Farmhouse getaway for family vacations and friend retreats - heated pool, amazing views, close to wineries/breweries

Elmwood Acres is a renovated farmhouse with a heated pool situated among 100+ acres of cattle pastures and orchards. 4 BR / 3 BA in the farmhouse plus 1 BR and a half bath in the fully-conditioned barn. Enjoy a heated pool with brand-new large stone patio, incredible wide-open mountain views, stunning sunsets, and 15 nearby wineries/breweries/orchards.

Property has heated pool, large patio, "man cave", playhouse, game room. Great for family reunions, week-long vacations, and special occasions.

*** SPECIAL: 4 free Wintergreen lift tickets with a three night stay in January or February 2025!! Valid on Bookings after November 24 2024, while supplies last!! ***

THE PROPERTY: When you pull up the driveway and look to your right you will overlook the pasture and see some of the best mountain views in all of Virginia. The view can be enjoyed from the pool, patio, barn deck, fire pit, and swing.

The entire perimeter of the house has screen porches or patios for long conversations, coffee, meals, and drinks among family and friends.

Behind the house there is a large, deep (6 ft) saltwater pool with a waterfall and brand new, large natural stone patio with seating for the whole group. Adults and kids will love it three seasons per year (April - October), as the pool can be heated for an additional fee based on the number of days/time of year (just ask for details!).

The kids will get lost with amazement in the detached barns/structures: the main barn with a bedroom and half bath, a small kids playhouse, and a big kids (adult) game room/man cave.

There is a walking trail around the property, abundant landscaping, and a fire pit with six adirondack chairs which always prompt long talks under the clear, starry nighttime skies.

THE HOUSE: In the house you will find the charm of an 1890's farmhouse.

Large kitchen with a 8 person dining table and separate 4 person breakfast nook overlooking the garden. There is also a 6 person outdoor dining table and chairs on the brick patio off the kitchen. Top notch Samsung appliances and plenty of counter space for cooking. Efficient washer/dryer adjacent to the kitchen to accommodate your big group!

The family room is relatively small but cozy with a high-end Jotul woodstove that will warm up the whole house on fall and winter nights. Still plenty of room for TV and snuggles, but you will most likely want to spend your time around the pool, on the screen porches to the side and front of the house, or the back patio.

Four bedrooms in the main house (3 upstairs, 1 downstairs), all good sizes and well appointed. Master bedroom is upstairs with a king bed and two chairs overlooking the pool/gardens. One bedroom upstairs is clearly setup for kids (2 bunks plus a twin). The third bedroom upstairs has a queen size bed and TV. The downstairs bedroom has a king size bed and TV.

There is an additional bedroom with a king size bed in the barn. The barn bedroom also has a pellet stove, wall AC/heat unit, refrigerator, coffee maker, and a composting toilet. The Barn is about 100 yards from the house. The barn also has a wrap around deck with views that will make you melt at sunset.

This property is perfect for family reunions, week-long family vacations, and memorable occasions.

Access to the property is secured by a gate. House is accessed through a key pad lock. Both codes will be provided by email/text before check-in!

You are smack dab in the middle of hundreds of acres of orchards (open for Strawberry and Blueberry picking in the Spring/Early Summer) and pastures (plenty of cows in site!). There are another 7 orchards within a 15 minute drive.

At least 8 wineries/breweries within 15 minutes (Blue Mountain Barrell House, Lovingston Winery, Devils Backbone Brewery, Outback Brew House, Blue Toad Hard Cidery, Rebec Vineyards, Lazy Day Winery).

Lots of hiking nearby too: Appalachian Trail, Crabtree Falls, Fortunes Cove, Blue Ridge Railroad Trail, etc.

We can refer a private driver if you prefer for day trips to the numerous nearby wineries and breweries...Just ask!

Pool is available for all guests and can be heated three seasons per year for additional fee that depends on the time of year (outdoor temperature) and number of nights. We do not seek to make any money on heating the pool, just to cover the costs of propane which heats it. If you are interested in having the pool heated, just ask!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Absolutely wonderful
I, my wife, and 2 grandchildren had an absolutely grand time at the farmhouse. Older home that has been renovated to today's needs and wants was situated on a higher point offering great viewes day and night of the Blue Ridge mountains (could see muliple ridges). Pool was both relaxing and had plenty of floats, football and other items to keep us entertain. Speaking of entertainment the arcade in a rustic barn setting was so cool. Can't say enough about the property. For family or a group of friends this property would be a great place to unwind and enjot all the mountains of VA have to offer.

Great place and exceptionally responsive owners
Our original vacation rental cancelled the day of check-in and this booking was a quick attempt to salvage our vacation…and did it ever! We had a great stay despite a loss of power (so thankful the owners have a generator and were extremely responsive to reporting the outage for us). The pool was fun, house had plenty of space, and the host had all the essentials plus some. Our plan B turned out to be just the plan we needed.

