50mi from Takoma Park · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Southern Gateway, VA
Originally part of Blake Farm, built in the 1930's. Blake Farm was subdivided into 5 acres farmettes in the 1990's. The original farmhouse is next door, now known as Agape Farms. The forest has reclaimed much of the original Blake Farm land. Visit over 4 acres of available land, from the pastures, to the wooded creek, or the very back edge of the farm abutting deep woods. Spend relaxing time petting the Nigerian Dwarf goats, Rhode Island Red chickens, and the super-friendly livestock guard dogs (Thomasina, Bucky, and Sarge). We are also located adjacent to Agape Farms, with its horses, ducks, and chickens. All this in horse country just minutes from I-95 and an hour from Washington, DC or Richmond, VA.

The place is amazing! Me my wife and our fur baby loved everything about the place. It has a rustic vibe surrounded by farm animals and wild life! The only thing I would have changed was we didn’t stay long enough! The fresh eggs were amazing to have for breakfast, wish I would have got more than just a dozen. And Rodney, the host was such great guy. You have your own little private spot to just sit back and enjoy. We will definitely be coming back in the short future to see the horses, goats, and other animals again.

I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the tiny house! It’s the perfect option for anyone looking for an easy getaway from the busy DMV area. The space is cozy, peaceful, and well thought out—just what I needed to disconnect and recharge. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back.

Had a great time glamping at Edwin's farm. The tent is cozy, the bed is comfy, and the dogs are adorable. Site was a bit hot during the day in full sun but comfortable after sundown. A picnic table would enhance the experience. Overall my son and I loved it and would return.

We loved camping on the top of the Land Rover. A very unique experience for me and my kids. Three of us squeezed in and we slept well. The dogs- as everyone states- are truly a joy to be around. Peaceful fun adventure getaway for a night.

Perfect stop over during my road-trip. It’s very clean, cozy, and convenient. I put my perishables and ice packs in the little fridge/freezer. Boiled water for my tea and instant soup. My dog and I enjoyed visiting with the horses and having a nice walk around the farm. Nighttime was peaceful and quiet for stargazing and getting good rest. Highly recommend as a pet-friendly place to stay.
