- "What a beautiful place! The interior is spotless clean and modern with great amenities. The view is so beautiful and the setting is quiet and peaceful. We loved sitting on the porch just taking it in. Thank you for a great stay!" - "We loved this property! It was great for our annual reunion of middle school friends celebrating 40 years of friendship. The location was very convenient for visiting Monticello, and the views from the back porch were only topped by the view from the top of the mountain! We would recommend bringing vehicles with a slightly higher ground clearance due to the curvy and unpaved portion of the access road. We met the property owners when we went to enjoy a sunset at the top of the hill, and they were very friendly and welcoming!"

- "Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful cabin inside and out. A wonderful place to get away and relax." - "Everything you would ever want for a vacation! The restored/rebuilt cabin is nothing short of amazing, from the craftsmanship, to the fine furnishings, to the modern conveniences and amenities. We walked the beautiful property and trails, and fished and relaxed by the ponds. We traveled to nearby towns for antique shops, explored different areas of Charlottesville, visited the Monticello, and traveled Skyline Drive in Shenendoah National Park. This property is quiet, secluded, and a real treat to nature enthusiasts like our family. We spent hours rocking on the porch while watching fawns and bald eagles daily. Wic was the most gracious and thoughtful host who made us feel welcome and at home. His hospitality and special touches made us feel like family. One week was not enough. We cannot wait to return to this property, it is truly Heaven on Earth!"

Please, ask us about this! Happy stay!

- "House was wonderfully appointed and super clean. It was very spacious and accommodating. Hosts were wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Fenced in backyard was very much enjoyed by our dog. We even got to enjoy some fruit and vegetables for the garden by the house. 10/10 would recommend and we look forward to our next stay." - "The home was stunning - so much natural light and lovely views. As far as VRBO rentals we have had, this is by far the cleanest with everything anyone will need for their home away from home. No issues whatsoever.

If you would like to interact with the farm animals or enter an animal enclosure, it must be done in the presence of one of the farm helpers to ensure all gates are properly closed and locked.

Full disclosure: Although the farm is peaceful most of the time it is a farm complete with the sound of crowing, quacking, braying, and mooing. Sometimes there are geese honking, a dog barking and goat nays. All of the farm animals include the smell of the farm if the wind is blowing right. All of the farm animals are friendly and non-threatening, but there is one sassy goose to keep an eye out for. Bring boots for visiting the animals, especially in the winter months when the grass is dead and it is rainy. Please note that this is a farm in the country, and there is always the possibility of encountering critters like bugs, spiders, lizards, etc.

My family lives on the premises so we are here in case of an emergency.

- "Perfect place for girls trip. Hit up local wineries and Uber back safely to this house. Beds were firm, but I found them comfy!! We honestly didn’t really utilize the kitchen, so can’t speak to how well stocked the kitchen was. The house was clean and plenty of space for all 9 of us!! Was very easy to access. Close to grocery and ABC store and a few restaurants. Would definitely stay here again for a girl’s trip!!" - "We loved this as a stop for our family of 6 on the way to the Outer Banks. Easy stop off the highway, much much better than multiple hotel rooms! Even though it’s close to the highway it’s also tucked away in nature, loved the big yard and the fire pit. Kids loved the game room after a long day in the car. Clean, comfortable and well stocked kitchen and bathrooms!!"

- "The property was peaceful and quiet. " - "Arriving there, our house was double booked and since there is a house next door we were saved and able to stay in Peartree. Frightenly poor communication with host. There were bookings from Bookings.com that overbooked our already paid confirmation. I am a lover of historical homes and beautiful mountain views. Many nice upgrades in the house were done. Clearly there was an effort to bring the farm house up to date. Since the host refuses to communicate up front and on arrival I fear the next guest who doesn’t love old houses and mountains."

This listing includes 2 dwellings on the same farm -- the Cottage and Cabin at Stonemont Farm -- perfect for larger groups that want to enjoy each other's company and have space to spread out. Newly renovated Cottage and Cabin in beautiful Keswick, Virginia nestled into the hillside of a historic 170-acre farm that was originally part of a land grant belonging to the father of the famed explorer Meriwether Lewis. The Cottage is 3 bed/2 bath - sleeps 8 and the Cabin is 1 bed/1 bath - sleeps 4. In the heart of the Southwest mountain range, yet only 25 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, Stonemont Farm Retreat is perfect for enjoying a relaxing weekend while being a short drive to nearby vineyards and cideries Barboursville Vineyards, Castle Hill Cider, Keswick Hall, Keswick Vineyards, Merrie Mill, and Southwest Mountains Vineyards.

The Cottage:
The front door of the cottage welcomes you into a sitting room with a beautiful bay window and pull-out sofa bed. This upper level also features 2 bedrooms with Queen sized beds, a full bath, dining room, laundry, full kitchen, and access to a large balcony with views of the pond. The stairs off the kitchen will take you to the lower level that has a second large living room, designated work space, third Queen bedroom, full bath, pull-out sleeper sofa, second laundry, and second kitchen! Walk out the back door to enjoy exclusive access to the fishing pond, grill, fire pit, and lawn space. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and relaxation.

