*Welcome to the one-of-a-kind Rusmar Farm in Powhatan, VA!*

Immerse yourself in the beauty of country living where horses gracefully roam scenic fields, embodying the soul of our rustic haven. Our charming 150-year-old farmhouse is a perfect blend of equestrian elegance and rural serenity, offering stunning views of sun-kissed pastures and wooded areas adorned with majestic equines.

The Farmhouse
This unique one-story antique farmhouse, rich in history, features three bedrooms, each bathed in natural light and offering serene views of the horses. The master bedroom boasts a cozy full bed with direct access to the full bathroom. The second bedroom houses a queen bed, while the third includes a twin bed. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans for added comfort, and all linens and towels are provided.

For your comfort, the home is heated by a propane fireplace in the family room and a propane stove in the sunroom, with additional electric radiator heaters in the bedrooms and portable space heaters available when needed. In summer, window units help keep the house cool. You'll also have access to reliable cell service and upgraded hotspot Wi-Fi, ensuring you can work remotely without issue during your stay.

Outdoor Spaces & Amenities
Step outside to enjoy the beauty of farm life. Relax by the propane fire pit, grill up a meal on the propane BBQ, or enjoy a meal at the portable picnic table on the front porch. There are also friendly outdoor barn cats that roam the property, adding to the farm's charm. For entertainment, the TV is connected to an antenna, providing access to over 30 local channels, and there’s a DVD player with a generous selection of DVDs. While there are no streaming services, you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained during your stay.

A Farm Experience Like No Other
As this is a working farm, you may see the owners tending to the horses or other farm tasks during the early mornings and late afternoons. They live in a separate home on the property, respecting your privacy while also being available for a warm hello or assistance. Guests are invited to explore the property through guided tours, including trails and ATV rides (small donations appreciated). Riding lessons are also available for an additional fee of $50 (waiver required). You can also visit the adjacent antique shop to hunt for vintage gems.

Relax & Unwind
For some unplugged fun, the family room is stocked with board games and DVDs. Or, head outside for a game of cornhole. In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to prepare meals, including a gas stove, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, crock-pot, and more. The dining area features a charming drop-leaf table. The full bathroom includes a sink, toilet, and tub/shower combo, but for a truly unique experience, guests are welcome to try the 2-seater Johnny outhouse!

Extras for a Comfortable Stay
For convenience, the farmhouse is equipped with an all-in-one washer-dryer for guest use. Start your mornings with coffee in the window seat located in the living room or enjoy your time on the patio, soaking in the peace and beauty of farm life.
