The Cottage at Hidden Valley Farm

Welcome to our charming, cozy cottage located on Hidden Valley Farm’s 470 acres of rolling hills and mountainous views. Settled on the outskirts of Raphine, a small town in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, the farm has easily accessible and short connections to historic Lexington, Staunton and Charlottesville.

With limited cell service and unavailable access to WiFi at the farm, uninterrupted memories are waiting to be made! Early risers will enjoy spending mornings on the wrap around porch watching the sun rise. Wander the farm and visit with many of the friendly animals and breathe in the fresh, country air. Keep watch for wildlife emerging from the forest’s edge while roasting marshmallows over a dancing fire. As dusk settles in, the fireflies glow and play their own game of hide and seek. As you rest, look up into the twinkling sky as darkness falls and make a wish on a gleaming, shooting star!

Come enjoy the Shenandoah Valley!

An animal lovers dream!
I cannot recommend this place enough! Our stay was magical from start to finish. There were so many cool places in the area to visit and when you got back to the property, it was its own experience in itself! The host has truly thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and feel like home. We travelled with our 2 yr old and we could have left half her things at home because it was provided at the property. We did not even open her bag of toys because there was a whole closet of toys that she enjoyed playing with every day. The wrap around porch provided privacy that made it feel like we had the whole farm to ourselves. We ate breakfast and dinner outside almost every day and enjoyed watching the herds of deer in one field and the cows in another. The animals were by far the most friendly animals I have ever encountered. You can tell that they are all well loved and cared for. We enjoyed visiting the cows, horses and goats multiple times a day throughout our stay. The cat was a particular favorite of my daughter, and the “guard alpaca”, Carl, kept us laughing! The host could not have been more friendly or welcoming and we really appreciated her willingness to share her farm with us! If you are looking for a peaceful oasis with beautiful Mountain views and the company of friendly animals, this is your place! Book it today, you will not be disappointed!!

Mom & daughters weekend
One of the best VRBO properties out there! The location is amazing, the hosts are awesome. We enjoyed all of the animals (cows, horses, alpacas, cats, dogs, goats, tortoise, donkey). The house was perfect for my mom, sisters, daughter and myself. The breezes on the wraparound porch were great when we were outside playing card games. Will definitely return some day!!

Relaxing getaway!
We loved the relaxing on the porch, reading and taking in the sights of the farm! Close to Lexington & hiking trails. Kitchen is very well stocked with all the pots/pans, dishes, etc that you would need for cooking! Duckie, their dog, visited too! We’ll definitely be back!

Cute little farmhouse!
This place was a gem. My only problem was I wish we could stay longer! We were driving through the area and needed a place to rest our heads for the night. I would definitely call this location an “experience” not just a stay. All of the animals were such a fun part of the stay. The driveway is long long…so don’t be worried if you think you’re going wrong…you aren’t. The DVD collection was a nice bonus. The owner was quick and responsive to my questions about the area. Will be back if we are through this was again. A+++

Peaceful getaway with everything you need
We stayed for a long weekend with our 3 year old son and had such a nice time. The house was super clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed coffee on the porch, family dinners in the dining room, and watching the farm animals and some wildlife (a group of about 10 deer grazing in the fields around dusk) throughout the day. Easy drive into Lexington, which was our reason for the trip, and a fantastic toy closet that kept our son entertained when we needed a break from the heat outside. We'd love to book this property again!

A perfect getaway
We stayed at the cottage for a weekend girls trip and we immediately fell in love with this place. The views were stunning and the house was so clean, renovated, and well stocked. The house had tons of natural light and plenty of seating and space for all of us. Internet and cell reception was very spotty but we knew about that from the owner communication and we weren’t bothered by unplugging for a couple days. You can find little pockets of coverage if you walk around. Even though we didn’t bring the kids, I was impressed by how kid friendly this cottage is. From dishes to games to a closet of toys and stuffed animals and all the animals you can see on the farm, kids would have a great time here! We loved taking walks on the farm and seeing all the animals. Watching the cattle come over the hill at dusk and seeing the large herd of deer out in the field was a relaxing end to the day. The horses were beautiful and the highland cows were really fun to see. The donkey, alpacas and goats provided some extra entertainment too. We didn’t explore the area too much but there are caverns and lavender fields and lots of hiking and a few waterfalls all within 30 minutes of the farm. Even staying on the farm the whole weekend there were lots of memories made. It was so peaceful and relaxing and we truly can’t wait to be back!

Mother's Day Get Away
My mother and sisters stayed at Hidden Valley Farm for the Mother's Day weekend. We loved every moment of our stay. The Hosts were awesome! The cottage was beautiful and very accommodating for our stay! We used every space available in the cottage and outside. It was such a peaceful and restful place. We were close to many activities - the area is rich in history. Lastly, the animals on the farm were awesome and we enjoyed watching and visiting them all! We hope to stay here again in the future!

Perfect!
Our entire family loved this place so much. We were greeted by a sweet orange cat and he went on a long walk later towards the woods after we visited with all the friendly farm animals. We saw horses, goats, steers, alpacas and a large tortoise. It brought me back to my childhood growing up on our family farm in Wisconsin. The views are incredible at any place you look. We sat on the porch and watched the sunset and then went to the back and started a fire on the very nice patio with a grand fireplace. The kids collected sticks but there was a starter pile. When we woke up in the morning we were greeted again but by three super fun dogs (the owner asked if we were ok with them and of course yes my kids have been wondering where the dogs were the whole trip) they added so much entertainment. They came with us while we visited all the farm animals again and the kids played fetch. The house was perfect for us. A lot of room, clean, coffee and creamer were available. This is my dream home and was thrilled to visit. If you have kids or love animals or beautiful views this is your place! A+

Beautiful and Awesome
Everything was great. No complaints. This property is the home of Cyrus McCormicks dad. If you don’t know who Cyrus McCormick is, look him up. The farmers do. History buffs know him. Beautiful area easy to get to and looking up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. All the modern amenities in a late 1700’s house. Entertaining just watching the cow roundup every morning drinking coffee on the front porch. Duckie the dog is a delight. Everything was just easy. Highly recommend and I don’t usually do reviews.

Loved the farm
This was the best place for my grandson who is three. We all loved the farm animals and big open spaces, but he enjoyed the Avenger action men and other toys. The house stayed warm and was comfortable. Be aware that our phone internet was minimal but we enjoyed a night without devices. Wish we were coming back this way again.
