Stunning home

This home was perfect for graduation weekend with our family. We had a wonderful time reading about the history of this home and exploring the beautiful details inside the house. Everything you would ever want was provided. Highly recommend this unique property!

Historical & Cozy

Many of our family were happy to stay at Sarah’s home while in town for a wedding. Everyone was amazed at the home's beauty and how well it had been renovated. The property was clean, and the host was always quick to answer our questions and easy to work with. If we are ever in the area again, we would be happy to stay again!

Beautifully remodeled farmhouse.

It was JMU graduation weekend and we booked this home for 3 families to stay and celebrate a granddaughter's graduation. The home was clean and neat. The kitchen was amazing (we cook). The kitchen had everything you could ever imagine and was an excellent place to socialize. We enjoyed our stay and would book this place again in a heartbeat for more JMU weekends. Maybe a 10-15 min drive to Harrisonburg.

Beautiful, historic gem plus convenience to JMU!

Chose site for its convenience to JMU, its spacious accomodations for our family's stay for graduation, got the added benefit of experiencing a real working farm and beautifully renovated historic home... would definitely stay again!