The Cabin:
The Cabin welcomes guests with a large, covered front porch with rocking chairs and a swing ready for catching sunsets. Inside, you'll find a spacious, newly renovated living room with queen sleeper sofa, smart TV, vaulted ceilings, and endless natural light. The custom kitchen features new stainless steel appliances and everything to prepare meals, plus an eat-in style dining table that seats four. Just beyond the kitchen is the laundry room and full bath designed around the original clawfoot tub. The large, private Queen bedroom is lofted above the kitchen and accessed via stairs in the living room. Guests will feel transported by the cabin's modern, light, and airy design while embracing the forests and fields on this historic property. Outside, guests have exclusive access to a grill, chiminea, and fire pit to enjoy one's company by the fireside.

Ideally located within 13 miles of downtown Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, Keswick Hall, Gordonsville, Montpelier, and Monticello, this home is a perfect home base for a wedding weekend or getaway with family and friends. The back roads are a favorite for cyclists, and the Southwest Mountains' nearby hiking trails are renowned among birdwatchers.

Key Features:
- Chiminea and fire pit with firewood provided
- Fishing pond at the Cottage (swimming not permitted)
- Charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal)

Other Notable Items:
- Pets welcome - 2 dogs max at the Cottage - 1 dog max at the Cabin - $75 per dog
- Mountain gravel road required to access; four-wheel drive vehicle recommended in winter weather conditions
- The Cottage and Cabin were completely renovated in 2022 and 2023 respectively and feel brand new; however, both are set in a rural landscape. Guests may encounter bits of nature seeking shelter indoors and will find comfort using the handheld vacuum to dispose of any insect intruders.

- "Perfect size and location for our extended weekend. No one bothering you and felt like it was your own home" - "We had a wonderful stay at the Stonemont farm for my friend’s bachelorette weekend. The cottage and cabin were decorated beautifully and very clean. Checking in and out was smooth and simple. We loved that the location was near wineries and also hiking because those were our main reasons for visiting. Overall I would recommend this rental to any large group! We had a wonderful time and the property was beautiful! "

Visit Monticello, UVA and your choice of over a dozen wineries within 30 minutes' drive. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the rural location, with the convenience of being just a few miles from Zion Crossroads, where you have many restaurants, grocery store, and other shopping options (including a week-end farmer's market). Just 15 minutes into Charlottesville.

- "The property was perfect for our stay for UVA graduation weekend. It is a quick drive to grounds and comfortably fit four people. We had a slight problem upon arrival, where the adjoining rental had gained access to our property through a door left unlocked. The owner was immediately available to resolve, but it was unnerving to find someone in our space. Recommend a deadbolt lockout between the areas for the future, as even when locked, we would have controlled access to their area- which isn't safe for the other renters."

The cottage:
A quaint getaway set back in Virginia wine country, this lovely cottage makes a perfect Vineyard getaway. Our design concept focused on a bright, airy contemporary cottage with an old fashioned feel. Clean, modern lines and high ceilings mix with graceful arches, re-sawn heart pine rafters and hardwood floors.

The ground level offers a lovely common room with TV and sofa bed that can sleep 2. There are 2 sunny and inviting bedrooms -- a king bedroom and a queen with adjoining bathroom.
Head downstairs to find a spacious dining space, as well as an additional full bathroom and washer/dryer. The downstairs kitchen takes its inspiration from the French farm kitchen that provides access to the private backyard patio.

- "Property is tucked in back a gravel road. It was a great get away for my girlfriend and I and our dogs. Highly recommend!" - "This property is not well suited for guests. The second (ground floor) bathroom does not have an inside door, nor does it have window coverings blocking view from the outside, so there is zero privacy from the inside or outside. The house has no clothes closets, clothes hanging space or even towel rods. We were in town for a wedding, so this was an issue. Some effort should be made to provide basic amenities, i.e. a shower curtain for the upstairs shower. Also, there was a lack of hot water in the upstairs shower, although plenty in other areas of the house. A clear, empty throw-away hand soap dispenser was set up on the master bathroom sink, which was not helpful at all. The house also needs minimal basic conveniences like a mirror in the bedrooms, a dresser or set of drawers of some sort, a towel bar in the bathroom, and some space to hang minimal clothing items, even if just a rolling closet rack. Simply put, it appears no effort has been made to provide any comfort or convenience for the people staying in the house. Anyone planning to use this home as a staging point for getting ready for a nice dressy affair, requiring hot showers, mirrors to get ready, or clothes on hangers will be challenged. On the plus side, the a/c worked very well, and the kitchen appliances appear new."

- "The cottage is really superb. It appears to be a recent refinish, and the build quality is excellent. All the appliances are great, fixtures, bathroom seems new and very high end. The entire place and grounds are maintained to a great standard. The owners clearly put a lot of thought and effort into having a five star hotel experience for guests. But with a much more peaceful and calm environment; the location is wonderful. "

- "Ben Coolyn Farm offered our three generation family an ideal place to retreat for nearly a week. Because we had three under 4, we chose to eat all our meals in the beautiful, light filled, well equipped kitchen with its long table with a wall of windows looking out over the expansive lawn, over the pond, the vineyard to the mountains. A family of musicians, we played the grand piano and the instruments we brought; we put together myriad puzzles, and explored the extensive paths through beautiful gardens and played games on all the shady lawns. The heated swimming pool drew us to the house. We hired a superb teacher to give three littles swimming lessons every morning. The area is wonderful - we know because we live on the other side of Charlottesville - so this was about a retreat and being together after the separation of the Pandemic. It was magical setting. We are so grateful!"
