Peaceful
This farmhouse was a great place for our family to stay and relax while visiting other local family over the holidays. We had a party of 6 and there was plenty of space to both do things together, and have our own space at times. Feeding the horses was a highlight!

Family weekend
Lisa was a wonderful hostess and we really enjoyed her beautiful farmhouse. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to enjoy our weekend. The property was close to town but a taste of country with horses welcoming us in and out of the property. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for hosting a large family breakfast. We will definitely stay here again.

Had the feeling of being at home. Although the house was close to town, you felt you were by yourself with not a lot of noises and interruptions.

Extended Family of 5 for Hokie Graduation
Originally we were going to have my wife and I plus our three teenaged kids and my parents stay while we celebrated a son’s graduation from Virginia Tech, but ended up with only one teen kid coming.
Space and amenities were fantastic for our extended family and we enjoyed the grounds with the horses as well.
Since our trip was focused around Blacksburg, an hour drive away, we didn’t spend a lot of time in Hillsville. The Farmhouse is a perfect place to stay and explore the local area as well.
Communication with the Host was smooth and she made sure we had everything we needed, responding to our request to add one night very quickly.

Comfortable and Convenient
Lots of room. And lots of rooms! Essentially there are two dining rooms and two living rooms. Super location feels out in the country but is very close to town. House is 100 years old so the floor isn't perfectly flat and the upstairs doesn't have high ceilings, but it is comfortable! Lots of space for games and two TV's should keep everyone entertained.

Wonderful home and wonderful experience!
My family and I just spent a wonderful weekend at the farm house. The pictures do not do the house justice. It is much larger than it appears in the photographs. There Are three bedrooms upstairs with a full bath and a master bedroom downstairs with a full bath. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The stables are next door and the paddocks back up to the house. It is so wonderful to wake up to horses basically in your back yard! They are so friendly and soothing to be around. We were not expecting the experience we had at the farm. We spent time with Lisa at the barn and a lot of time petting,feeding, and just watching the horses. It was a great experience. We hope to return soon.

Wonderful charming home
Firstly the house is so much larger on the inside than it appears. An historic charming house. Very clean, perfect for my family. And the beautiful horses were such a treat for my daughter and wife. Such a bucolic setting. We will be back.

Great stay!
Wonderful country property. Tons of seating room, games, owner is an absolute sweetheart. Bring your own pillows if you are pillow-picky. Well stocked kitchen and house has so much history and such a wonderful groove/feel.

Lovely farmhouse for our family gathering
The home was just the perfect place for spending time with our daughter and granddaughter, as well as meeting up with family that live in the area. The bedrooms were comfortable and there is more than enough room to just sit and relax. The views from every window are beautiful and the horses were a huge hit with our granddaughter. The location is close to the grocery store and downtown yet you feel like you’re in the quiet countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to relax or to gather with family and friends. We look forward to visiting again.

Clean farmhouse in quiet area
We really enjoyed our stay at your farmhouse. Quiet beautiful area on a horse farm. The banana bread you left for us was delicious! We visited Andy Griffith’s hometown at Mt. Airy which was about 30 miles away as well as driving around surrounding areas to see beautiful mountain scenery. If we come back to this area we will definitely plan to stay at your farmhouse!

Historic Farmhouse - Beautiful Setting
Charming, historic and quirky farmhouse. Every room tells a story and hosts stunning views of rural Virginia countryside, rolling pastures, and grazing horses. Location is very close to grocery stores, drug store, and restaurants, yet it feels secluded and peaceful- complete with stars at night. It was an ideal place to gather family away from the tension of professional timetables and demands.

Absolutely Wonderful
This property is exactly as described! Breathtaking views of beautiful horses all day! The property was beautiful, home was perfect for our group of 8. We enjoyed watching the horses frolic through the property throughout the day and the changing of the leaves was beautiful as well. The history in the home was interesting to read and the owner was very friendly and inviting. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation.
