Country living at its best! Quarter mile to other houses, at end of long drive. There are 7 vacation homes on our 600 acre farm, widely spaced. Give the kids a taste of nature. Fish in our ponds, swim in the swimming hole in our creek, hike our roads & woodland trails, pet the horses. Enjoy our Party Patio (with its hot tub). Share with another family, as there is room.

Do not be fooled by the Plain Jane exterior. The inside has huge living spaces, and is fabulously tricked out. With four bedrooms and a bonus children's sleeping room, Baldy's can comfortably accommodate 13 people.

Baldy's Retreat is tucked up against the woods on our 600 acre horse and cattle farm. Guests at Baldy's have access to the ponds, Game Barn, woodland trails, horse petting, hiking, bicycles, swimming hole, and the gorgeous scenery of Wolftrap Farm. Out the front door, Baldy's guests have views of horses that will come to the fence for treats, and you may see wild turkeys passing as well. The back deck is well-shaded, and the night noises of frogs and crickets back there are free.

You will also have the option of booking one of our golf carts to use to explore the farm, and to book our Party Patio, with its hot tub, corn hole and other games. (Party Patio must be reserved, 90 minutes per day, first come-first served. Contact the owner to reserve.)

We describe Baldy's as a Retreat because it is almost out of sight and out of earshot of the farm complex. However, a short walk down the drive brings you to additional horse paddocks with friendly horses. Just beyond, you reach the edge of the farm complex, with additional guest cottages, the Manor House, the stables, our Pavilions where we host wedding receptions, the Game Barn, and access to our woodland hiking trails.

Wolftrap Farm is an excellent home base when you want to visit wineries (Barboursville, Horton, Keswick and Hona Lea are within 15 minutes; Early Mountain is within 30). Monticello is a beautiful 30 minute drive away, and Montpelier is just across the little mountains in front of the farm, 15 minutes away. Other historical venues include the Civil War Museum in Gordonsville, James Madison Museum in Orange, Wilderness Battlefield and Michie's Tavern. (Once you book, we will be allowed to tell you how to access the Guest Information Booklet on the Wolftrap Farm website, describing local wineries, historical sites, restaurants, outdoor adventures, and other things to do when you stay at Wolftrap Farm.)

    This house was just perfect for two families with kids. Plenty of room choices for the kids with two nice master bedrooms for the parents. I also loved the two separate hang out spaces and the big open area for the kids to get outside and enjoy the beautiful farm. The host was very easy to reach and very accommodating to our check in times. I also really appreciated that there were little things like paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, hand towels, etc. We truly didn't need to bring anything and felt right at home. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

    SPACIOUS AND COZY There were 2 king size beds, 4 sets of bunk beds, and a very comfy extra large couch. LOCATION Beautiful area. Lots of horse and cows within eye sight of the house. Incredible starlight night sky. Check-in went smooth, kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and the place was clean. Lots of small touches that the host put into providing an amazing experience for us.

    Property was very clean and spacious. Slightly dated, but did not affect our stay. Few too many wasps near entrance and some obvious nests I felt could be dislodged by maintenance. Understand it is located at woods edge. Horses and surroundings are beautiful. Front storm door slightly stubborn. Please update the WiFi name and code. The one I received in my check in instructions not correct. Figured it out. Would recommend this as a stay. No cushions on back deck furniture, or missed where they were located. My error if so.

    The property was great. A quiet removal from the hustle and bustle of Charlottesville, but close enough to serve as a basecamp. The property mgmt was very easily reachable and made the trip a breeze.

    Great place! The kids loved it. We had a fire in the fire pit while the kids played. The horses were friendly. Beds were comfortable. The hostess was responsive when the kids locked the door to one of the bedrooms and we couldn’t get in.

    Our stay was fantastic. Plenty of sleeping area for a large party. The drive was scenic and the farm was beautiful to wake up to. Enjoyed our stay immensely!

    This is on a nice large farm/ranch. The owner/manager was basically easy to get in touch with and answered my questions beforehand. I think it was really nice about 10 or 15 years ago. It is an older mobile home which is really starting to show it's wear. The main picture that is on the listing is from a long time ago. The porch on the pic is brand new. Now it is older, painted and peeling. The inside was ok but not very clean! There was pet hair all over the bedspread in the one bedroom. There was dirt beside the microwave etc. In general it was ok but was rather expensive considering all I just listed above!
