The stay was wonderful! The house was extremely comfortable and they had even decorated for Christmas for us. They were very communicative and even provided several things for the baby so we didn’t have to bring a high chair, etc. We would absolutely recommend and plan to visit again!
By far, this was our BEST vacation rental experience. The property was beautiful, the accommodations were above and beyond, and it was a fantastic experience. We will definitely return! Thank you to our hosts!
Great old farmhouse with modern amenities. Kitchen is updated, but farmhouse retains many of its older, historical architectural features Clean house, well maintained property, and comfortable bedrooms.
This house was so cute and the property/atmosphere was perfect. We all loved it the children could run around with the dogs and the house was super cozy. Will definitely be staying here again when we are in the area
We had our wedding here and it turned out beautifully! James was great to work with and was quick in his responses and helped everything go smoothly. The beds are super comfy too! We will definitely go back in n the future!
Enjoyed our stay. The sunrises and sunsets were great. House was fun. Don’t miss visiting the dairy farm across the street. Lovely. Perfect place for a relaxing time.
Perfect Retreat for our Family of 8!We stayed at Bud's Place over New Year's as a chance for our family to get away and enjoy each other's company after the busy Christmas season and before school started back up. The farmhouse was perfect - all the modern amenities we needed (great, well-stocked kitchen & bathrooms), comfy beds (3 queens & 1 twin-over-full bunk), and enough living space to relax in. We were worried the farmhouse might be drafty, but it was 17 degrees and blustery out, and we were snug & warm. The gas fireplace was a nice touch too! Definitely plan to visit the Razzbourne Farms & the Goatique right down the hill (owner Emily is great to talk with!), the 24/7 walk-in cheese & ice cream shop across the road at Mountain View Farm, and the Ridge Valley Alpaca farm about a mile away on Sterret Rd (owner Janice and John were fantastic!). This is a perfect farmhouse if you're looking for a chance to relax and unwind! Would 100% stay again!
We had an amazing stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse! The perfect blend of history and modern comforts made it a truly special experience. The views were breathtaking, and we loved seeing the cows—it added such a charming touch. This home was the ideal retreat for our family. Everything was thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found this place and hope to return someday!
Our family had the best time celebrating my mom’s 70th birthday! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Cozy and beautiful scenery all around. We would definitely stay again!
This farmhouse was just awesome, has great character ad very warm atmosphere. We loved staying there, so relaxing and perfect location for a family get together. thanks so much!!
We have stayed in several nice Vrbo's in the Staunton area. This accommodation was exceptional and we hope to stay here again next summer. The location was exceptional and provided easy access to the interstate and also local attractions. Finally, we found the kitchen very functional and the house offered several places to rest and relax.
Wonderful place to gather for a family event. Very clean. Easy to get to. Guidebook very helpful. Roomy and comfortable. Nothing was overlooked for a fantastic experience!
We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want a hotel atmosphere. This home was so much more than we expected. Very comfortable and accommodating. We really appreciated the history of this homestead.
The property is beautiful. It was the perfect amount of simplicity for our family. Our family of 8 was comfortable and loved everything about this house. We wanted for nothing. It was fully stocked with everything you needed. The owner was so welcoming it felt like home as soon as we walked in. We will be back!
The house is so well furnished and comfortable. So much space and the views are so serene. Took a 2 mile country road walk yesterday to enjoy the area. Farm across the street sells Mountain View cheese in their little farmstand. Wonderful owner and easy communication!
Bud’s place was the perfect house for our weekend family get away to the mountains. It had a lot of room and the accommodations were excellent. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and sunset from the front porch and the kids enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. The house was very clean and we did not lack for anything in terms of towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. There was a welcome basket with wine and cheese and crackers and clear instructions for our stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

What a gracious host!!! They left a welcome basket for us and the property is absolutely amazing!! The neighbor farmer Emily is very kind and Even though you can’t pet the goats, you can buy fresh goat cheese from her right next-door!!! Great friendly people all over the area!! This house is completely redone and it just feels like a home away from home! Such a great place!
We came to the area for the Chessie Trail Marathon, then decided we’d have to come back again just to stay in this beautiful home. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The notebook left for visitors was concise and well planned. The location was peaceful and the wide-open night sky was thrilling for those of us not used to dark skies. (Although we did not see the playground that was mentioned, our 5 and 11 year old kids loved the home and wanted to stay longer). It was a great place for all three generations of our family to stay.
Bud’s Place was the perfect home for our Grands wedding weekend adventure. The beautiful mountains, the cattle close by, the tremendous views were all quiet gifts for our souls! The home was beautifully appointed: the antique furniture a must see; the updated bathrooms,spacious kitchen: it was wonderful. We did not have a pack and play as listed when we arrived late at night. The host, however, was on it and went above and beyond making it right. We even used the antique high chair for our little 7 month old.It’s a lovely place for respite and relaxation. Lexington a short distance away was a treasure to explore even in the pouring rain.I wholeheartedly recommend Buds Place. It’s charming and homey in an updated modernized farm house. We will be back.
Our stay could not have been better. We were welcomed with a hospitality basket on the kitchen table and clean, comfortable and and well stocked accommodations. We have such an appreciation for family history and loved the fact that this still felt like a family home. The front deck was the perfect place to enjoy the evening air and beautiful sunsets! The beds were very comfortable and we all left rested and relaxed! There is plenty of space for the family to enjoy being together or to spread out. We will definitely recommend Bud’s Place to our friends.
A great property! We came to attend a graduation at Washington and Lee. This property was far better to enjoy all events and celebrate with family. The house had everything we needed and we had room to spread out and be comfortable. Everything was clean and extra touches from the toiletries to welcome basket were super thoughtful and appreciated. We were worried we might be far out but we were close to University and shopping and had a fabulous week.