Family Getaway
Our large family (15 people) gathered to celebrate a 70th Birthday! The house had plenty space so no one felt on top of each other. The kitchen had more than enough room to prepare meals. Both kids and adults enjoyed the pool area for countless hours each day. The fire pit area was perfect spot for an out door movie with smores (we brought a projector and screen). The pictures in the listing were 100% accurate and the communication with the host was very easy. We can’t wait to rent this house again!!

A unique & unforgettable mountain farmhouse experience
My husband, 6 month old, our dog and friends stayed for a week at this incredible property. The mountain views from the house, pool, barn, etc are better than anywhere we visited in the area and we didn't want to leave most days. We even had a local photographer come take family pictures! The pool, fire pit, making meals, and having a private chef (TJ, ask the owner for his info) come in to cook for us – each day was relaxing, cozy, and fun. The house is close to many things to do – 15 mins or less to wineries, breweries, cideries, grocery store, and antiques, but it feels incredibly private. The landscaping is beautiful too – the koi pond and all the different plants around the property were so pretty. The beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, the washer and dryer came in handy, and the pool was such a treat. By day two of our trip we were already talking about how and when we could come back. The host is very responsive – we needed more firewood and the pool vacuum stopped working and the host was very quick to bring in more wood and come resolve the issue with the pool. We paid the fee to have the pool heated and it was well worth it – I do not like cold water at ALL and it was the perfect temperature. We got to swim with our baby in the pool each day and that was super special. Overall we made so many memories and can't wait to go back!

Beautiful views at a quaint house
We stayed in the middle of winter but still found the house/property enjoyable even though it was cold outside. The house is very spacious with large bedrooms and kitchen area. There are several spaces dedicated for children too (we were all adults). The hosts went above and beyond and left a s'mores basket on the counter, which was fabulous! We brought food to cook for the meals but completely forgot about s'more supplies for the bonfire. The mountain view was great and we witnessed two beautiful sunsets. We are thinking we need to go back again when the pool is open. :-)

Farmhouse Weekend Getaway
Our stay at the farmhouse was amazing!!! The house was beautiful, nicely decorated and spotless!! We loved cooking in the big country kitchen and sitting by the wood stove in the evenings after a busy day outside. The bedrooms were nice in size and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for the 12 of us. We had everything we needed. The property was very private, only hearing an occasional moo in the distance from the surrounding farm. Stargazing was amazing while sitting outside by the large fire pit enjoying a glass of wine and making s’mores. The sunsets, mountain and pastoral views were breathtaking!!! Thank you so much Krystal and Kyle for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We will be back!!

perfect winter get-a-way (or any time of year)
Home was beautiful and exactly as described. Property is gorgeous and views of mountains and evening sunsets were heart-stopping. Extra bedroom in barn was very nice and heater worked well. (The debate has already started with who will get to use it next time... note: 1/2 bath only, no shower in barn though - so need to use house). Owners very responsive.

We had a wonderful time at this property. 3 generations with small children. The kids loved the frog pond, the fish pond, and we all loved the heated swimming pool.

Gorgeous views just as stated in the listing. Property was perfect for our group looking for a quiet getaway -very secluded, peaceful and relaxing. We loved trying to find the shooting stars at night around the fire pit. House was clean, nicely decorated, and well stocked with everything we needed for the week. Owner was very quick to respond with any questions we had and helpful if we had issues. Our only small suggestion would be to update the pots and pans in the kitchen. We would definitely go back!

I booked this property for my husband's 30th birthday with some friends. To say that this property is immaculate and wonderful is an understatement. The views of the mountain are unbearable, the house is stunning, and the grounds are impeccably maintained. We had a blast in the pool all day and having fires at night. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to stay again in the future so we can explore more! I cannot recommend this property enough!

I truly can’t say enough about Elmwood Acres. I booked this stunning farmhouse for a surprise engagement weekend. The property, views, barns and farmhouse itself were more than I could have imagined. It was so spacious, beautifully renovated with still the most rustic appeal. None of us wanted to leave. Krystal and Kyle were so sweet, genuine and helpful. We hope to make Elmwood Acres a yearly reunion for our group. Just a magical place.

This Mountain Farmhouse was amazing! The views were spectacular and the entire property was serene. The main house was perfect for our family and friends and the kids loved the play house and barn. You get the sense of being off the grid while at the same time being close to Wintergreen, wineries and breweries, and great hikes like Crabtree Falls. Krystal and Kyle made this experience very seamless and were quick to respond to all of our questions. I would recommend this for families and groups of friends looking for a mountain retreat. We will definitely be back.

Our stay was absolutely fabulous! Our entire group was blown away at how stunning the views are and how well appointed the property is. There is so much to do and I wish we had had more time to enjoy it all! We stayed in January, so we didn't utilize the pool, but it looks amazing and there is an adorable trail of lights leading down to the koi pond that lights up at night. The area has tons of wineries and breweries to explore as well as great hiking trails. The master bedroom has a beautiful view when you wake up and the soaking tub is a dream! The barn bedroom is great if you want a unique experience and some privacy from the main house. We could not have been happier and would absolutely come back. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating and the place was very clean. Overall a 10/10!
