We stayed one night on our way to the Outter Banks. We were greeted by the sweetest pup and family. We even received delicious fresh cherries. The accommodations were as pictured and very clean and comfortable. We have never stayed at a location, so well stocked. The farm was so cute. Our five-year-old loved playing with the ownerâs daughter and learning about the chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas. They even showed him how to pick his own eggs! This location was perfect for relaxing after a long day in the car. If we are ever coming this way again, we will definitely be stopping back. Thank you for being great hosts. Love you I was daddy
The rental is on the back of a farmhouse in a beautiful rural area. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly Pyrenees who patrolled , providing security for chickens, ducks, goats, turkeys and alpacas. The host was very accommodating and the kitchen well-stocked. Two cute bedrooms (check out the "Van Goat" room) and a nice bathroom. Wonderful in every way!
The farm is just a wonderful place. Love how the animals are all around and very cute. Lovely scenic area. The two bedroom walkout basement is very nice and clean. Wonderful stay only complaint was we made a reservation for one night next time we will be staying longer.
Our accommodations were great. Nice kitchen area with plenty of coffee. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were welcoming. Bathroom was very very nice. Looked newly updated. We were welcomed by alpacas, chickens, ducks, and goats. So fun!I knew when I booked this that it was a more relocation, which was fine. People should know, though that you may not have service in the house depending who your carrier is however, however, there is Wi-Fi available.Also, the roads to get to the property are very twisty â definitely back roads. Not a problem for me, but my aunt did stay with us and I could tell she was a little nervous driving back to the house at night in the dark. This would not keep me from booking again, but if I was staying with someone whoâs a little more timid of a driver and they would need to drive that might make me look at another property just for their sake. But overall, it was great and the hosts were very helpful.
We had a great time! Our two year old and four year old loved all the animals. They enjoyed feeding them and picking fresh eggs. Very clean and laid back. Had everything we needed to cook meals and have a comfortable stay.
First, the hosts are so friendly and helpful and kind! Couldn't ask for nicer hosts. The property is lovely and hanging out with so many animals is such a bonus. Watching the ducks was especially fun!
The hosts also went above and beyond with extras, from a stocked donation based pantry to toiletries to extra towels and blankets
Everything was great - from the warm family welcome to the serene setting to the fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen, ensuring if you forgot something you were not stuck! Stuart, Christina and PIppa were lovely and could not have been more helpful and welcoming. We will definitely check this farm out again - could not have been more fun!
Only wish we could have stayed longer. The place is spotlessly clean and much better stocked than any hotel anywhere. My granddaughter (8) didn't want to leave all the animals. It was much better than a petting zoo.
Our family of three had a wonderful stay at this cute farm. Our hosts were great and showed us around their collection of alpacas, goats, chickens, and ducks. The rental unit is clean and comfortable and was well stocked with drinks and snacks.
We had a peaceful girls trip and were greeted by a smiling dog, farm animals, and the family (hosts). The home was clean, comfy, well stocked, and within 20 min of stores, wineries, and restaurants. The animals that we got to feed, pet, and learn about, made our vacation special. Thank you to Stuart, Christina, and Piper for your hospitality, and to Luna for being the sweetest dog. We will bring our young grandkids next time!
What an amazing retreat! The hosts were wonderfully warm and inviting, the fury/feathered host were so receptive to petting and loves, and the apartment was perfect. It was filled with everything you could ever want during a stay (extra blankets, water, juice, fresh eggs - etc). My son and I felt so relaxed and at home. Grateful.
My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at this farm! The hosts were some of the sweetest people weâve ever met! It truly was so hard to leave this property because it felt like home the moment we arrived. Would definitely come back any time we want to get away or just are in the area!
Great hosts! The apartment is clean and comfortable. It was so relaxing to stay on the farm and watch the animals. My kids enjoyed the pool, the duck family was adorable, and one of the alpacas came up to the fence for me to pet it. If I get back to the Charlottesville area I would stay here again.
Dear Christina,
Thank you for sharing your home and making us feel very welcomed during our stay. Your hospitality was above and beyond what we had expected. The fridge was stocked with various drinks. The freezer had frozen food. There were snacks on the table. And there were also books and games in the cabinets. Your place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom had things that travelers might have forgotten. You really put a lot of thoughts into this. And we really appreciate that.
We were pleasantly surprised to find out that we could pet your goats, llamas, chickens and ducks. And how can we forget our experience with Luna. Sheâs such a cool dog.
On top of those things you even gave us some chicken and duck eggs when we departed. And knowing that you became a VRBO hostess so that you could provide a place for the animals you rescued made us feel even better about our decision to stay at your place.
The only suggestion we have is to add a towel hook by the shower so that it is convenient. But thatâs a very minor thing.
Thanks again and best wishes to you and your family.
Fantastic hosts. Separate apartment in the basement of family house. Beds excellent. Great shower. Hosts provided not only snacks but fresh eggs from their chickens! They have a super friendly dog, many chickens, ducks, goats, and alpacas. I got to feed and pet and brush them. If I'm ever near Charlottesville again I'll come back here for sure.
We had a wonderful time staying at Moonfire Farm! We came for hiking and a peaceful stay off the beaten path and found that as well as great hosts and fun, friendly livestock. Thanks again!
This place was AMAZING! Only regret is that we planned too many activities away from the house, so we didn't get to spend much time with the animals. We plan to come back next year and spend more time there on the farm with the animals, which by the way are the sweetest animals ever!!! Hosts Christina and Stuart were so warm and inviting and quick to respond to our questions. They also had the place stocked well with snacks and drinks. Fire pit on the last night was so relaxing and cozy!! And last, but certainly not least.....LUNA. Luna is the SWEETEST dog and LOVES attention which is perfect because we loved spending time with her!! If you are looking for a nice, relaxing getaway to nature and calmness, but still a quick trip to wineries, breweries, shopping, hiking, great food...... this is it!! You wil not be disappointed!
The property was absolutely gorgeous inside and well stocked. The hosts were accommodating and even iffered to let us feed the animals. We will certainly return.
The description of the property was exactly as stated. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much. Canât wait to come again and stay longer than one night. Their were snacks and food in the freezer and drinks in the refrigerator. We also enjoyed the electric fireplace, and it made it so cozy. The farm animals were a lot of fun to pet and Anna Luna the dog was super friendly and very sweet! Thank you for having us!
Space was as described, small but cozy and homey, and host was easy to communicate with. Many thoughtful touches like small snacks and drinks. Bed was comfy; updated bathroom is not connected to bedroom, but is just across the hall. Be ready to drive curvy roads and be 'way out in the country, yet only a few minutes from "civilization". We enjoyed out stay.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the host! So many special touches to the house which made us feel right at home. We appreciated the time spent with the animals and on their property - swings, zipline!!! It was a perfect place to stay with our 10 and 12 year olds. If we are back in the area, we will definitely be staying again!
