Wolftrap Farm features seven vacation rental homes, with the conversion of this 1940's era tenant cottage. Built as on-site housing for a milker when the farm was a dairy, this cottage is classic. Our 2015 renovation added a second bath and a screened porch for outdoor dining, with views of three adjoining horse paddocks. Guests have access to our fish-filled ponds, a swimming hole in our creek, endless woodland trails, a play barn with pool, ping-pong, Foosball, corn-hole, etc. Great foryoung families (bring the dog), girls' getaways, multiple generations, wine touring, visits to Monticello, Montpelier and UVA. (NOTE: vrbo classifies the Milker's Cottage as 3 bedrooms because of the sleeper sofa in the living room. It in fact has only two proper bedrooms, plus the sleeper sofa in the living room.)

Newsflash: We have added a Party Patio that can be booked by the hour, where you can enjoy a large Hot Tub, corn hole and other games. If you think you may be interested, pack your bathing suits and contact the owner to reserve your time (90 minutes per day for each day you stay, first come-first served.).

The Milker's Cottage is far from the sounds of traffic, but only a mile off U.S. Highway 15, making for easy excursions for sightseeing and shopping. We are halfway between Gordonsville and Orange, so you have your choice of quaint village or County Seat, each less than 5 miles away. Each has abundant restaurants, quaint shops, museums and all modern amenities.

The drive to Monticello through Keswick and Shadwell is one of the most scenic drives in America. Montpelier is just 15 minutes away, directly across the mountains you see from the front of the farm.

Barboursville, Horton, Keswick and Honna Lee Wineries are all within 20 minutes drive, and Early Mountain is 30 minutes away.

Other Drive Times: Charlottesville (25 minutes); Culpeper (30 minutes); Monticello (35 minutes); Gordonsville or Orange (5 minutes); Montpelier (15 minutes); Richmond (60 minutes); D.C. (100 miles)

But why leave the farm There is endless hiking on the farm, all the fish you can catch, fire-pit in the back yard (firewood supplied), horses to watch and pet, plenty of peace and quiet, and room for the kids (and the dog) to run.

    This place was phenomenal. Gorgeous, well-appointed cottage, absurdly comfortable beds, a lovely screened in porch, with horses visible at all times and a pond that my son never wanted to stop fishing in. They even provide poles.My daughter was able to ride a horse with Sommer and played with his dogs, and that made her trip.The town is lovely, it’s extremely close to several winery, and there are some surprisingly GOOD restaurants within 10-15 minutes. The food at Fabio’s is delightful and the pickles at the BBQ restaurant are an experience in and of themselves. Food Lion is 9 minutes away! So easy, a great family getaway!!! We’ll be back when it’s warm enough to enjoy the swimming hole.Thank you!!

    This property was beautiful. The staff and owner were very nice and answered any questions we might have had. Couldn't have asked for a better family get together. Kids had a blast petting the horses and seeing all the animals. Boys loved the fishing at the ponds. Thank you for making our weekend together memorable.

    If you’re planning to visit this place, don’t hesitate — it’s the perfect getaway from city noise, with lots of wildlife and pristine, beautiful nature! I’d give it 10 stars, but that option doesn’t exist

    Quiet, picturesque and plenty of history in the area to explore. Owners seem to be very generous in allowing guests to wander the property. Enjoyed the “things to know” information that was provided. Wish we had more time to explore the property and the surrounding area. Appreciate the pet friendly accommodations. Would stay again.

    We enjoyed our very short stay at the Milk House Cottage. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have two full baths. It was quiet and at night, the sky was so dark, the stars were in clear view. The added bonus was the sun porch with the horses just steps away. We would love to return to this little cottage in the future.

    This is the second time we've stayed on the Wolftrap property. The property was amazing. The house we stayed in was different from our last stay and it was perfect. Horses just outside the house, wedding by the lake and a reception at the pavilion. Property manager was awesome. Always checking to see if we needed anything and ensuring our stay was meeting our expectations. We would and have recommended you stay at any house on the property as well as events such as a wedding.

    Beautiful area, woke up to horses off the back porch. Adequate room for 5 adults and 1 child. Parents, daughter and grandchild used the room with bunk beds. Helpful property manager. Would stay again.
