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

Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Still Pond Farm is located close to the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Charlottesville, UVA and Virginia’s 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 all around 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 peace and 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.

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

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. I highly recommend this wonderful cottage!

Wonderful stay at Still Pond Farm

Great place for a family getaway … beautiful farm setting, mountain views, and plenty of wildlife in the area - we saw wild turkeys walking 20 feet from the dining room windows, and many deer on the morning walks. Charming cottage, plenty of room for our party of six. Clean and well equipped with modern appliances and air conditioning. The best part was the friendly cat that will greet you every morning on the front deck! Great location to visit the area wineries, tour Skyline Drive, or hike the mountain trails that are nearby.

A lovely autumn weekend

My college friends and I had an incredible time exploring Charlottesville from the cottage at Still Pond. The home itself is beautiful and welcoming, and Smokie the cat was a real highlight. We loved the wraparound porch and beautiful scenery. Joanna was swift and communicative, and even brought us a new Keurig machine the day ours broke. I can’t recommend enough! Thank you, Joanna!

Beautiful location

All was good with my stay but we had a few minor issues / suggestions. The upstairs shower did not have hot water. I would call it lujr warm. All the other shorts and sinks had plenty of hot water. One suggestion to the owner would be to have window treatments on the front main window. In the late afternoon the reflection off of the roof across the parking area creates a pretty bad glare.
