Imagine morning coffee on your secluded front porch, not even bothering reading the morning news. Why? Because when you are at the Farmhouse you connect with something you forgot about: tranquility. The Farmhouse is a property where the charm of cozy spaces and warm wooden floors reminds you of a time when life was more simple. A creak in the floor brings to mind how many footfalls have gone before you in this space, and you connect with all the life that the four walls have enveloped. Many guests comment on the 'core memories' they take home with them after a stay at the Farmhouse. Plan today to make the memories you'll take with you into the tomorrows in your life. For guests who love to make memories around the table, the fully equipped kitchen has a KitchenAid, blender, full set of pots/pans, utensils, microplaner, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spices. Lots of extra cups and plates, so no need to wash up between courses! Outside there are picnic tables for al fresco dining (and table linens if you want to dress them up a bit!), and a set of melamine dinnerware for summer meals under the open sky. The master bedroom upstairs has a queen bed, and lovely light coming from two sides (and in winter views down to the River,) as well as a special, traditional 'sleeping porch', which we updated to be an all season room to enhance the master suite with a couch and TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed and small sitting area with a couch. This room enjoys a view over the rolling fields. The third bedroom has two, German made wooden twin beds, and a small reading nook. There is a renovated, shared, full bathroom upstairs. The second full bathroom is on the first floor, and a third full bathroom is in the recreation room (in another building). The recreation room is a short walk from the house, and has a large screen TV, ping pong, air hockey, a bar, extra refrigerator. The 7-person hot tub is adjacent to the recreation area. Back at the house, there is also a gas firepit with chairs to relax (and stargaze!) Finally, a full description of the Farmhouse experience isn't complete without mentioning the joy of swinging in the hammock under the shade of two very old trees, and feeling the carefree nostalgia of childhood again. If all of that isn't enticing enough, the Farmhouse has its own private Riverside glade, a short walk from the house. There you have a dock and 4 kayaks available for guest's exclusive use. The glade is surrounded by large, mature trees, providing shade even on the sunniest days. Don't forget to bring your furry friends, who would give the Farmhouse a 10/10 rating if they could! ($25/per night, per pet fee applies). They love the freedom to run freely, romp in the river, and laze in the sunshine after a hard dog days work. Pet fees paid directly to management on arrival.
Still undecided? Here's some trivia to pique your curiosity:
-Just one hour from Dulles Airport and the Washington Capitol Beltway (believe it or not there are only four traffic lights between the farm and the Capitol Hill).
-Starbucks, restaurants and shopping (Aldi/Walmart/Target) only ten minutes away.
-100 holes of Golf are within a four mile radius.
-Historic Downtown Front Royal with its shops, restaurants and antiques is fifteen minutes from the farm.

To quote a recent visitor from Maryland: 'I can't tell you what a blast we had. We felt like we were in a movie. The house could not have been more perfect, it was warm and cozy and allowed us to spend quality family time together. My family loves history and this farm house and property is loaded with just that. We loved the way you have restored it allowing the history to show through yet updating it at the same time.'
-All Season enjoyment--Surrounded by over one hundred acres of rolling fields and woods with a river on three sides you can soak up the quiet and seclusion any season of the year.
-Front Royal has several major national parks and attractions; Skyline Drive, Shenandoah River with local outfitters, Skyline Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail...
