About this property

Come Experience our Regenerative Farm in our historic and renovated Manor House.

This stately, 3 bedroom and 3 baths, home rests on the lush 82 acre Whiffletree Farm. The farm and home provide a serene setting rich in history, agriculture, and natural beauty. Guests can enjoy the sense of being far from the busyness of city/suburban life, yet only 2 miles away from Old Town Warrenton, Virginia. Whiffletree Farm also allows guests the opportunity to delve into agro-tourism: gain exposure to sustainable farming, study resources (videos, books, articles) provided in home library, and purchase poultry, milk, eggs etc. from the farm store run by the farmers themselves, Jesse and Liz Straight.

History: For at least 80 years of the 20th century Whiffletree Farm was dedicated to horses and specifically, fox hunting. The Warrenton Hunt still rides the property and the hunting hounds (50-60) are kenneled next door. Celebrities like John and Jacquelin Kennedy and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor attended cocktail parties at Whiffletree as part of the social scene surrounding the 'Hunt.'

Agriculture: The farmers, Jesse and Liz Straight, raise pastured broiler chickens (and turkeys), free-foraging pork, grass-finished beef and pastured laying hens. Their farming method of using intensive rotation grazing creates a happy and healthy environment for the animals, improves the fertility of the land and provides more nutritious food for customers . Their cattle are 100% grass fed and their turkeys, broiler chickens, pigs, and laying hens are raised on fresh pasture, non-GMO feed, no antibiotics, no chemicals on the ground, and no toxic chemical washes when they are processed. All this work, precision and care, not only help keep animals, the earth and people healthier it also results in distinctively rich tasting food.

Natural beauty: There are lovely walks about the farm, near the stream or down by Great Run and bike rides along the lane. And just a stone’s throw away guests will find a variety of the many great things Virginia’s rolling hills and vibrant culture has to offer: the historic town of Warrenton (2 miles), the storied battlefields of Culpeper and Manansas (15 miles), Virginia’s great wine trails- vinards/wineries- (8 miles), the Blue Ridge Mountains and Skyline Drive (24 miles), the Town of Little Washington with it's famous Inn (17 miles), the Ashby Inn in Paris, Va.(20miles) and many more sites.

And lastly, in case hikes, bike rides and walks don’t satisfy your exercise needs, Warrenton has a large aquatic center with a competition pool, hot tub, water park with slides and workout facilities. Golf courses, a tennis club and a yoga studio are also just within a 10 minute drive. But don't overbook yourselves. The house, the farm and the grounds are special.

Please also note the house's large sunroom and outdoor yard space. We consider events for under 40 people on a case by case basis for an additional fee of $500.
There's a private patio. 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. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Wonderful stay at a wonderful place
Whiffletree Manor House is A beautifully preserved, but still updated house. Our out-of-town guests couldn’t get over how nice it was, both the overnight guests and the ones who came to a baby shower we had there. Not only is the house lovely but so are the grounds, there’s even a swing hanging from one of the trees to make it look that much more picturesque. We would definitely rent this house again for when we have people visiting.

Whiffletree wedding weekend
We spent five days at Whiffletreee Farm while attending a family wedding weekend. The farm/property is beautiful in the center of horse/farm country in Virginia. The staff at the farm were so sweet and definitely let us experience the farm…including answering all our questions, letting us hold the babies and sharing their stories. The home was large, with all baths and kitchen being updated. The home’s decor is dated, with older couches in the main living room. The home had a musty smell and too many air fresheners to try to mask the smell. And there were bugs…and yes it’s in the country and it’s expected…but when we used the stove the first day, there were too many ants to count, coming out of the area around it, bugs in window sills, wasps and larger ants in other rooms. The home needs a deep cleaning and windows need to be washed. Our overall experience was fun! Again, everyone was nice and we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful piece of property with a very interesting history. Love the zebra theme. Jessie was very personable and always eager to make your stay pleasurable. He came very quickly when we needed something. This is a children’s dream with many farm animals.

Overall, nice stay. Great house, lots of potential. Realizing it’s an old house, but first floor entry, hall and living room were musty, not good for those with allergies.

Weekend in the Rolling Virginia Hills
We stayed at The Manor House while attending wedding activities at nearby Wollam Gardens. The old homestead provided a relaxing escape from the excitement of the wedding event. The interior of the house is comfortably furnished and features a large well-appointed kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious. The grounds and the home's exterior could use some attention. The working regenerative farm setting, including the well-stocked farm store, adds to the unique experience of staying in this Fauquier County home.

This was our fourth year visiting the farm. It truly is a slice of heaven. Our kids had a blast exploring the property and visiting the chickens, pigs, and cows. Jesse and Liz were wonderful hosts (as always). The house was clean and spacious and has everything you could need. We dined out this year and loved Denim & Pearls (which serves Jesse’s chicken) and Red Truck Bakery,

We had a great time at Whiffletree! The house is beautiful and staying on a working farm is so unique. The house is well-equipped with everything you need and the hosts left us farm-fresh goodies and some staples- so thoughtful. The location is beautiful and serene but a very short drive from Warrenton for restaurants and shopping. We loved our stay!

A great stay in wine country.
This was a reuinion of 3 college buds and wives to tour wine country. The location was PERFECT. The farm store and the farm manager were entertaining. The home was perfectly appointed but could use a good cleaning!! Bathrooms were immaculate, bedrooms were great- putside and living areas needed some TLC.

This was our 2nd time at Whiffletree and we had another delightful stay. The setting was gorgeous, the house charming, and the property manager, Chase, was attentive to our needs. The owner, Jesse, even gave us some parting gifts from the farm the morning we left. All in all, a terrific place. We'll be back.

Our whole family really loved this beautiful farm home. It had a wonderful blend of the charm of the old and the convenience of the new. The bathrooms and kitchen were roomy, clean and updated. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully furnished. Lots of space to visit, play games and share a meal with our big family. We also enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings.

Weekend Getaway with another family
We took a weekend getaway from DC with another family and the house easily accommodated 4 adults and 2 kids. The house was clean and as pictured, and very comfortable. We enjoyed making meals in the kitchen, using the grill, an evening by the firepit, and the hot tub. We explored Warrenton and Marshall nearby - including the Saturday farmer's market in Warrenton, Red Truck bakery in Marshall, and nearby breweries & wineries. Thanks for a great stay! Those of us with Verizon cell service still had coverage at the house, but AT&T subscribers did not.
