About this house rental
Country Get-a-way:
The GPS address is, 5114 Dick Woods Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
Are you looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living, step back in time 200 years in order to enjoy the rhythms of nature? Come listen to the rain on a tin roof and sleep in the morning until you are finished.
You and your children can feed the chickens, collect eggs, milk goats or go for a long walk. Due to bio-security and health issues we have a strict no pet policy! The owners live in a separate cottage a short distance away and are available for help or emergency.
You can ring the dinner bell or hang out in the "Man Cave" with the 42 inch flat screen TV. Come away and relax with a glass of wine in the cool of the evening as all the stars in the Milky Way pop out to greet you.
The most amazing part of this saga is that it is available only a short 14 minute drive from the Rotunda at University of Virginia. Quarters Farm is also only 15 minutes from Pippen Hill Vineyard, King Family Vineyard and Pollack Vineyard. We are 45 minutes from Wintergreen and close to many fine restaurants.
One new addition is a catering service provided by close friends. They can have the frig stocked when you arrive or cater a meal during your stay. Prices and information sent upon request.
The history of the farm only adds to the mystique. In 1745 King George of England granted 1800 acres to the Mills family who moved to Virginia and had a three story home built with 6 rooms for themselves and their three sons. This home predates the beginning of construction on Thomas Jefferson's Monticello by 18 years. In the 275 years since then, wings and additions have been added on to the original stone and log construction
My father purchased 180 acres, along with the house, in 1952. It is now a sustainable farm selling pastured eggs, and other products which are all available to our guests. My wife and I live in a house close by and run the farm.
A beautiful kitchen attached to a large screened-in porch, along with a second story porch for enjoying the mountain views with your favorite beverage. 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms will comfortably meet your needs.
ALERT: Due to the design of this historic home, there are NO bathrooms/bedrooms on the ground floor. Access to the living areas is via a flight of stairs.
We believe that you will find this home truly inviting and relaxing, well furnished with antiques and beautiful furniture. The house has a whole house generator, so you will not have to leave in the case of a power outage.

Bill and Cynthia were the warmest and most welcoming hosts. The house sits on a large plot between Bill and Cynthia’s home and a large barn for the care of the multitude of animals that you will find here: Chickens, Goats, Horses, and Cows among others. Beware the guard dog! She will smother you with affection and she sheds all year.As far as the house itself, wow! It is a treasure trove of history, older than Monticello, it is filled with fascinating books and memorabilia that would take a lifetime to take in if you so choose. The rooms and beds are spacious and comfortable, and Cynthia and Bill have taken many steps to make your stay as cozy as possible. For an older home it still has the modern touch: brand new fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave. A big screen tv can be found on the ground level in a large seating area with a recliner and a couch, which is heated by a gas fire and/or a space heater.The water pressure can be a little lacking sometimes but you can adjust the heating and that brings the pressure back up. Not sure how the house performs in the warmer days but it is very comfortable in the cold. The fire pit is a bit a ways away from the house but there’s plenty of firewood available and Bill makes sure to stay well stocked!Conveniently located near Charlottesville but well away from the hustle and bustle. If you are looking for peace and rest this would be a perfect spot.

From the very second you enter this property you are made to feel welcomed and appreciated. Whether it is from Cynthia, Bill or the incredible Pyrenees Zoe. Taking time out of their day to ensure you have the most amazing time is always done with a smile and a great chat. The house is phenomenal, from the history to the comfort it was absolutely 5 stars. Greeting and feeding the animals most days, spending the afternoons in the covered patio and the evenings downstairs by the fire made this an extremely relaxing and memorable vacation. A short drive to everywhere, we spent time at the historic downtown mall, visited Monticello, and frequented the many wineries surrounding the property, before coming “home” to a warm welcome and incredible vistas. I also highly recommend utilizing Darby Farms for the catering, the food was amazing as was the service. Thankyou, Bill and Cynthia for an incredible home away from home Vacation!!

We had a lovely time on the farm. Bill and Cynthia are so accommodating and were great with our kids. They absolutely loved feeding the chickens and goats each morning. We will certainly be back!
