in downtown Staunton. Town was amazing on a Saturday when the streets is blocked off to allow carefree strolling and socializing with the wonderful people there. Scenery is unmatched anywhere, with complete country laid-back atmosphere! Highly recommend this home away from home!!

Just like home

My wife and I just spent five nights at this property, and loved it. We felt very much at home from the moment we arrived. Our view from the sunroom porch allowed us to enjoy all of the beauty of the farm, including the antics of the goats. With Covid-19, we brought most of our meals back to the house for relaxing, quiet dining. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Relaxing Mountain Getaway

My partner and I had a great weekend here. It was a perfect location for exploring the mountains and visiting the nearby cities and tourist sites. Or you can stay on the property and enjoy the mountain view from the sunroom, fishing in the pond, and watching the goats. This property gives the flexibility to make the vacation what you want. The kitchen is small but well-stocked with all the essentials. The hosts were very thoughtful and hospitable. They had great information available for food and activities. Would definitely stay here again!

Charming country suite

We spent a wonderful long weekend at Blueberry Hill Farm this autumn. My husband enjoyed fishing in the pond and we both loved drinking coffee and watching the goats from the farmhouse porch! Jean and Frank are wonderful hosts and check in was very easy. The suite has everything needed for a nice stay. We were rejuvenated after our peaceful sojourn at Blueberry Hill Farm and hope to return soon!

Peaceful, Great Location

Overall, my husband and I had a great stay at Blueberry Hill Farm. The location was perfect for us to go hiking and to visit local attractions such as Natural Bridge. We also enjoyed fishing and relaxing on the property, which was very quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. The hosts were very accommodating and willing to answer any questions we had. All in all, we had a great weekend.

Lovely country setting

My dad and I were visiting Lexington to check off some Civil War bucket list items. Blueberry Hill Farm was a wonderful place to stay nearby while allowing us the country setting within a historic home. Very neat and clean. Jean was informative of things to do and see in the area and upon her suggestion we did see New Market Battlefield. The home was inviting and comfy and perfect place for a relaxing visit.

Peaceful, comfortable stay near Lexington

My daughter was competing with her horse at the Virginia Horse Center, it is a late fall event and a busy time around Lexington. I found this rental to be a perfect spot, fairly close by (20min) and so comfortable and quiet for us to sleep well and recharge after long days. The views are amazing!! Thank you so much for a great experience.
