Enjoy the tranquil surroundings of a lovingly restored 1880s farmhouse set on 42 acres. New to the rental market in 2024, Fiddletree Farm features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a chef's kitchen, and stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountain and surrounding piedmont. With room for either one or two families, or perhaps a group of friends looking to celebrate or relax together, Fiddletree is an ideal country getaway.
Route 66's express lanes help make Fiddletree only a one hour drive from Washington DC. Once here, expect to be charmed by open spaces, rolling hills and starry skies. Cows graze on the surrounding fields, wildflowers grow along the banks of Crooked Run, and keen observers might even spot a fox, bald eagle or maybe even a bobcat.
The Italianate-style farmhouse at Fiddletree was built in the 1880s by the Delaplane family for whom the nearby town is named. Tastefully renovated just last year, guests will enjoy a fully appointed chef's kitchen, ample seating and lounge areas, working fireplaces, fully remodeled bathrooms, and modern amenities. There are four bedrooms upstairs: three king size bedrooms plus one bunk bed room. And a fifth bedroom can be set up downstairs for extra guests or for the convenience of seniors hoping to avoid stairs. A lovely dining room with wood-burning fireplace is perfect for dinner parties. Various sitting rooms and reading nooks are there for socializing or quiet enjoyment. And guests are free to wander the 42-acre property, which includes nature trails, a vegetable garden, mature trees, and working fields.
Fiddletree is in an ideal location. Just up the road is Sky Meadows State Park, which has access to the Appalachian Trail and hosts astronomy programs on Dark Sky nights. If you're thirsty or just curious, sample local wines at RDV, Delaplane Cellars, Arterra Wines, Three Fox Vineyards, or Barrel Oak, all just minutes away. If you plan to eat-in, pick-your-own fruits and vegetables at either nearby Hollin Farms or Valley View Farms. And if you prefer to eat-out, consider the Hunter's Head Tavern, an authentic British-style gastro pub just minutes away in Upperville, or Field & Main, an acclaimed farm-to-table restaurant in nearby Marshall. Also in Marshall, don't miss the famous Red Truck Bakery or the Whole Ox butcher shop, where you can get a perfect cheeseburger.
Those wiling to venture further afield can discover something in every direction along scenic and stress-free country roads. The adorable and upscale town of Middleburg, home of the Salamander Resort & Spa, is just 15 miles to the East. Historic Winchester is 20 miles to the North through the Ashby Gap and over the Shenandoah River. Charming Warrenton, is just over 20 miles to the South past Great Meadow, home of the Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase races. And hikers can find their way into Shenandoah National Park just 19 miles to the West.
