About this property

Farm Experience-In the Heart of Vineyard, Wine and Wedding Country-Spacious

Country Get-a-way:

The GPS address is, 5114 Dick Woods Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903.

Are you looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living, step back in time 200 years in order to enjoy the rhythms of nature? Come listen to the rain on a tin roof and sleep in the morning until you are finished.

You and your children can feed the chickens, collect eggs, milk goats or go for a long walk. Due to bio-security and health issues we have a strict no pet policy! The owners live in a separate cottage a short distance away and are available for help or emergency.

You can ring the dinner bell or hang out in the "Man Cave" with the 42 inch flat screen TV. Come away and relax with a glass of wine in the cool of the evening as all the stars in the Milky Way pop out to greet you.

The most amazing part of this saga is that it is available only a short 14 minute drive from the Rotunda at University of Virginia. Quarters Farm is also only 15 minutes from Pippen Hill Vineyard, King Family Vineyard and Pollack Vineyard. We are 45 minutes from Wintergreen and close to many fine restaurants.

One new addition is a catering service provided by close friends. They can have the frig stocked when you arrive or cater a meal during your stay. Prices and information sent upon request.

The history of the farm only adds to the mystique. In 1745 King George of England granted 1800 acres to the Mills family who moved to Virginia and had a three story home built with 6 rooms for themselves and their three sons. This home predates the beginning of construction on Thomas Jefferson's Monticello by 18 years. In the 275 years since then, wings and additions have been added on to the original stone and log construction

My father purchased 180 acres, along with the house, in 1952. It is now a sustainable farm selling pastured eggs, and other products which are all available to our guests. My wife and I live in a house close by and run the farm.

A beautiful kitchen attached to a large screened-in porch, along with a second story porch for enjoying the mountain views with your favorite beverage. 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms will comfortably meet your needs.

ALERT: Due to the design of this historic home, there are NO bathrooms/bedrooms on the ground floor. Access to the living areas is via a flight of stairs.

We believe that you will find this home truly inviting and relaxing, well furnished with antiques and beautiful furniture. The house has a whole house generator, so you will not have to leave in the case of a power outage.

Husband's 60th birthday trip
We travelled to Va to visit Monticello, wineries and breweries for my husband's 60th birthday with 3 other couples. The house was about 20minutes from Monticello and Jefferson winery so it was a perfect location for us. We absolutely loved the farm and the house. We got to see the baby goats which were so cute! We loved everything about our trip and the house was perfect for all of us. Thank you for a wonderful time! We would highly recommend staying here!Lisa Lawton

Brooks and Dunn concert
We went to the John paul jones arena during our stay. It was easy to get to from the farm. We wish we would have had more time to just hang out at the farm, relaxing. The screened in porch was lovely for relaxing and watching the animals. We loved the decor and the whole vibe of the place. Hosts were very gracious, we would love to a return trip in the future.

Lovely home and lovely hosts!
A beautiful historic property and working farm, it was the perfect getaway for some lifelong friends looking to get away.

It is very large and can easily accommodate a large family or group event.We were even given samples of maple water from the frees, and farm-fresh eggs! We would definitely stay here again.Thank you Bill and Cynthia for a perfect weekend.

A window into our ancestor's life
This is a very unique property definitely worth staying in to get away from the city, or in particular, to experience living in a farm house from 200 years ago, albeit one that has all the modern conveniences everyone takes for granted. All of us (4 adults) found the home extremely interesting. Just finding houses built from 10-inch square hand-cut and hewed wood beams to visit is not that easy - finding one to stay in is a real treat. We selected this property due to its location close to relatives we were visiting, not because it was an old farm house, so the home's age aspect of the stay was a bonus. All of the members of all party commented that they felt like they were staying in a museum.The house was very clean and in excellent repair (so, no worries about staying in an "old house") and the hosts were most informative, friendly and quickly answered all our questions.

anniversary/wedding
We had a total of 8 adults stay at this site, to celebrate parent's anniversary, as well as family wedding in the area. What a wonderful location and home!!! The owners are great, love their home and love sharing it with others. We had a relaxing time with adult children, with plenty of space for private conversations as well as for all of us together in the same room. The home is well stocked, including coffee and eggs: the furnishings are beautiful, plus decorated for Christmas, and very clean. We were all pleasantly surprised and thrilled with the quality of this home: it is the best we have experienced in a rental home.

Wonderful farm visit
We had a great family visit at Quarters Farm. Bill and Cynthia were excellent hosts. They let the children feed the chickens and goats and help collect eggs. We loved the historic house and walking the loop around by the lake. It was a great base for visiting Monticello, UVA, and local orchards and restaurants. But we also really enjoyed just staying at the house and sitting on the screen porch and watching the cows graze and the goats cross the field. Bill and Cynthia, thank you again for your hospitality!

We had a class reunion at my house this July 4th, and our guests stayed at the farmhouse. The host was very nice and gave us a tour of the property. The rooms were very clean and full of character. The kids really enjoyed the farm experience, including feeding the chickens and goats, and collecting eggs.

Great Weekend Stay
Six adults and two children enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend at Quarters Farm. The setting provided lovely views across the countryside and all enjoyed the historic property and its surroundings. The children were able to help with feeding the goats and chickens making it extra special. We all left feeling relaxed and appreciative of the time we spent there. Our hosts, Bill and Cynthia were most welcoming and helpful, and ensured the children also had a memorable time. We all agreed it was a setting and weekend to remember!

Bucolic
This was our second time to stay at this farm house. Anyone who is interested in farming, animals, American history or just wants a pleasant, pretty place to stay should book this property. My daughter was able to help milk the goats. My husband and I enjoyed the hike on the property to the fishing pond. We all enjoyed waking up to the sounds and sights of life on a farm. The hosts take extra care to meet all of your needs- highly recommend.

Delightful Experience!
Bill and Cynthia are such amazing hosts and the property inside and out exemplifies it. What a great place to stay for some serious rural R&R! The property was very clean. They have thought of everything one would need for a delightful get away. If you forgot anything, just ask and they are sure to help one way or another. The Fresh eggs, courtesy of their chickens, were a treat and the farm animals are such fun…esp Posy, Zoey and Hemingway. We hope to return soon for a longer retreat! Thank you Bill and Cynthia for a short but wonderful stay!🙌☀️

Kid-friendly, beautiful farm stay
My husband, 17 month old son, and I stayed with Cynthia and Bill for the weekend, along with my best friend, her husband and their two year old. Cynthia and Bill were so welcoming, greeting us to let us in, and then helping the children feed the goats and chickens the following day. They had so much fun! Meanwhile, the farm stay was spacious, clean, quiet and beautiful. The location is convenient access to lots of the local wineries and breweries, Crozet Pizza, and only 20 minutes from the downtown Charlottesville mall. A wonderful stay. We can't wait to come back!
