Farm & Country stay!

Our 18th century farmhouse is on a real working farm. Cows graze in pastures behind the Inn. Sequestered in one of the oldest historic areas of the country, we are a short (free) ferry ride across the James River from historic Jamestown & Williamsburg.

Agrarian by design, this area has been in cultivation since humans first began to plant seed.

We are an hour's drive to Richmond, to Virginia Beach, to Norfolk and less than that on the ferry to Williamsburg.

The farmhouse, while still on the working farm is far enough away from the comings and goings of the farm to provide a quiet, peaceful setting.

We traced the lineage and know all the inhabitants from the 1700's. A meditation teacher used it for a month to plan her year!

You may walk all over the farm and see the cows (Belted Galloways, or Oreos, & Angus), horses, heritage breed pigs and chickens. AND we have a blueberry and blackberry orchard too. Want to walk in the woods? Our farm is over 400 acres with 200 or so in cultivation, the other 200 are wooded.

Because we are a real, working farm, we stay pretty busy most of the time. You are free to wander around. If we aren't planting, harvesting, helping w the birth of an animal, collecting eggs or any of the 1000 chores we perform daily, we will be happy to answer questions!

If you want a more interactive experience, tag along on morning rounds. People have been farming here since the early 1600's. And before that the natives spent centuries calling this place home. You can just feel it...it is quiet, calm and country. And the people are very, very nice. It's a great place to walk, run, ride a bike, motorcycle or drive.

There is no public transportation in the country. Did I say you are in the country? But still close enough to Williamsburg to enjoy all the amenities. The farm is 13 miles from the ferry landing, truly in farming country. It is rural, but there is a grocery store, pharmacy and a few restaurants 2 miles away in nearby Wakefield, home of the iconic Virginia Diner. We don't have TV or wifi in the house, but that you can have that anywhere, right?
