About this house rental

Elmwood Acres is a renovated farmhouse with a heated pool situated among 100+ acres of cattle pastures and orchards. 4 BR / 3 BA in the farmhouse plus 1 BR and a half bath in the fully-conditioned barn. Enjoy a heated pool with brand-new large stone patio, incredible wide-open mountain views, stunning sunsets, and 15 nearby wineries/breweries/orchards. Property has heated pool, large patio, "man cave", playhouse, game room. Great for family reunions, week-long vacations, and special occasions. THE PROPERTY: When you pull up the driveway and look to your right you will overlook the pasture and see some of the best mountain views in all of Virginia. The view can be enjoyed from the pool, patio, barn deck, fire pit, and swing. The entire perimeter of the house has screen porches or patios for long conversations, coffee, meals, and drinks among family and friends. Behind the house there is a large, deep (6 ft) saltwater pool with a waterfall and brand new, large natural stone patio with seating for the whole group. Adults and kids will love it three seasons per year (April - October), as the pool can be heated for an additional fee based on the number of days/time of year (just ask for details!). The kids will get lost with amazement in the detached barns/structures: the main barn with a bedroom and half bath, a small kids playhouse, and a big kids (adult) game room/man cave. There is a walking trail around the property, abundant landscaping, and a fire pit with six adirondack chairs which always prompt long talks under the clear, starry nighttime skies. THE HOUSE: In the house you will find the charm of an 1890's farmhouse. Large kitchen with a 8 person dining table and separate 4 person breakfast nook overlooking the garden. There is also a 6 person outdoor dining table and chairs on the brick patio off the kitchen. Top notch Samsung appliances and plenty of counter space for cooking. Efficient washer/dryer adjacent to the kitchen to accommodate your big group! The family room is relatively small but cozy with a high-end Jotul woodstove that will warm up the whole house on fall and winter nights. Still plenty of room for TV and snuggles, but you will most likely want to spend your time around the pool, on the screen porches to the side and front of the house, or the back patio. Four bedrooms in the main house (3 upstairs, 1 downstairs), all good sizes and well appointed. Master bedroom is upstairs with a king bed and two chairs overlooking the pool/gardens. One bedroom upstairs is clearly setup for kids (2 bunks plus a twin). The third bedroom upstairs has a queen size bed and TV. The downstairs bedroom has a king size bed and TV. There is an additional bedroom with a king size bed in the barn. The barn bedroom also has a pellet stove, wall AC/heat unit, refrigerator, coffee maker, and a composting toilet. The Barn is about 100 yards from the house. The barn also has a wrap around deck with views that will make you melt at sunset. This property is perfect for family reunions, week-long family vacations, and memorable occasions. Access to the property is secured by a gate. House is accessed through a key pad lock. Both codes will be provided by email/text before check-in! You are smack dab in the middle of hundreds of acres of orchards (open for Strawberry and Blueberry picking in the Spring/Early Summer) and pastures (plenty of cows in site!). There are another 7 orchards within a 15 minute drive. At least 8 wineries/breweries within 15 minutes (Blue Mountain Barrell House, Lovingston Winery, Devils Backbone Brewery, Outback Brew House, Blue Toad Hard Cidery, Rebec Vineyards, Lazy Day Winery). Lots of hiking nearby too: Appalachian Trail, Crabtree Falls, Fortunes Cove, Blue Ridge Railroad Trail, etc. We can refer a private driver if you prefer for day trips to the numerous nearby wineries and breweries...Just ask! Pool is available for all guests and can be heated three seasons per year for additional fee that depends on the time of year (outdoor temperature) and number of nights. We do not seek to make any money on heating the pool, just to cover the costs of propane which heats it. If you are interested in having the pool heated, just ask!

My husband, 6 month old, our dog and friends stayed for a week at this incredible property. The mountain views from the house, pool, barn, etc are better than anywhere we visited in the area and we didn't want to leave most days. We even had a local photographer come take family pictures! The pool, fire pit, making meals, and having a private chef (TJ, ask the owner for his info) come in to cook for us – each day was relaxing, cozy, and fun. The house is close to many things to do – 15 mins or less to wineries, breweries, cideries, grocery store, and antiques, but it feels incredibly private. The landscaping is beautiful too – the koi pond and all the different plants around the property were so pretty. The beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, the washer and dryer came in handy, and the pool was such a treat. By day two of our trip we were already talking about how and when we could come back. The host is very responsive – we needed more firewood and the pool vacuum stopped working and the host was very quick to bring in more wood and come resolve the issue with the pool. We paid the fee to have the pool heated and it was well worth it – I do not like cold water at ALL and it was the perfect temperature. We got to swim with our baby in the pool each day and that was super special. Overall we made so many memories and can't wait to go back!

We have stayed multiple places over the last few years and this was a truly amazing experience. The communication with the owner was quick and helpful. The views were top notch. We had a group with ages ranging from 2 to 65 and everyone enjoyed his/her stay. Also the pool was heated to a perfect temperature that the kids could enjoy it morning and night!

This farmhouse is the perfect place to unplug. The views, the house and the pool made our trip complete. Kyle is such a welcoming host and he provides everything you would need for a quick getaway. We cannot wait to return!

We stayed in the middle of winter but still found the house/property enjoyable even though it was cold outside. The house is very spacious with large bedrooms and kitchen area. There are several spaces dedicated for children too (we were all adults). The hosts went above and beyond and left a s'mores basket on the counter, which was fabulous! We brought food to cook for the meals but completely forgot about s'more supplies for the bonfire. The mountain view was great and we witnessed two beautiful sunsets. We are thinking we need to go back again when the pool is open. :-)

Our stay at the farmhouse was amazing!!! The house was beautiful, nicely decorated and spotless!! We loved cooking in the big country kitchen and sitting by the wood stove in the evenings after a busy day outside. The bedrooms were nice in size and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. We had everything we needed. The property was very private, only hearing an occasional moo in the distance from the surrounding farm. Stargazing was amazing while sitting outside by the large fire pit enjoying a glass of wine and making s’mores. The sunsets, mountain and pastoral views were breathtaking!!! Thank you so much Krystal and Kyle for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We will be back!!

Home was beautiful and exactly as described. Property is gorgeous and views of mountains and evening sunsets were heart-stopping. Extra bedroom in barn was very nice and heater worked well. (The debate has already started with who will get to use it next time... note: 1/2 bath only, no shower in barn though - so need to use house). Owners very responsive.
