About this house rental

Baldwin Farm is located in the central Shenandoah Valley, the house is a three-bedroom, two-bath modern country home framed with a large sitting porch looking out on the Alleghany mountains. It is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle.

The mattresses are brand new pillowtops with all new bedding so you can have a comfortable, restful sleep.
Pastoral setting. Outside Middlebrook, VA, the house is the center of a working farm. The property sits in a natural bowl with progressively rising hills culminating in the foothills of the nearby mountains. Mark the passage of time as the light descends the slopes in the morning and ascends later and finally gives way to the starry night after the sunset.
Contemplative. Sitting off a country road, quiet solitude with some country noise should be expected at Baldwin Farm. Get out, walk around the farm, and experience a simple, slower pace. Watch the cattle graze while looking out over pastureland framed by the mountains. On clear nights, enjoy a view of the starry night sky that one can only get in a relatively light free environment.
Meditative atmosphere. Sit on the large covered porch and listen to the wind chimes or gaze out the large picture window in the living room while contemplating the foothills of the Alleghany mountains, verdant in the spring and summertime, cloaked in color in the fall.

This is my second time staying at this property. It is clean and comfortable. Nice kitchen with some staples to use. Love the back porch and watching and hearing all of the wildlife. Hosts are very great to work with. Looking forward to staying here again.

We and our dogs really enjoyed staying at this property. We came to escape fireworks and flyovers in DC over the July 4th holidays.The dogs, a greyhound and an Irish Doodle, loved to run in the enclosed fields. They are city dogs so being off leash was a real treat. The kitchen was so well equipped, including some staples, that we didn’t need to eat out and enjoyed cooking. Grocery was a short drive away. We will return next year…

The house is beautiful. It has everything you could possibly need, including cooking basics. I loved the view from the front porch. We drank our coffee there every morning and watched the cows. The property is secluded and very quiet, but it was only a short ride to Staunton and route 81. The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly. I highly recommend this house, and I know I will be returning to it if I’m in the area again.
