About this space
The Cottage at Roaring Run Farm is a relaxing two bedroom retreat nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The farm sits on 153 acres of rolling pastures between neighboring cattle farms that make up a 1,000 acres of contiguous farmland. The cottage features beautiful views of the Peaks of Otter Mountains among fields of grazing horses and donkeys. Sunrise and sunset are truly magical hours on Roaring Run Farm.
The space
The cottage sits off of a country road and down a long driveway lined with horse pastures and is located next to the main farmhouse. The driveway continues past the farmhouse and down to the horse barn complete with chicken coup and a retired milking barn remaining from when the farm was a working dairy farm.
The long and open gravel driveway is popular for evening strolls and taking in the scenes of nature. We frequently see turkeys, deer, bunnies and even a small bear crossing the driveway. Birdhouses that burst with life in the spring line the driveway, the indigo bunting is a farm favorite and a treat for even the most experienced birdwatcher. Additionally you will also see equestrians taking their horses out for trail rides during the day.
