2 hours from Washington, DC, 90 minutes from Richmond,VA
25 minutes from Charlottesville, VA

Spring hassprung at Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals and, yes, we are open for business. We have received a number of inquiries from folks that want to escape to the rural country side for fresh air, open space and stunning mountain views. Our two farms comprise nearly 300 acres fronting on the South River with private hiking trails, springs to explore and miniature horses to enjoy. Our three vacation rentals with fully equipped kitchens are at least 1/10 mile apart with a population density of about one person per 50 acres. Now that’s social distancing! We also use CDC procedures to clean, disinfect and prepare our vacation rentals for each guest’s arrival. The cottages are also self-check-in and our staff stringently practice social distancing with each other and with our guests. Our local grocery as well as drug stores are open and our restaurants are providing curbside pick-up and/or limiting dine-in to ten people. The Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail and Skyline Drive are less than a 15-minute drive from our farms and the entrance fees have been waived. Finally, please know that our prices are at our normal rate. We find it morally and ethically reprehensible that some popular vacation spots at the beach or in the mountains have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled their rates. We will be happy to host you but regardless please be safe and follow all recommended guidelines as the nation works its way through the threat of this virus.

Sit on the porch or in front of the fireplace and feel your stress slip away!

    Loved the peacefulness. Loved the farm animals. House was very clean and host was very friendly. My 4 year old granddaughter had a blast staying there and my 15 year old granddaughter was able to be outside and enjoy herself.

    My sister and I visited over a long weekend during Parent’s Weekend at nearby Blue Ridge School. From start to finish, the weekend was fantastic. I was worried that check-in would be tricky because we arrived late, but they literally “left a light on for us” and made it simple. We entered the cottage to relaxing background music that was so nice we left it on all weekend. The cottage was clean and well cared for, and the farm itself was simply amazing. We enjoyed entertaining L’Etoile, the friendly kitty, feeding the horses and donkeys, and soaking in incredible mountain views. The Ambassador’s brother, John was a special treat— he escorted us to spots on the property where we witnessed spectacular views. He even coached us on taking memorable photos, and gave us a bit of history about the farm and its owner. We have vowed to return and recreate the magic of this weekend. Until next time, Carrie’s Cottage!

    If you want to get away, this is a great place. But be advised, there’s nothing within about 15 minutes. So get food and supplies on your way in. You’re about 45 minutes from downtown Charlottesville.

    Absolutely delightful. A charming cottage with everything you need for comfort. Great host. Gorgeous farm property with co-host cat, miniature horses, and miniature donkeys. Great hiking trail right on the property. A lovely pond. Quiet and secluded. Close to Shenandoah National Park and charming Stanardsville. A real find.

    We really love the property — so peaceful and close to the Skyline Drive. Its a close drive to downtown where you can enjoy Maybelles for breakfast and coffee. Alton and his family are all wonderful people and are very quick to respond if you need anything. Been going for years and will continue to stay at this cottage!

    The home was everything that it said it would be and then some! Very relaxing, clean and in a great location. Close to Shenandoah National Park, restaurants, shops and wineries. Would definitely go back.

    The peace and quiet was exactly what I needed. The treehouse and pool were exactly what my grandchildren needed. And the animals were what we all needed. Perfection! Alton and his staff were wonderful in every way. I'll definitely bring my family again and will highly recommend Carrie's Cottage to friends.

    If you're looking for a place that is off the beaten path, you will find it here! Lots of peace and quiet in this cozy guest house. Beautiful property and easy access to Shenandoah National Park. You may hear nothing but birds singing while you're enjoying your morning coffee or evening beverage on the front porch. Or you can sit at the pond or enjoy hiking trails on the property. You may even be lucky enough to see a family of bears crossing the road while you're hiking -- like we did!

    A very comfortable and relaxing getaway location. Close to the DC metro but worlds away in quiet and simple living. A true vacation.
