Gordonsville, Virginia
Imagine telling your friends you slept in a BARN! But it is the most luxurious barn you can imagine. This apartment is the former milking parlor and office of a 1940's era dairy barn. The barn is now a horse stables, but don't worry, you will not smell or hear horses from inside the apartment. You will, however, see them through the large windows, and you may stroll through the barn to see them up close, or take a few steps over to their paddocks, where you can pet them, feed them apples and carrots, and watch them play.
This iconic bell-roofed barn is at the center of the farm complex at Wolftrap Farm, where we have six other vacation rental homes and host over 60 weddings each year. We converted the Barn Apartment from being a tack room and lounge area for the stables in the spring of 2017. Watch and feed apples and carrots to the horses in the paddocks outside your front door. Take hikes through the woods, fish in our ponds, meet your neighbors who may be staying at the other homes on the farm, and enjoy the incredible views of our little mountain range and our pastures and woods.
And you may want to bring your bathing suits. In the summer, we have a swimming hole in our creek. For cooler months we have a Party Patio with a hot tub and various patio games, including corn hole. The swimming hole and Party Patio are free. You do need to "reserve" the Party Patio by contacting the owner. You can book it for 1 & 1/2 hours per day of your stay, first come first served.
The farm is super-easy to get to (just one turn off a major U.S. highway and after a mile on our farm road, you are there), and is convenient to Monticello, Montpelier, a half-dozen great wineries (most notably, Barboursville and Early Mountain). We are half-way between Gordonsville and Orange (5 miles to each) where you will find excellent restaurants, grocery stores and anything you need during your visit. There is also plenty of antique shopping and beautiful countryside to drive through.
The farm is also convenient to Monticello, Montpelier, UVA, Skyline Drive, a half dozen excellent wineries, and all the beauty of the countryside around Charlottesville.
Wolftrap Farm has been hosting vacationers since 2004 to rave reviews, and in the past few years has become one of Virginia's most popular farm wedding venues. Come see why.
As a horse lover, this stay was perfect for me. We only had a brief stay, but we enjoyed it!
Great experience on this property. We love everything about it from the beautiful mountains to the friendly horses. Truly a hidden gem. We will go back for a longer stay.
We had a fabulous time!!!! From driving onto the property to driving off the farm, we were smiling the whole time. We met Paul when we drove up who was gracious and just wonderful. The dogs were so adorable and just loved being the center of our attention. The horses were stunning and friendly. We made dinner and relaxed in a very comfortable bed. In the morning, we had coffee by the firepit while visiting with the horses. We saw the hot tub and game room but there was way too many other wonderful things. Thank you for such an amazing stay! We will be back!!!
Apartment was small but suited our needs. Scenery is beautiful. Took long walks with our dog. Easy drive to Charlottesville. Hope to stay again and go wine tasting .
We really enjoyed our stay at this barn attached apartment. It was very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere of the farm setting was relaxing and we were able to pet horses.
What a great spot! Serene setting watching the foals and moms running in a field. Owners and staff responsive and polite. It is in the heart of horse country and vineyards are everywhere. I recommend on all fronts.
The apartment was very nice. We enjoyed the beautiful horses, the amazing views and exploring the small towns near the area. We traveled about 15 to 20 minutes (South Route 15) to Rhett’s River Grill and Raw Bar in Zion Crossroads. We had an excellent meal. They have a wide selection and we really enjoyed it. The farm does offer quite a few options for rentals to accomodate every size family. This unit, the Manor House and the Servant’s Quarters are the ones closest to the main barn.
We had a wonderful time. The apartment was just as cute as could be and it felt like home away from home. Sitting outside watching the horses is a memory I will hold onto for a long time:
Cozy little spot in the middle of beautiful farms and woods. Charlottesville is a short drive away for day trips or you can spend plenty of time just relaxing around this property.
Beautiful farm and friendly people. However, the Barn Apartment is listed as having a mobile hotspot and I was unable to connect as there were no available networks that came up in my search for same. In addition, it was stated there was a coffee maker and condiments for same. There was a coffee maker but no filters and no creamer or sweetener so I did without coffeee this a.m.
It was a great experience staying here I am just sorry I had to leave! The apartment is great and the trails are nice. My dog gives it 4 paws up the horses are lovely and well behaved.
