Nestled in Virginia’s Piedmont, in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is located near the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville, UVA, and the region’s renowned wine country. Our peaceful countryside farm offers ever-changing mountain vistas, wooded trails, and a calming rural escape.

Still Pond was designed by renowned landscape architects Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a misty morning, the landscape offers breathtaking views in every season. Wildlife can be seen and heard throughout the farm, and the sky—whether filled with stars or a glowing moon—is always spectacular. It’s an ideal setting for birdwatching, wildlife observation, stargazing, or simply soaking in the serenity of true quiet.

Our cozy two-story cottage with a loft and wraparound porch is comfortably furnished for a relaxing getaway. Located near the horse stables, the cottage offers easy parking and views of the barn, paddocks, 60-foot round pen, and natural pond. A wooded border behind the cottage adds privacy and a sense of peaceful seclusion—perfect for nature lovers and stargazers alike. In the evenings, gather around the outdoor firepit and enjoy the fresh mountain air beneath clear country skies.

Come experience the quiet beauty and tranquility of life on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you!

    The perfect rustic cabin feel but with all the amenities you want. Very clean and well-maintained. The host quickly fixed a light in one of the closets when we asked about it. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch while listening to the birds. Close to several wineries!

    We attended a wedding close by & our family stayed here for a weekend. So much nicer than a hotel! Beautiful grounds, lots of privacy & very kind owner. Charlottesville is short 15-20 drive. Highly recommend!

    We had a lovely stay at the Cottage at Still Pond Farm. The rooms are brighter than they appear in photos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the setting was beautiful. We were in town for UVA graduation and it was a pretty 30 minute drive to the festivities. The owner was always very responsive to messages prior to our stay. We had no issues during our stay. I highly recommend this wonderful cottage!

    Lovely horse farm and peaceful! I was disappointed in the Mountain View as advertised. The stunning mountain view was from the owners house. Overall it was very enjoyable.

    We had such a wonderful long weekend at the cottage. We throughly enjoyed our time at the farm, and the barn cat was an added treat. Very comfortable and immaculate interior. Would highly recommend!

    Great place for a family getaway … beautiful farm setting, mountain views, and plenty of wildlife in the area - we saw wild turkeys walking 20 feet from the dining room windows, and many deer on the morning walks. Charming cottage, plenty of room for our party of six. Clean and well equipped with modern appliances and air conditioning. The best part was the friendly cat that will greet you every morning on the front deck! Great location to visit the area wineries, tour Skyline Drive, or hike the mountain trails that are nearby.

    We recently stayed in this rental and loved the peace and quiet. The horses were lovely to be around and the farm cat was adorable.

    We had a great time at Still Pond. The cabin is accurately described in the post and really has everything one would need for a stay away from home. The host is very responsive, understanding, and generous in sharing this unique property nestled on a beautiful horse farm in the Virginia countryside.
