I stayed two nights and the entire experience was beyond my wildest dreams.
I am a tent camper so I stayed at one of the six sites in the pasture. There are several horses, alpacas, sheep, cows, an donkey, and goats that roam in the mornings and evenings. They were all friendly and greeted me with great enthusiasm. There are also other animals including ducks and chickens.
I opted for two add-ons - feeding the farm animals and kayaking on the Shenandoah River about a mile away. Stacey’s daughter, “A”, patiently explained what we fed and why and was a super patient teacher willing to answer any question I could throw at her. They were also extremely accommodating when I couldn’t lift the kayak solo onto my Jeep, helping make sure I made it down to the river and back. I saw lots of birds, fish, turtles, tadpoles, dragonflies, and butterflies on the river.
Back to the site - there is a portapotty as well as a camp shower with hot water. Bring your own towel and soap (duh!) but that does wonders to make you feel more civilized. There is also a communal fire pit outside of the pasture including a grill grate and tongs - perfect for hanging out before you’re ready to get into your tent.
I will definitely be back again soon!
