Welcome to our small Farm and Inn, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Madison County, Virginia. Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, we offer intimate nature-inspired cottages and camping on our 120-acre working farm. Enjoy an evening under the stars with fireflies and a campfire after a long day hike, fly fishing on one of our beautiful trout steams or touring the local vineyards and breweries. We currently offer one cottage and a few campsites for our guests. Our campsites are all private, located acres apart with tables, chairs, firepits, some elevated sleeping areas, some hammock spots and a few with a roof. Three of our spots require walking away from your vehicle, short distances. We have four drive-in sites that will accommodate two or three vehicles. We do not allow RVs or trailers on our main farm due to our narrow mountain driveway. Wisteria Camp has a private driveway therefore can accommodate small RV/Trailers. Camper vans are welcome at the main farm! Our farm store includes our Animal Welfare Approved products such as Eggs, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb and Dairy, as well as produce, jams, coffee and other items from our local community. We offer camping essentials, local art, bike rentals, farm experiences and tours. The property has miles of trails along mountain spring-fed streams, a small pond and access to three private acres on the Robinson River, a stocked Trout stream, just 2 miles down the road. Our property is centrally located to White Oak Canyon (20 minutes) and Old Rag Mountain (10 minutes) trailheads in the Shenandoah National Park as well as many vineyards and breweries. A few offerings on the farm. Tasting in the 1850s Chestnut log cabin, tubing trips, breakfast and picnic lunches, Animal experiences and Yoga. Please inquire about renting the property for private small events.

Butterfly Camp: Near Shenandoah NP
Dream stay!
This campsite experience was an absolute dream: peaceful, beautiful, and well-maintained. Butterflies all day and blackberries in the bushes. I was so sad when I had to leave. Thank you for an amazing escape!

Sawmill Cottage near Shenandoah NP
Great Cottage!
This is a great little cottage to stay at if you are planning on doing some of the many activities in the area. The cottage is not on the main farm but is only a two minute drive away. Everything was clean and well maintained. I did not have any cell service either so you need to use the home WiFi for making calls.

Birdsong Camp: Near Shenandoah NP
Jennifer was an AMAZING host. She had so much to share about the area, her property, and her animals. Her animal stories are hilariously colorful, and her store is full of custom memorabilia related to her farm. The birdsong campsite is likewise wonderfully quiet, quaint, and private. There are also trails right around the farm that are worth a quick jaunt, especially if you find your way to the wizard! She has so many projects going on to further enhance the amenities and the experience, and there is no doubt another visit will be in order!

Butterfly Camp: Near Shenandoah NP
The Butterfly Camp was exactly what we were looking for! A quiet and beautiful nook surrounded by trees and butterflies. The tent site is shaded by trees which is an added bonus. Jennifer responded to all of my texts quickly and the instructions on how to arrive are very clear. The farm is in the perfect location, near to many hiking trails and vineyards. I highly recommend!

Just Book it it’s awesome
Butterfly camp is amazing. So beautiful, private, and close to a nice brewery and the National Park. We loved all the animals especially the donkey and pig pals. Jennifer was so helpful. Thanks
