Get your camping on and roast marshmallows in the fire pit. We'll provide the wood. Grab a yoga mat, or take a nap in the hammock. The space is ideal for communing with nature so you can escape and relax.

*It is important to note that none of the windows have curtains. There are no visible neighbors to the front or the back. There is a privacy fence along the road so the 1st floor windows are not visible from the road.
*“The back of the house is made up almost entirely of sliding doors in anticipation of decking that has yet to be installed. All doors are locked, and we have installed bars in the tracks for additional safety. The doors will only open if you intentionally remove the track bar and unlock the door. ”

Other details to note-
Rural Area - We are located in a rural area off a gravel road. It is extremely dark at night, but this allows for amazing star gazing! There are only a handful of people that live on our end of the road.
Property Boundary - 200 acres of wooded land sits behind our property and a farm field sits across the street. This land is owned by others. Please respect this and stay within our 12 acre property boundary. *Please respect the rights of other landowners that border the property by not trespassing. The property is not fully fenced, so please keep fur-buddies within the 12 acre property boundary.
Hunting - People hunt and shoot in this area (but not on our property). You may hear the occasional gun go off.
Wildife & Bugs - This is the country so wildlife and bugs are in abundance.
There are many deer, fox, wild rabbits, wild turkeys and opossum that occasionally show themselves. These are gentle creatures. We ask that you be respectful of the wildlife. There might be the occasional black bear. Black bears do not want to see you or interact with you any more than you want to see or interact with them. We have only seen a bear twice in 10 years.
Noise - Note there is a working farm across the street so there are large farm vehicles traveling the road at times.
Phone Service - The cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier, so we rely on the internet provided by Comcast for phone service.
Shopping - We are between the towns of Culpeper and Warrenton. Each offer plenty of shopping for supplies. Be aware that to get to the nearest shopping/gas station it will be approx 12 to 22 minutes drive each way.
We are available throughout your stay. Simply message us through if you need something during your stay.
Thanks!
