Gordonsville, Virginia
Our historic Manor House (circa 1856) was completely renovated and refurnished in 2004. From its hilltop location, you enjoy commanding views of the Southwest Mountain range and of our vast pastures. Children and adults alike are transported far from the world of the city to life on an old Virginia estate, immaculately restored, situated on land once owned by President James Madison, whose Montpelier home is just on the other side of the mountain.
This is a wonderful place to gather several generations of family in a locale where all ages will be contented. Adults savor the peace and quiet, the views, the local historic sites, museums, fine restaurants, wineries, antique shops and art galleries, scenic drives and quaint villages. Children are endlessly fascinated by having 600 acres on which to run wild, explore nature, skim rocks and fish in ponds, play in our swimming hole, watch horses and cows and wildlife, peer down old wells, smell manure, chase lightening bugs and frogs, and have rural adventures of all sorts. If you can get them off the farm, they can trail ride on a neighboring farm, go rafting, see UVA, visit three former Presidents' homes within a 30 mile radius, or go to a bull-riding event, horse show, or other local summer event.
It is no exaggeration to describe Wolf Trap and its environs as idyllic. Spend some time on a Virginia estate, and see why so many celebrities and jet-setters who could choose to live anywhere have chosen this part of rural Virginia for their country retreats.
We have 6 additional vacation rental homes on the farm. The Servants' Cottage is 30 yards behind the Manor House and sleeps up to four (see vrbo #442721). The Pond House is 150 yards away and sleeps up to 7 (see vrbo #90883). There is also a Barn Apartment, the Milker's Cottage, Baldy's Retreat and the Cox Mill House, plus three glamping tents.

Enjoyed a wonderful Holiday celebration at this historic farm. Looking forward to staying again.
A wonderful family getaway. Stayed in the manor house and fell in love instantly. The pictures do not do the property justice! A beautiful home stocked w everything you need. Friendly and helpful staff at every turn. Please go with your family and relax, unwind, feed horses, hike, bike, hot tub, and relax. We drove 12 hours from Chicago. Would do it again next month!
We are a large group of family members (25+) ranging in ages from 88 down to 1 so finding a place to go to for a Thanksgiving reunion is hard to say the least. Wolftrap farm was almost perfect for our group. The manor house is on of 7 properties available and all are easy walks to the manor house for big meals. Don’t let the outside fool you because the age of house can be seen there. Inside is amazing. Extremely clean and well stocked with all paper products and toiletry items you will need. Beds are very comfortable and well maintained. Outside the views are spectacular and you have plenty of space and activites available to fill up any given day. Everyone had a blast!!
Wonderful home and setting. Very friendly and responsive host and caretaker. Perfect, relaxing getaway any time of year.
Overall property was very nice. Unforseen issues were responded to very timely. Reuniting with family is always great. Good place to relax
We rented the manor house and pond house for our daughter’s graduation, and enjoyed our time at this charming country location.
Great location for a girls weekend get away! Very pretty property
This was a special destination, both in terms of the house itself, and the expansive farm with its beautiful views! The home is beautifully kept up--impressive for a historic property. There are plenty of places for conversation, games, and meals. Gorgeous furniture, too. It is a lovely place for hikes, even in the wintertime, when we visited. Recommend very highly!
Our families had a wonderful Christmas at Wolf Trap. The farm is picturesque and everyone enjoyed the trip immensely:)
Really cool experience staying in a historical home in the middle of a working farm. Farm staff were very polite and it was nice walking around the property. Great location for people looking at going to some of the nearby vineyards (Horton and Barboursville about 20 minutes away) and old historic Orange. Will definitely look to come back in the future.
