Repite in Transit

Stayed for 2 nights with our 2 pups in transit for an interstate move. We stopped in the area to visit with friends on our way. Clover Hill delivered on the peace and quiet for us + all the smells for the dogs. The Rosalie was clean, quaint, and exactly as pictured. Thank you!

Wonderful and peaceful getaway

The Rosalie was such a peaceful place to stay. I was looking for a quiet, serene place to stay with my 2 dogs, and what a great find! Ellen was a wonderful host, and we especially enjoyed her friendly dog, Moses, as he showed us around the farm in the mornings and evenings during our walks. The farm was also a short drive into Short Pump where I was visiting. I would 100% recommend this stay!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful place.

My wife and I and our dog stayed in the Rosalie while in town for a wedding. The accommodations were cozy and charming and we loved to read about the history of the house and property, which really made it come alive. The property is beyond picturesque and perfect for walks. Ellen is a very kind and responsive host and I thank her for her quick responses to our questions and for affording us such a wonderful place to stay.

Pleasant, quiet and relaxing place to stay.

We enjoyed out stay at the horse farm, the dog loved running the grounds when we rode our bikes around the trails. Restaurant recommendations were welcomed. Loved reading the history of the farm, very interesting.

The Rosalie

I stayed at the Rosalie for 8 nights and throughly enjoyed my stay there. The property grounds are absolutely beautiful and well kept. I enjoyed evenings on the deck watching the horses feeding in the open fields. The house was furnished nicely and included many references of past families and historical events. The property is incredibly private but communication with the owner was seamless. I look forward to returning to the property hopefully this winter.

Peaceful

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Rosalie. I came for a week to quarantine after a flight before a family visit. An added bonus was this tranquil spot in the country. So peaceful and quiet! I will be back to rent the James sometime.

Well Planned Rental

Ellen, the owner, planned this rental well for our stay by: Communicating with us in a timely manner. Utilizing a lockbox for ease of entry. Providing linens, blankets, towels, toilet paper. Stocking the kitchen with plates, utensils, pots & pans. Providing an instruction booklet for the rental with additional suggestions for walking paths on the property and nearby restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Extremely Relaxing Getaway

The Rosalie was the perfect getaway for my fiance and me. The property is beautiful and offers plenty of space. Ellen, as well as her super friendly dog, greeted us upon arrival, ensuring we were all settled and letting us know we were free to stroll the property. I highly recommend taking an evening stroll on the property and watching the sunset from the porch. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely farmhouse

We were looking for a place from which to visit with parents with our two small dogs. Ellen was wonderful to work, everything in the house is well marked and Ellen was available to answer any questions. The horse farm is lovely and the resident Percherons are very friendly. We stayed in the apartment and the upper room is really nicely done with high wood ceilings. The kitchen and dinning area below is a little dark and has a cement floor but Ellen has made it cozy and provides plenty of heaters. But the best is the deck and the view. Very relaxing overlooking various out building. And you can walk the lanes and paths on the property.

A Soul's Retreat!

Words truly fail me when trying to properly describe the aesthetic beauty and tranquil retreat of Clover Hill Farm. No pictures posted could EVER do it justice. And then there's Ellen's personal attention to making one feel comfortable and welcomed. If you are visiting the Richmond area, Clover Hill Farm will suit your every need--and then some. If you live in Richmond or the surrounding areas, make this a place of personal retreat. THANK YOU, Ellen!

Great Virginia country get away!

Ellen has really put her own personal touches on this lovely country home! The serenity and peacefulness were just what we were looking for, while still being close enough to visit our family nearby in Richmond. If you take the time to read the written history of the farm and Ellen's Aunt Rosalie and Uncle James, you will appreciate the farm even more. Loved the wood ceiling and skylights on the upper floor to wake up to, as well as the river rock floor in the shower! Since the weather turned cold during our visit, we appreciated the warmth of the electric fireplace downstairs. The kitchen was well equipped, and renters could easily stock it with groceries and cook all meals there. We, however, only made breakfast each morning, as we met with family or took day trips everyday. Being rather remote, local restaurants were somewhat limited. The black Percheron horses on the farm were SO grand and interesting to watch. We also saw many white tail deer running across the acreage during our visit! Our 2 large dogs being able to travel with us made the rental choice easy. However, since we live in a Deed Restricted neighborhood in Florida and they are always walked on leash, I personally was uneasy letting them run free on the property. Thus, a small fenced in area among the acreage might be something Ellen should consider for future renters. We definitely plan a return visit in the future! 10/10, Ellen!

Beautiful and Bucolic

My extended family stayed in both the James and the Rosalie while we attended a wedding at a local event venue nearby. All members of our family enjoyed the house, the beautiful outdoors, and the chance to be together. We had a few minor issues in the Rosalie to which the owner responded to quickly, but the James was our primary spot for gathering and sharing meals. We really enjoyed the beautiful artwork and reading the stories and history of the home that were displayed for our reading pleausre.

Ahhhh....

Such a sweet place! My husband and I were recently in the vicinity for a family wedding. When I reached out to Ellen, she was immediately responsive and informative. By sheer luck, I’d happened upon the perfect place that neighbored the venue. Sold! What I wasn’t quite expecting was this gorgeous, expansive farm. Upon arrival, we were greeted and made to feel welcome. Everything pictured online is there. Very comfortable for two. Towels, bed linens, a fully stocked kitchen. But it’s the outside, the farm itself, that steals the show. It’s breathtaking! Our sweet old man poodle loved his freedom to explore. As did we. Do not miss sunrises. Or, for that matter, sunsets! But the stars.... oh, my, sitting on the deck gazing at the stars is worth the trip! The only thing that would’ve made that experience better would’ve been zero gravity chairs. (Then again, we may never have gone inside.😉) Thank you, Ellen, for sharing your beautiful place with us. We’d love to come back for a longer stay with no commitments to steal our time. We wholeheartedly recommend!!😊

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Pons

I live on my family's commercial thoroughbred nursery in Bel Air Maryland Country Life Farm, When not helping out in a myriad of ways with the farms. I work as a professional photographer and artist. I love spending time exploring nature over any social gathering. I spend more time and money shopping at home improvement stores than department stores. When I travel I like to park the car, read, paint and listen to good music,

Why they chose this property

Clover Hill is the farm my great aunt and uncle chose in 1957 to downsize as retirement loomed from his job at Farmers and Merchants bank. I purchased it from my siblings in 2008. Goochland is a lovely cedar tree dotted landscape where nature still rules. I love the quiet of the farm and the close proximity to Richmond / Ashland and Charlottesville. But I mostly just like staying on the farm with family friends and my dogs watching the day roll by from the porch of the Rosalie.
