The Cottage at Still Pond Farm Horse Farm Stay near Charlottesville & Shenandoah

Nestled in Virginia’s Piedmont, in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is located near the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville, UVA, and the region’s renowned wine country. Our peaceful countryside farm offers ever-changing mountain vistas, wooded trails, and a calming rural escape.

Still Pond was designed by renowned landscape architects Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a misty morning, the landscape offers breathtaking views in every season. Wildlife can be seen and heard throughout the farm, and the sky—whether filled with stars or a glowing moon—is always spectacular. It’s an ideal setting for birdwatching, wildlife observation, stargazing, or simply soaking in the serenity of true quiet.

Our cozy two-story cottage with a loft and wraparound porch is comfortably furnished for a relaxing getaway. Located near the horse stables, the cottage offers easy parking and views of the barn, paddocks, 60-foot round pen, and natural pond. A wooded border behind the cottage adds privacy and a sense of peaceful seclusion—perfect for nature lovers and stargazers alike. In the evenings, gather around the outdoor firepit and enjoy the fresh mountain air beneath clear country skies.

Come experience the quiet beauty and tranquility of life on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you!

We had such a great stay. The property was beautiful, especially at the firepit at night. It was a wonderfully peaceful place to disconnect from our normal city life with our kids. My young kids got to run around and pet horses. Wildrock was an awesome outdoor playscape nearby. The property host was very responsive to all my questions. We would love to return some time.

This was a beautiful property with a cozy cabin. We enjoyed the friendly horses and Smokey the cat. It was quiet and relaxing and just what we needed for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of life.

The perfect rustic cabin feel but with all the amenities you want. Very clean and well-maintained. The host quickly fixed a light in one of the closets when we asked about it. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch while listening to the birds. Close to several wineries!

If your looking for a peaceful lovely place to stay in a rural setting but just a short drive to Charlottesville and Skyline Drive and all they have to offer, this is it. Have stayed in many VRBOs in the past and this was one of the very best. We will be back. Also should mention this is centrally located in Virginia wine country.

Great stay at Still Pond Farm

We had a lovely stay at the Cottage at Still Pond Farm. The rooms are brighter than they appear in photos. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the setting was beautiful. We were in town for UVA graduation and it was a pretty 30 minute drive to the festivities. The owner was always very responsive to messages prior to our stay. We had no issues during our stay.
