Luxury Country Cottage with Spectacular Blue Ridge Mountain Views!

Carrie's Cottage: A luxurious and charming country cottage, privately situated just past our pond on Fairhill Farm, a working farm of 142 acres, and surrounded by other large farms including our own 130 acre High fields Farm. Beautifully appointed with comfort in mind, Carrie's Cottage is a retreat for those wishing to escape life's stresses for a weekend, a week or longer!

2 hours from Washington, DC, 90 minutes from Richmond,VA
25 minutes from Charlottesville, VA

Spring has sprung at Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals and, yes, we are open for business. We have received a number of inquiries from folks that want to escape to the rural country side for fresh air, open space and stunning mountain views. Our two farms comprise nearly 300 acres fronting on the South River with private hiking trails, springs to explore and miniature horses to enjoy. Our three vacation rentals with fully equipped kitchens are at least 1/10 mile apart with a population density of about one person per 50 acres. Now that’s social distancing! We also use CDC procedures to clean, disinfect and prepare our vacation rentals for each guest’s arrival. The cottages are also self-check-in and our staff stringently practice social distancing with each other and with our guests. Our local grocery as well as drug stores are open and our restaurants are providing curbside pick-up and/or limiting dine-in to ten people. The Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail and Skyline Drive are less than a 15-minute drive from our farms and the entrance fees have been waived. Finally, please know that our prices are at our normal rate. We find it morally and ethically reprehensible that some popular vacation spots at the beach or in the mountains have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled their rates. We will be happy to host you but regardless please be safe and follow all recommended guidelines as the nation works its way through the threat of this virus.

Sit on the porch or in front of the fireplace and feel your stress slip away!

Incredible mountain views
My sister and I visited over a long weekend during Parent’s Weekend at nearby Blue Ridge School. From start to finish, the weekend was fantastic. I was worried that check-in would be tricky because we arrived late, but they literally “left a light on for us” and made it simple. We entered the cottage to relaxing background music that was so nice we left it on all weekend. The cottage was clean and well cared for, and the farm itself was simply amazing. We enjoyed entertaining L’Etoile, the friendly kitty, feeding the horses and donkeys, and soaking in incredible mountain views. The Ambassador’s brother, John was a special treat— he escorted us to spots on the property where we witnessed spectacular views. He even coached us on taking memorable photos, and gave us a bit of history about the farm and its owner. We have vowed to return and recreate the magic of this weekend. Until next time, Carrie’s Cottage!

If you want to get away, this is a great place. But be advised, there’s nothing within about 15 minutes. So get food and supplies on your way in. You’re about 45 minutes from downtown Charlottesville.

Absolutely delightful. A charming cottage with everything you need for comfort. Great host. Gorgeous farm property with co-host cat, miniature horses, and miniature donkeys. Great hiking trail right on the property. A lovely pond. Quiet and secluded. Close to Shenandoah National Park and charming Stanardsville. A real find.

Lovely cottage
We really love the property — so peaceful and close to the Skyline Drive. Its a close drive to downtown where you can enjoy Maybelles for breakfast and coffee. Alton and his family are all wonderful people and are very quick to respond if you need anything. Been going for years and will continue to stay at this cottage!

The peace and quiet was exactly what I needed. The treehouse and pool were exactly what my grandchildren needed. And the animals were what we all needed. Perfection! Alton and his staff were wonderful in every way. I'll definitely bring my family again and will highly recommend Carrie's Cottage to friends.

A real getaway
If you're looking for a place that is off the beaten path, you will find it here! Lots of peace and quiet in this cozy guest house. Beautiful property and easy access to Shenandoah National Park. You may hear nothing but birds singing while you're enjoying your morning coffee or evening beverage on the front porch. Or you can sit at the pond or enjoy hiking trails on the property. You may even be lucky enough to see a family of bears crossing the road while you're hiking -- like we did!

Great stay!
Carrie's Cottage is at the back of a peaceful property. We drove up past pastures of cows and their calves and miniature horses and burros to our nice little spot overlooking the horse field. The house was ready for us on time, check in was easy (despite my mistake!), and the house was clean and welcoming, with music playing in the background when we entered. Beds were great, house has been updated so it's super usable. We were very comfortable as two adults, but it seems like it would easily fit a family of four. The house may be in a quiet area removed from the hustle and bustle, but it's very close to the very nice downtown of Standardsville (which provides a few amenities like a nice coffee shop) and not far from Ruckersville, which is fairly sizable with lots of food options. We were there to visit Skyline Drive and the house is very close to an entrance with lots of great hiking and overlooks nearby. Highly recommended if you're coming to the area to visit Shenandoah National Park!

Sunrise Cadence on the Farm
The cottage was comfy and cozy, and had everything I needed. Perfect for the solo traveler, as well as a couple or small family. Great base camp to explore the area (Monticello, Carter Mountain Orchards, Skyline Drive, plus hiking, and back road antiques and general stores). My favorite was sitting on the porch with my tea waiting for the sunrise over the hill and enjoying the cadence of frogs, crickets, birds, the "girls" ( mini horses), and cows. No traffic. No people. Just what I needed and wanted. Also enjoyed sharing my apples with the girls. I definitely hope to return for another visit. Thanks, Alton!

Lovely cottage in a movie-
staying at Carrie’s Cottage was the perfect ending for our trip to Shenandoah National Park. The cottage is very comfortable and inviting. The setting is beautiful. Couldn’t wait to wake up every morning to have coffee on the front porch and just look out over the gorgeous valley and watch spring come right before my eyes. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a deluxe bathroom, spa towels, and comfy beds. The washer dryer was a real plus. Loved our time there and would have liked to have stayed much longer.. Loved Carrie’s Cottage!

Three friends spent the most lovely time at Carrie's Cottage this past weekend. The cottage was perfectly clean, so comfortable and we appreciated the extra luxurious touches like a special treat left on the kitchen island, wonderfully plush towels and very comfortable beds. We plan to return again next year - we had such a lovely time!

Wonderful Thanksgiving escape
Carrie's Cottage was perfect for our escape to the Shenandoah during our Thanksgiving break. The cottage is sunny, very cozy and comfortable, and situated on a beautiful farm in the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains. It is only a short drive to skyline drive or Charlottesville, and there are several trails on the property for short walks when you don't want to leave the farm. We highly recommend a stay.

Cute Weekend Getaway
This is a nice place for a couple (or small family) to get away to for a quiet weekend. In addition to being nicely decorated, it was very clean, and the big kitchen and relaxing sitting area with gas fireplace/stove made our December stay very cozy. The property also has miniature horses (that you can see out the window) and some nice walking trails in the surrounding woods. The owner also left us a nice Va bottle of wine, which was a very nice way to make our weekend a little more special.

The perfect getaway
This was our second stay in Carrie's Cottage and we're already planning a third. We love the views and the space is just the right size for a small family. Our 7 year old loves the tree house, the pony friends, and the gorgeous pool. We didn't hike or fish, though the property offers opportunities for that as well. It's a very special place.

Perfect retreat
The perfect place to escape to from DC. A perfect piece of paradise just a short drive from DC. We were traveling with an infant and she loved seeing all the animals and we loved the peace and fresh air. It is very easy to check in. It is 100% contactless which was so important now with covid. The house was so peaceful and clean and well stocked. We had plenty of towels, soap, and cooking supplies. One thing was I wish we had had 2 more pillows in the main bedroom but that is super minor. There is even a grill. We didn't have time this stay to try grilling but really looking forward to our next stay. And really looking forward to going back for many years to come.
