We had a great time. The house was perfect for us with the fireplace being the cherry on top. It created a cozy space making it hard to want to go outside and brave the cold. The views on the property were great and worth exploring.

beautiful views
The property was absolutely breathtaking! I would book again based on the views and grounds alone! The main floor of the house only had a bathroom on the other side of the master bedroom, if you are planning a trip with multiple families this can get frustrating. The basement had ping pong, which the kids loved and the hot tub was easy to refill and use! The basement also had the washer and dryer and the host did a nice job of keeping it stocked with detergent and cleaners. The hosts were quick to reply when we ran into any issues (hot tub chemicals and hot water issues) and were quick to make everything right! I think it would be in their favor to have electronic locks added to their doors and update some electricity/ wiring in their basement, but overall beautiful stay that felt like a nice hideaway.

Pretty!!
The house and property were beautiful. My husband got to fish a few times in the river. We walked on the property a lot. Communication was great with Glen. He was very quick to respond to problems. There were some hornets outside the house and coming into the house, but it was taken care of right away. Also, due to the cold They weren't a problem The second and third day while we stayed. The mountains in the background from master bedroom were beautiful. Every morning there were deer in the back yard. We went to safari park and zoo, natural bridge, and Monacan Indian museum while we stayed here. We went to Vito's, Amherst corner restaurant, and the briar patch in Amherst for dinners/lunch.

Perfect Quiet Getaway
We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The house and property were extremely well maintained. The online photos don’t do justice to how beautiful and peaceful this home is. There were a lot of thoughtful touches that let us know the owners care about the renters and their feedback. Overall 5/5.

Quaint place, beautiful scenery
Loved that the main bedroom had it's own bathroom but it had poor lighting. Internet service was fair. The additional porches were a plus. The firepit area was nice, the solo stove was a nice touch. Could use a set of steps to get in as it was a bit sketchy walking the whole way around in dim lighting. Overall, I would definitely stay there again!

Me and my friends had a fun get together/bachelorette at this house. The pictures do not do it justice! I highly recommend they update them, because it was way better than I expected. The views were amazing. The fire pit and hot tub were great. The house was super clean and nice. The beds were comfortable. All together it was great and exactly what we wanted!

Beautiful home with amazing views
This was out home base for our daughter’s college graduation and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better location. The house slept our family comfortably and provided beautiful mountain views as far as the eye could see. Just minutes from breweries and wineries but the best experience by far, aside from the graduation, was an early morning cup of coffee on the back porch watching all the birds, rabbits, and deer start their day.

Great Mountain Views
Beautiful House with Great Mountain Views. Huge secluded location, with plenty of options to hike around the property. Outside was kept up nicely, as was inside. Kitchen was fully stocked. Heat works very well (we had a few cold nights). Location is great for hitting breweries and wineries. My only negative comment is that you cannot see the river from the house, although you can hear it. River is short walk down the driveway. River looks good for fishing , which we had planned on doing, but weather was a little too cold . Internet and TV worked well. I worked a few days while there and internet speed was great. All in all a great place.

A Glorious Girls Weekend in Virginia!
My group of five ladies loved our stay at Tye River Farm House! We were about 30 minutes from all we needed (hikes., vineyards, food) and the quiet was just what we wanted. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, be comfortable and relax. The hot tub after hiking each day was fantastic. Watching shooting stars after sunset, watching deer grazing on the property at sunrise. Making s’mores by the fire after a big day out. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook a good meal. The beds were comfortable and the views to wake up to can’t be beat. Wanda, the property manager, was quick to help with any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer.

Beautiful & Secluded
This is a beautiful property located within driving distance of many breweries, wineries and ciderworks. Although it was just me and my husband, this huge house and property would be great for multi-family vacations. The house was spotless, including both bathrooms, and the kitchen had all the basic cooking utensils and spices we needed. The hot tub was clean and easy to use. The TVs were all easy to use and have premium channels and access to netflix. My only complaint was the beds. They were really firm and uncomfortable, and we ended up sleeping on couches to get some relief after 2 nights of sleeping on them.

Relaxing time with family
We spent 3 relaxing nights in this wonderful farmhouse. There were 7 of us altogether and it was very comfortable for all of us. We loved the privacy and the open space. Having breakfast on the porch in the cool morning while enjoying the view and fresh air was the best! We went to the brewery, walked on the Blue Ridge trail, floated on the Tye river, went blueberry picking at Seaman's and enjoyed hanging out on the property. Thank you for sharing your house with us! We hope to return.
