The Cottage at Still Pond Farm - Horse Farm Stay near the Blue Ridge Mountains

Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is close to Charlottesville, UVA, the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Monticello, and Virginia's wine country. Our farm offers beautiful mountain vistas in a rural and peaceful setting.

The famous landscape architects Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden designed Still Pond, creating a farm that harmonizes with nature. The sunrises and sunsets are breath-taking, as are the rainy and foggy days. Wildlife can be seen and heard at every angle, and the mountain views are always changing. Ideal for wildlife viewing, pastoral viewing, bird watching and stargazing. Our moon and star views are incredible.

Our cozy two-story cottage with loft and a wrap-a-round porch is comfortably decorated for a relaxing getaway. Set near our horse stables, the cottage provides access to easy parking with views of our barn, paddocks, natural pond and 60 ft round pen. Privacy woods are set behind the cottage.

Come experience the beauty and tranquility of life in the country. All guests will be treated like family!


POST-COVID19 CHANGES:
The safety and well-being of our farm staff, animals and guests is our top priority, and please rest assured that our cottage is thoroughly scrubbed, cleaned and sanitized for each guest. In addition, we have implemented a mandatory 1-day between rentals.

We take great pride in providing guests with a comfortable home away from home where they can relax, play outside, and enjoy the freedom and beauty of the countryside.

Family get together
We had a great time at Still Pond. The cabin is accurately described in the post and really has everything one would need for a stay away from home. The host is very responsive, understanding, and generous in sharing this unique property nestled on a beautiful horse farm in the Virginia countryside.

Beautiful stay
This was a beautiful property with a cozy cabin. We enjoyed the friendly horses and Smokey the cat. It was quiet and relaxing and just what we needed for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of life. We’d definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys country living and beautiful, quiet spaces.

Great weekend at Still Pond Farm Cottage!
My family of four had a wonderful time at the Still Pond Farm Cottage in Stanardsville, VA. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace, the comfortable beds, and the friendly cats that greeted us every time we returned to the cabin from going out and about.

Fabulous Girls’ Trip!
We had so much fun visiting the wineries near Charlottesville. This property was a picturesque farm setting nearby and the log cabin was clean, roomy and filled with all the things we needed for our weekend. Our host responded to all of our questions timely and helped us when planning our stay. We would definitely visit again!

Tranquil Retreat
If your looking for a peaceful lovely place to stay in a rural setting but just a short drive to Charlottesville and Skyline Drive and all they have to offer, this is it. Have stayed in many VRBOs in the past and this was one of the very best. We will be back. Also should mention this is centrally located in Virginia wine country.

Stunning cottage. The photos do not do it justice. It is beautifully appointed and super clean. The property is beautiful, and having horses in the fields and a friendly barn cat walking around made it even more inviting and beautiful.

Unique Cottage Retreat
Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, nicely decorated, well appointed cottage. Horse stable and barn cats right outside our door were a welcomed treat. Perfect for a weekend getaway, just bummed the falls colors weren't quite on full display. Owners were helpful and attentive.

A lovely autumn weekend
My college friends and I had an incredible time exploring Charlottesville from the cottage at Still Pond. The home itself is beautiful and welcoming, and Smokie the cat was a real highlight. We loved the wraparound porch and beautiful scenery. Joanna was swift and communicative, and even brought us a new Keurig machine the day ours broke. I can’t recommend enough! Thank you, Joanna!

Charming in the Country
Four long time friends met for a wine country visit in this charming home in the horse country. Our hosts were wonderful and the cabin was just lovely. The horses on the property, the privacy and beautiful setting was great. We visited many local wineries and toured Charlottlesville and UVA. Sitting on the porch sipping wine, walking the grounds and seeing the horses made for a relaxing and enjoyable time.

Beautiful location
All was good with my stay but we had a few minor issues / suggestions. The upstairs shower did not have hot water. I would call it lujr warm. All the other shorts and sinks had plenty of hot water. One suggestion to the owner would be to have window treatments on the front main window. In the late afternoon the reflection off of the roof across the parking area creates a pretty bad glare.

Wonderful property
We decided to visit Charlottesville after other plans got cancelled. In a quick decision we chose this place as we did not want to stay in a hotel in the heart of Charlottesville. Prior to our arrival, Joanna (owner) contacted me about issues with the wifi. She took care of it asap and let us use her hot spot so that we had our wifi, which was so nice since my son had to address some work issues. Otherwise, no wifi would have been fine with us! As you turn off the road and drive on a long gravel road, you are surrounded by pastures with beautiful horses on either side. Near the cottage are the stables. Upon entering the cottage, we were greeted by the sweetest cat named Smokey. The aroma of a wood cabin and the quaint ambiance of the living area was delightful. The beds are comfy and the cottage was clean and inviting. The true highlight for our trip was visiting the horses every night. This cottage is very private. We never saw Joanna though know that if we needed anything she was immediately responsive. The only person we met was the barn manager Bailey. She told us about the horses and it was a pleasure meeting her. This is a working farm, so respect for the animals and following the rules set by the owners is important. The only complaint I have is that we had to head back home and leave! We all miss seeing those magnificent horses.

Wonderful stay at Still Pond Farm
Great place for a family getaway … beautiful farm setting, mountain views, and plenty of wildlife in the area - we saw wild turkeys walking 20 feet from the dining room windows, and many deer on the morning walks. Charming cottage, plenty of room for our party of six. Clean and well equipped with modern appliances and air conditioning. The best part was the friendly cat that will greet you every morning on the front deck! Great location to visit the area wineries, tour Skyline Drive, or hike the mountain trails that are nearby.
