About this cottage rental
Wolftrap Farm features seven vacation rental homes, with the conversion of this 1940's era tenant cottage. Built as on-site housing for a "milker" when the farm was a dairy, this cottage is classic. Our 2015 renovation added a second bath and a screened porch for outdoor dining, with views of three adjoining horse paddocks. Guests have access to our fish-filled ponds, a swimming hole in our creek, endless woodland trails, a "play barn" with pool, ping-pong, Foosball, corn-hole, etc. Great for young families (bring the dog), girls' getaways, multiple generations, wine touring, visits to Monticello, Montpelier and UVA. (NOTE: vrbo classifies the Milker's Cottage as 3 bedrooms because of the sleeper sofa in the living room. It in fact has only two proper bedrooms, plus the sleeper sofa in the living room.) Newsflash: We have added a Party Patio that can be booked by the hour, where you can enjoy a large Hot Tub, corn hole and other games. If you think you may be interested, pack your bathing suits and contact the owner to reserve your time (90 minutes per day for each day you stay, first come-first served.). The Milker's Cottage is far from the sounds of traffic, but only a mile off U.S. Highway 15, making for easy excursions for sightseeing and shopping. We are halfway between Gordonsville and Orange, so you have your choice of quaint village or County Seat, each less than 5 miles away. Each has abundant restaurants, quaint shops, museums and all modern amenities. The drive to Monticello through Keswick and Shadwell is one of the most scenic drives in America. Montpelier is just 15 minutes away, directly across the mountains you see from the front of the farm. Barboursville, Horton, Keswick and Honna Lee Wineries are all within 20 minutes drive, and Early Mountain is 30 minutes away. Other Drive Times: Charlottesville (25 minutes); Culpeper (30 minutes); Monticello (35 minutes); Gordonsville or Orange (5 minutes); Montpelier (15 minutes); Richmond (60 minutes); D.C. (100 miles) But why leave the farm? There is endless hiking on the farm, all the fish you can catch, fire-pit in the back yard (firewood supplied), horses to watch and pet, plenty of peace and quiet, and room for the kids (and the dog) to run.

Group of work friends who traveled to Gordonsville for the day to do wine tastings. We stayed at this wonderful cottage which was decorated for the holidays and was very comfortable and cozy! Played games and enjoyed the hot tub. Woke to horse right outside the house, friendly and curious, fun to pet.

The place is really quiet, clean and relaxing to stay. Easy to find using GPS. Fantastic for our young kids as horses are close to the milker's cottage (about 10meters). You can walk the property looking at even more horses. Beds confortable, large master bathroom, kitchen has every furnitures you need. We advise also Oakland Heights for horse riding.

We had a wonderful night at the Milker's Cottage. Property is so peaceful and the children in our group (6, 3, and 1) had a blast exploring the farm.
The house has some very minor bumps and bruises that if you are super uppity might bother you, but we thought it was great. Looking forward to staying here again.

We absolutely loved seeing the horses every morning. We fed them everyday and had gotten used to seeing us everyday. House was very cozy and clean. We'd love to return one day and stay longer.

We loved our mini getaway to the Milkers Cottage! Close to so much history! We loved making friends with the horses and enjoying the farm! We went horse back riding at the farm next door, had s’mores by the fire and went through 15lbs of carrots feeding the horses!! We
Will so be back again!

We stayed in the winter. Very cozy and it was very relaxing seeing the horses. The guidebook the hosts put together was really fun to read. Cool history and great recommendations. Thanks!

Really unique place and experience. A cottage in the middle of a farm.. but it works. We loved it. Also this place is really a lot prettier than the pictures.

Even though the house was small it still met our requirements. My group enjoyed the animals and the quiet evening.

My bridesmaids and I stayed in the milker’s cottage the night before my wedding and absolutely loved the property. The house is decorated very nicely, the furniture is all good quality, and the beds are very comfy. The only complaint any of us had was that all the data from the hotspot had already been used so if your cell carrier doesn’t provide service to the area you might not have any cell connectivity. I highly recommend this property especially for large groups and would stay more than one night if possible. I would love to be able to come back and explore the property and area even more in the future.

