Purcellville, Virginia
Welcome to Hillandale! A 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom farmhouse located on 13 acres with a scenic spring-fed pond. A perfect location for family gatherings, large groups attending the many wedding venues nearby, wine tours, bicyclists coming from DC on the W&OD bike trail and more. Originally a 500 acre dairy farm, Hillandale retains the original calfing barn, smokehouse, spring house and other outbuildings. The original two room stone structure in the center of the house dates to 1774, with additions added on over time. As such, many rooms have very low ceilings and doorways - so tall folks please watch your head! There is access to Franklin Park, and it's hiking trails and bridal path, land that originally belonged to Hillandale directly across the street. Downtown Purcellville with its shops, restaurants, craft breweries and distillery is minutes away. Purcellville is also the start point of the W&OD Trail, a bike trail that runs all the way to Washington, DC and is formerly a train line that carried dairy from Hillandale to the White House in the 1930s. The surrounding area is home to many wineries, craft breweries and tourist destinations including the Appalachian Trail and Shenandoah River/Shenandoah National Park.
Accommodations: It will comfortably sleep 12 in beds but there is space for more. On the first floor is a newly updated, well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, a full bathroom, a large living room with TV and sitting area, an adjacent smaller sitting room with original stone fireplace and 2 porches (one screened). Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds, 1 bedroom with a twin trundle bed and 1 bedroom with a full or double bed along with 2 newly renovated full bathrooms (1 with a romantic claw foot tub and separate shower and 1 with a jacuzzi tub). There is also a screened in sleeping porch with two twin beds, weather permitting. Large outdoor space (plenty of room for playing catch/frisbee) with a newly constructed 800 square foot stone patio on the back of the house with a built in propane grill and pizza oven, enough seating for 30+ people and a fire pit. Free wifi throughout. Ample parking in driveway.

A lovely and unique property, full of character. I wish time had allowed more use of the outside amenities, but we were gone much of the time. It's location to Bear's Den where the ceremony was held, and to Bluemont Station Brewery and Winery, where the after party took place was so convenient. I'm curious as to what the other improvements recently finished and in progress will bring? My guests were thrilled.
Place was great and had the room as advertised. Perfect for staying near wedding venues. Highly recommend!
We booked this property for family to stay in for my daughter’s wedding. It was perfect and everyone staying there found it very comfortable. The host was great and accommodating.
By far this was the most wonderful accommodations for a large group or wedding. The host and property were amazing. We loved the area and it was perfect for a wedding gathering. I am hoping to book another trip in the future.
We arrived and spent a nice evening on the beautiful stone patio enjoying a bottle of local wine. Our family arrived the flowing day in preparation of our son’s wedding! There were plenty of cozy bedrooms to choose from and everything was clean and quaint! Would highly recommend this home for a family event/getaway! The host was easy to communicate with and responded to my questions promptly! 5 Stars overall!
This was a really great place to stay and the owner accommodated all of our needs. We threw a bridal tea party in the kitchen and we also hosted a hair and makeup event the day of the wedding. The farmhouse had all the amenities to take care of our family and the kitchen is well stocked. I would book here again!!
Really enjoyed our stay as a large group with children.
This home hits on all notes. The property is charming and unique, it is very clean and WELL-EQUIPPED! There is not much you need to bring here and we found all the kitchen and bathroom supplies super handy on a busy wedding weekend. Robert was responsive and I'd highly recommend his property anyone looking for a stay in the area.
Met our needs for a family get together.
Stayed for a wedding down the road. Clean and comfortable.
We rented the Hillandale property because of the location near our son’s wedding. The house turned out to be a wonderful experience unto itself. The kitchen was very well equipped and the bottle of wine in the refrigerator was a very nice touch. We had 8 adults staying there and had plenty of space and enough bedrooms for everyone. The bathrooms were also very well done and large. We were able to use the outdoor pizza oven and that was fun and a first for us. The history of the house made it a special and unique experience. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time there.
We held a small family reunion and celebration at Hillandale and everything about the weekend was perfect! The outdoor areas were ideal for us to dine together but also break off into small groups. Loved the great blue heron on the pond. Wonderful kitchen. Cozy bedrooms and super bathrooms! Lovely aesthetics! On behalf of my entire family,, I couldn't recommend this venue enough!
What a great location, great hospitality, and great yard games!!!
We stayed for a long weekend with a group of women friends and loved the place! It was so quaint and historic and had all necessary amenities. The outside was so picturesque but also functional. Two cats on property joined our outdoor dining!
Our daughter’s wedding was supposed to happen in the summer of 2020. We had secured Tranquility Farm for the wedding and had rented Hallandale as a place for us and some of our family to stay. Then COVID hit and we had to postpone the wedding until this year. Both Tranquility Farm and Mr. MacDonald worked with us and we we able to have the wedding last weekend. Tranquility Farm was an awesome place to hold the wedding and Hallandale was a great place for us to relax before and after the event. The house is very much what we expected from the vrbo description and the outdoor area is fantastic. There is also a large park across the road with a frisbee golf course and miles of trails to walk.
What a unique farm house. A rare gem! Everyone in our family just loved this space. Many nooks and crannies, cupboards and rooms that lead to other rooms. Many sweet memories made here.
Can’t say enough good things about this home. The historic charm of the 1774 house has been beautifully retained with great updates to the bathrooms and kitchens - and a HUGE outdoor patio. We loved our girls weekend at the house and appreciate all of the thoughtful touches of the owners. We will definitely come back!
The House and grounds are gorgeous! 1774 charm combined with modern amenities! We loved the outdoor patio and pizza oven! But heated commode...seriously....seriously awesome! Will rent again when we return to wine & brewery country if available!!
