Wolftrap Farm was owned by James & Dolley Madison during their time, and they called it Black Meadow. Their home, Montpelier, is just across the mountains you see from the campsite. It passed through the hands of various local farmers during the 19th & 20th centuries, and for many years was a dairy farm. It became primarily a horse farm in the 1970's, when it was owned by the German Von Wulffen family.
The Cuthrell family from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area acquired the farm in 2003 and converted it to a resort farm, featuring upscale vacation homes. Beginning around 2013, the farm started morphing into primarily a wedding venue, and now hosts over 60 weddings each year.
Nestled in a beautiful, serene setting, Wolf Trap Farm offers glamping tents with all the comforts of home, such as AC units and nearby facilities. Guests love the stunning views of mountains and sunsets, as well as the chance to fish and spot local wildlife. While the tents are comfy and well-equipped, some mention the presence of ticks and bugs during hotter months. Overall, it's a peaceful escape with friendly hosts and plenty of nature to enjoy.
The tent was unique, well set up, and clean. The scenery was picturesque with the sunset over the mountains and then lit up by the sun the next morning. We had a storm roll through the second night but the tent was spacious enough that we didn’t feel cramped in the least. Will definitely be on our visit again list.
Wolf trap farm was beautiful, and the glamping sites had great amenities! Kevin was helpful and easy to communicate with. The party patio with hot tub was fun, and it was great to have the pavilion to hang out in when it was too sunny or rainy out. Fair warning: this area had a lot of ticks while we were there in mid July. I noticed ticks would be crawling on the outside of the tent right by the zipper entrance, so be careful and check for ticks throughout your stay.
Beautiful site! Thankful for the bathrooms and showers being close distance and being able to use the kitchen to store food. AC in the tent was definitely a blessing and we brought our own fan. Tent 2 has the best shade. That being said, it was definitely HOT -95 degree days easy. Also the bugs were out-especially the ticks. We would easily find 5 or 6 on us a piece a day. They werent so bad until nighttime when there were gnats and beetles despite us keeping the tent closed and the lights to a minimum. We will definitely be back but in the fall/winter when the bugs aren't as bad. Overall we liked our stay. It was a little slice of heaven despite the circumstances.
Tents are easily accessible from the parking spot.
Bathrooms are close by and the view from the fire pit is great. In the summer, nights can be hot but our tent had a standing A/C unit which helped. Besides the heat, the only thing to be aware of is that the three tents are pretty close to each other (within 100 ft). For us, it wasn’t an issue though. Nearby Gordonsville is charming. We’d recommend this site.
Gorgeous setting, nice hot shower with lots of space and very convenient utility sink. Tent is very unique, comfortable bed, very nice deck and picnic table area. Beautiful trail through woods nearby.
My boyfriend and I had a really nice time at Wolftrap Farm! The glamping tent was awesome, we had everything we needed, and it was clean and cozy! The tent was in a nice private spot (but still within a short distance to facilities) with an gorgeous view of the mountains. We had a lot of fun relaxing and fishing at the pond (caught 14 fish between the two of us). It was amazing time, would definitely recommend for anybody trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Thank you so much Keith!