The house is very clean and comfortable. The screened-in porch is amazing! We loved the views of horses on three sides of the house! Simply a beautiful, relaxing and entertaining home. It was the perfect getaway for me and my two teens. They loved petting the horses and exploring the property! Thank you. I really hope we can return one day!!

You wake up and there are horses visible from all windows. We stayed for a week and had a lot of fun. Many horses were properly hugged. We did not want to be bothered, and did not really talk to anybody on the farm. Property is quite big and you can spend hours walking around. House that we stayed in was old, but everything worked fine and we did not have any issues. Internet access was limited but we expected it. Charlottesville is about 40 minutes away, we went to a few events there.

This is a lovely property on a horse farm just outside of Gordonsville, Virginia and about 30 minutes from Charlottesville. Very clean and well apportioned home that’s a great place to relax.

Hanging out with the horses
It was super awesome waking up surrounded by horses. We made a good decision getting a giant bag of carrots on the way in. Kids loved it, and the local kitty cat was super friendly. Great for families!

Fantastic Family-Friendly Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially with two infants with us. The accommodation was just as advertised, and the communication with the property manager was seamless. This was an enjoyable getaway and provided a great base as we traveled to and from neighboring cities like Charlottesville.

Hidden Gem
Stopped here for a night to break up our drive to the OBX. What a treasure! Screened in porch was awesome to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful surroundings after a long day in the car. Being able to bring our pup narrows our options but this property was clean, modern, and had everything we needed and more! Beds were amazingly comfortable, which I find rare in a rental. Thank you for a beautiful night! Would highly recommend!!

Wonderful location
Due to a booking screw up I stayed in the Cox Mill House property, rather than Milker's Cottage, which is what I booked and really wanted. I was told of the change a few hours before check in. Thankfully, I was refunded the difference in the cost without me even asking. My rating reflects this mistake and not the property itself.
Cox Mill is located just outside the farm, so a short walk to the horses. Property was clean and presented well.
The property is just a few minutes from and restaurants and a supermarket. The BBQ Exchange in Gordonsville is fantastic.
I would visit again...if I could get Milker's Cottage.
PS. Note to the owner. The screen in the kitchen window needs to be replaced. Thanks.

This is the second time I have stayed at Wolftrap. This was my first time at the Cox Mill House and it was lovely. Tina was very responsive to some questions I had during my stay.
Only one thing at the property needs to be fixed besides a chair leg that broke when I sat on the chair. I already let Tina know about that that and she said no problem. I am really not that fat. LOL! The overhead fan in the Master Bedroom rattles, even at low speed. It wasn't enough to keep me awake but it should be quiet.

Beautiful Farm Setting
Oh my. I don’t know where to begin. The process from start to finish was effortless. The farm setting was just beautiful and peaceful. The house was spotless and comfortable. We brought our dog and she was so interested in the horses and many places to walk on the farm. I’d really like to visit again.

We stayed at the milkers cottage on the last night of our weeklong country road trip. It’s fantastic! Concerns in past reviews about beds and cleanliness were not present on our trip - beds were comfy and the place was clean! The setting is incredible - we loved walking the property and petting he horses, and having them graze around us as we enjoyed the fire pit and night stars. Want to come back and use this as a base for a wine country trip. Thank you!!

This is a great little place on a working farm. Being able to sit on the porch and watch the cows with their calves, and horse with her foal in the field next to us was wonderful. The house had everything we needed and was perfect for 4 adults and two small dogs. The host provides a lot of info in the listing, so everything was as expected. The only issue was I couldn't find any info for contacting the host while we were there - might have just been me missing it though. Some info about the farm and facilities there left in the house would have been useful but these are very small things and we would definitely revisit, and stay for longer!
