About this cabin rental

TAKE ADVANTAGE: A15% DISCOUNT FOR A STAY OF FIVE DAYS OR LONGER
Turtle Brook Farm. setting on over 100 acres, is home to some half dozen Morgan horses and offers visitors equestrian opportunities, but its accommodations are equally suitable for hikers, fishermen, birders, mountain bikers or anyone else looking to getaway to the heart of Bath County's unspoiled mountain splendor. Public access to the trout-rich Jackson River in Hidden Valley is just 10 minutes away.
The Gold Finch Cabin accommodate a family of four or two couples. The Gold Finch has a fully equipped kitchen, grilling facilities, pleasant living areas and porches and decks to take in wonderful farm views. The cabin is very comfortably and tastefully furnished.
All bedding, towels, linens, kitchenware are provided. The Goldfinch cabin has a large campfire pit for cool summer evenings. Firewood is available at no extra charge.

Should you want to bring your own horse our facility includes a 12 x24 run in sheds with paddocks, a working ring, pasturage and close proximity to several thousand acres of U.S. Forest land across Cobbler Mountain into Hidden Valley. We offer riding lessons as well as meaningful equine interaction for those, especially young children, who may be up close to these beautiful animals for the first time. It is amazing what close contact with a horse can do for a child's self-confidence.
Our private 127 acre environment is a wonderful blend of meadows, pasture land and mountain trail access all of which is open to our guests. Across the fields from our 1840's farm house is a small pond with a picnic area ideal for youngsters' fishing fun. A second stream fed pond, The Dragon Fly Pond, provides another peaceful setting and fishing opportunity. Guests will enjoy the hammock and deck overlooking the bull frog laden pond and watching the colorful dragon flies that lend their name to the site.. There are multiple lovely walks throughout the farm and serious hiking on Cobbler Mountain and throughout the county.
The bird and game populations on the farm are profuse and greatly varied ranging from Baltimore Orioles to Red Tail Hawks and from deer to black bear and foxes. Night skies are dark and filled with a brilliant display of stars above and, in summer, filled all around you with thousands and thousands of industrious fireflies.
If you read Turtle Brook Farm's reviews you will find that most guests come here to escape the rigors of their crowded urban or suburban lives. There are plenty of good books to read and games to play and sights to see, but cell phone service is sketchy except at the farm house. And the Warm Springs library is set up for any and all computer needs.
Your hosts, Lea and Claudia Campbell are always ready to answer questions, offer advice or resupply your cabin, but we know you have not come here to visit us and that you relish your privacy. Once on the farm, you are in your own world.
Turtle Brook is conveniently located on U.S. 220, just two and a half miles north of the county seat of Warm Springs and eight miles north of The Homestead Resort. Lake Moomaw and Douthat State Park are within a 45 minute drive and many other natural attractions of the Allegheny Highlands are within easy reach.

This was our 2nd stay Turtle Brook, and look forward to coming back. The cottage was clean, well appointed, and a comfy bed! The hosts were friendly and so were the horses! I can't say enough nice and positive comments about the our stay. We will definitely come back!

I dont have a single complaint about this cabin :) everytjing is nicely maintained and the owners are not only so kind but also so quick to reply and easy to get a hold of. this canin we stayed in, the gold finch, is also a hot spot for wild life to come visit (bords, bunnies!) and with a cozy atmosphere and a bonfire and grill as well!

Our week at Turtle Brook left us relaxed, re-energized, and best of all - enriched by the hospitality of Lea and Claudia. Our cabin had everything we needed. We did bring in all of our own food and a few preferred kitchen tools as we like to cook and planned to be mostly self-sufficient. The kitchen is stocked with basic items - pots, cast iron skillet, nice dishware, and flatware. The provided sheets, blankets, and bath towels were very clean and thanks to Claudia for reminding us to bring our own pillows. The property is, simply put, beautiful. All of us, including our 1-year old dog, loved the well-mowed lawns as well as the opportunity to pick beautiful wildflowers along the fence lines and unmowed border areas. One thing we did not pick up on in the property description is that there are two rental cabins about 150 feet apart. We had the place to ourselves for part of the week, and then when we did have a neighbor in the other cabin towards the end of our stay they were very considerate.The quality that we cannot overstate is the generosity of Claudia and Lea. They strove to provide everything we would need, including the bountiful firewood which was welcome when the night turned cool and we craved s'mores! While their house is about 1/4 mile away, they completely respected our privacy. At the same time, they welcomed us to roam their entire 100 acres, which includes some fun hikes, ponds, and of course the wonderful horse barns. Above all else, Turtle Brook is about the true spirit of horses. Thanks to Claudia, we were able to understand a little of that spirit. We had asked her if our 9-year old daughter might be able to take some lessons, and we received so much more. Claudia spent several sessions sharing her wealth of horse knowledge...giving and receiving respect, caring and cleaning, approaching, and most fun of all for our daughter--leading these gentle but powerful animals while on their back. Thank you, Claudia and Lea. We will keep Turtle Brook in our hearts!
