Smithsburg, Maryland
You’ll love my place because of the farm animals, pond, hiking, camping, biking, history, culture, nearby cities, nearby historic towns, shopping centers, wineries, farms and more.
My farm is situated near Cunningham Falls State Park and Appalachian Trail. You can hike to the park from my farm. There's a fire pit built into the patio, farm animals for petting and feeding, and a yard for camping if you wish. My farm is near Civil War battlefields and other tourist attractions.

My family loved the setting and location of this property. They loved the farm animals, the pond and the fire pit. My only constructive criticism would be the cleanliness of the house could have been better.
What a beautiful setting!!! The kids absolutely loved this place!!! The animals were so fun to watch and feed! Wish we could have stayed longer!
A beautiful property with peacocks and goats! Very nice and good communication
The farm was great! So peaceful and feeding the animals was fun. The host was great and responsive, we’plan definitely be back!!
We appreciated our accommodating hosts. Clean sheets and overall clean place to stay. It was a farmhouse so it had the typical critters that live in the country. Not too many farm animals left, only goats and peacocks. :( my daughter was sad. Still, I would come back again…we loved fishing!
My spouse, friends and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Pleasant Valley Farmhouse. We sat on the deck, we enjoyed the view--willow trees, pond and open space and enjoyed our meals in the pleasant room next to the kitchen.The buildings gave us the impression we were truly on a farm, and although we didn't feed the animals, we saw the goat and heard the peacock. Our rides on the back roads, lemonading through the rural countryside contrasted to our trip to Hagerstown and our visit to the Museum a Medicine, a wonderful display of historical relics and dioramas of the Civil War. The inside was tended and clean and suitable to our needs, and the owner assured me the outside accumulation of garbage in the shed would be picked up after we left. The only thing that inhibited us from walking the property was the tall grass surrounding the buildings
Overall, we loved the home. It was reasonably priced, well stocked, and check in/out was a breeze. The goats and peacocks were awesome, and definitely a highlight of the trip. Would definitely stay again and recommend. A few things to note: It is an old farm house, so it is a little drafty (socks or slippers). It was clean in the sense that it was sanitary, but old farm house dust and such. Wifi was a little slow. Good enough for emails and iPad, not great for webex meetings. Cell service is non-existent. Used wifi calling with limited success. If you are looking for a comfortable, no fuss place to relax, this is it.
Overall this was a good relaxing weekend with the company of the farm animals to tend to. The house was nice and the area was quiet and peaceful. Picked this property specifically for the pigs, last year we went to the islands and swam with the pigs for our anniversary. So as silly as it seems after confirming with the host, there were no piggies. So we were very disappointed. We were allowed to check in a little early, the host told us there was no reservations before my date. We got there and the house had not been cleaned or set up, so we contacted the host and the cleaning people were there quickly. Not to the owner: It was concerning the amount of standing water on the basement floor. Also there was a large tub sitting under the pipes with stagnate water in it. The toaster does not work. There was no remote for the upstairs TV, which we love to watch TV in bed, contacted the host again, we were told to use the remote for the downstairs TV. They are different brands, no luck. There was also stagnate water sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher that was slimly and under the kitchen sink was damp with water, there was a paper towel roll that had soaked most of it up. You may have some plumbing issues.
We went to the Chambersburg IceFest and needed a place to stay with our little dogs. The farm was a goid place to stay.
Was a good weekend to just relax. Despite rain all day and unable to hike, was still a relaxing.
One of our top 3 trips as a family. We will definitely be back to enjoy more time at the farm. The goats and pigs were so entertaining. The land was beautiful. Fly fishing right near by and quality time with our child who is a student at MSMU only 20 minutes away. What a sweet treasure?
This farmhouse is a wonderful getaway spot. It sits on beautiful land, with plenty of yard to run around, a pond, farm animals, woods to poke around in, and right by Cunningham Falls State park. The house is simply furnished, but has everything you need to stay. The animals are fun to feed, and the outdoor space is the real jewel. We ate every meal outside, made a fire in the fire pit, and ran around to our hearts content. The owners were responsive, and answered all our question. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend.
Privacy , History a great place
We didn’t spend much time at the farm aside from sleeping and tending to the animals, but it was quiet and comfortable with plenty of room for the family. We enjoyed our stay, and it was close to local attractions and restaurannts.
Exactly as described
The house is in a great location and was very peaceful. Check in and out was easy. However the house was not very well kept, the fridge was leaking water, the toaster didn't work, the trash hadn't been taken out and there was standing water in the basement. It's a rustic experience and there is no cell service and thr WiFi is very slow. It's great to get away from it all.
This is the second year we stayed and enjoyed it just as much as last year. There's so much to see in Gettysburg and the surrounding area. We love the quietness of the property.
Loved the farm, it was beautiful, and my favorite part was taking care of the animals,(pot bellied pigs, goats, chickens and peacocks)my 2 kids loved it too, the goats are soooooo freakin adorable btw and i couldnt get enough of them either, the house was super nice too, it had all the emenities, will definitely stay again :) :) :)
