Old Rag View Horse Farm with Log Lodge and Treehouse

Chestnut Oak Farm is a luxurious western-style lodge retreat on a 90 acre horse farm near the base of Old Rag Mountain. The lodge was constructed in 2009 using granite blocks from the farm and huge Virginia pine logs in a western style of rustic elegance. The lodge is surrounded by decks and porches to take in the magnificent view over Hidden Valley, Old Rag Mountain, the farm's twin ponds, and the horses grazing in the fields. The lodge is equipped with a Chef's Kitchen, huge dining room (we have seated sixteen), double-sided fireplace, baby grand piano, screened porch, and covered porch. The main lodge house has three Master Bedrooms, and two other large bedrooms with a shared bath. Downstairs is a walkout game room with foosball, ping pong, bar, and a fire pit/movie pit with 52" screen TV. The outdoor 8 person hot tub is steps away, overlooking the pond.

150 feet down the hill below the pond is the 'Guest' Treehouse. The treehouse is a cedar sided two level cabin-style house which sleeps six, with full bath and kitchen--and an optional fire pole exit for the adventurous. This treetop aerie has to be seen to be believed!

The farm has a small herd of horses and one alpaca, Mike. We have hiking trails on the property. A fantastic network of both gravel and paved roads fans out from the farm for incredible short and long distanced cycling routes. Or you can leave the farm to hike the incredible local trails or fish the local streams, or visit some of the local wineries or organic farms. We are 35 miles from Charlottesville, and 82 miles from Washington DC.

Caretakers live onsite and can help out with questions, firewood, directions, and even with provisioning if desired. They are happy to arrange spectacular custom-guided trail rides from a local stable in the surrounding mountains--even overnight camping trips.

Didnt want to leave!
This was our 6th annual friends trip. We started coming to the mountains together as a group of 10 six yrs ago. I can't say enough how beautiful this place is, we absolutely loved it! We definitely plan on making this our mountain getaway place each year. The house is awesome. The house has a great kitchen. There really isnt anything that they dont provide here. There only 2 things which our group would like to see updated. First is the lack of window coverings on the bedroom windows. We would like to have some privacy since all the rooms are mostly on lower level and face the big open yard where we spent the majority of our time. Also a couple rooms were kept lit up all night because of the full moon. The second would be to either update with better mattresses (especially rooms with twin/double beds) or add cool memory foam toppers. Kids don't care what they sleep on but us older adults definitely need decent mattresses. Caretakers Joe and Charlotte were super nice and available if we needed anything.

Best location for Cousin Reunion
We planned our reunion for 12 adults and decided on this property for October. It was totally amazing! Lots and lots of room and plenty to do. We visited wineries and distilleries during the afternoons but hung out and cooked in all weekend. The views from all the rooms are spectacular. The walk does the road to see the horses and meet Joe the caretaker was fun. Communication with the host was sparse but a very detailed set of instructions and things to do was sent a few days before check in which was very helpful. This is a truly peaceful place. Oh, and I need to practice up on my ping pong!

Family Time
Our family of 10, which included 3 generations, had a wonderful stay at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone, the kitchen was nicely appointed, the tree house was enjoyed by teen grandsons, and several really enjoyed the fireplace climbing wall!

Perfect!
The main house/lodge is amazing. Views are gorgeous. The setting is peaceful and private. There are so many areas inside and outside of the house that it was hard to choose where to gather. Double ovens and dishwasher worked out great for a group. This was our best family get together yet!

In one word - AMAZING
My family stayed here for a wedding in Washington, Virginia. The photos don't do the property justice! The house is absolutely beautiful - as are the views! Rooms are spacious and there are plenty of beds and bathrooms! The caretakers - Charlotte and Joseph - as well as the owner - were extremely responsive with any needs that we had. We spent each morning sitting on the front deck - looking out at the mountains. The additional tree-house is so cute - I only wish we had children that could have enjoyed it. We are already talking about having a family reunion there in the future!

Spectacular property!
Our group of 12 had the best stay at this magnificent farm property! It was the perfect setting for multiple generations to bond, play, eat, and laugh together. We could not stop marveling at all the thought that must have gone into designing and appointing the very special house and treehouse. The photos absolutely do not do it justice - the views are majestic and the house is stunning! We were initially worried because VRBO assessed a $1000 fee for "additional guests," even though we were under the occupancy limit. When we did not get a response to our request to have the the fee removed, we got worried and almost canceled. I eventually connected with the owner and he eventually removed it. Am I glad that we didn't cancel! Although communications with the owner were spotty, when I did connect with him, he was helpful and provided great information. It's clear he loves his property and wants guests to feel welcome. We feel blessed to have been able to experience this special place, and we look forward to returning!
