About this property

The Guest House at Willow Springs Farm -- central Shenandoah Valley location

Our turn of the century Shenandoah Valley farmhouse is convenient for travelers (fifteen minutes from I-81, exit 235) and centrally located for vacationers (20 minutes to Harrisonburg, Staunton, Natural Chimneys; 30 minutes to Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest; less than an hour to Lexington, Charlottesville, Highland County).

Sitting nearly ½ mile off the county road, quiet and solitude with some country noises should be expected at Willow Springs. Cozy up in many spots indoors and out with a good book, drawing pad, or whatever suits your fancy. Get out, walk around, and experience a simple, slower pace. Watch the cattle graze while listening to the birds chirping. Starry nights, amazing moons, and the sun rising and setting should not be missed. Come experience this farm as she comes back to life.

The hundred year old farmhouse has been maintained, updated, expanded, and renovated throughout the years. What she lacks in elegancy she gains in charm and character. You will find the house extra clean, sporting a fresh coat of paint, new luxury linens, and plush towels. We will continue improving the exterior, always insuring your visit is uninterrupted.

Come up the porch and enter the house. All bedrooms are upstairs, straight ahead. To the right is the comfortable living room complete with basic television (mainly networks via antenna and blueray/DVD player). The left leads you through another gathering room to the updated and nicely appointed kitchen, complete with a Kuerig coffee maker. The only bathroom is a simple one nestled behind the dining area.

Upstairs consists of three bedrooms. Two have queens and one has a pair of twins. Dual zone central heat and air provide a consistent and comfortable environment. No natural gas or propane systems eliminate the worries of gas in the home. The Kinetico water system provides fresh and purified well water.

Extensive landscaping frames a wonderful patio and deck on the left and rear of the home. Enjoy a steak on the gas grill or cook something at the campfire (firewood provided). Plenty of space is available for the kids to roam, explore the woods, and play in the dirt. Start and end your Shenandoah Valley vacation here each day or make The Guest House at Willow Springs Farm the vacation!

This is not a working vacation. Guests should not anticipate helping with farm chores or activities.

Pre-approved pets are allowed with a fee, $50 per pet -- maximum 2. No smoking in the house. The living room fireplace should not be used. We will attempt to accommodate your travel schedule for arrival and departure times.

Weekly, monthly, and longer term pricing available.

We had the best time - perfect birthday gift for our 5 year old
We loved everything about our stay here! We visited with our 5 year old and 2 year old. The house comfortable and beautifully decorated and the views around the area are stunning. We woke up the next morning to two barn cats outside our door. The kids loved playing with these friendly cats and running along the hills. The owner was so kind, taking time to let them help feed the cows and chickens. Our stay was the highlight of our trip - we would love to come back. Thank you G.R.!

Exactly what we needed!
My husband, ten year old daughter, and I booked a stay at the farmhouse to serve as a relaxing stop off on a long drive home - but it ended up being one of the most standout parts of our trip! First, the house is adorable, decorated so thoughtfully, and quite clean. It was very relaxing just having a cup of coffee in the morning and looking out on the farm. The land around the house is gorgeous rolling hills of farmland - surrounded by three mountain ranges in the distance - and our host GR and his family - were so gracious in telling us about the farm, the area, and the animals. We were also surprised how many things there were to do nearby - we were only there for two nights, but headed into Staunton for some really tasty food and to tour the Woodrow Wilson museum. Would love to come back during the warmer weather sometime and also explore the many outdoor activities available as well. Was a really great spot - providing relaxation but also had local areas of interest. Only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

Great family gathering place
Willow Farms is a great place for families. My adult boys love to cook, and the kitchen was well stocked with all thevpots and pans they needed. The setting is peaceful with plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy a sunny day. We loved our visit.
