About this property

Rockfish Farmhouse - Home In the heart of The Rockfish Valley

The Rockfish Farmhouse is a quaint destination in the Rockfish Valley of Nelson County. The house was built in the early 1900's and we've tried to retain the Farmhouse charm and have completely renovated the entire house. Very close to Wintergreen, wineries, breweries, and US bike route 76, and Skyline drive. This house is on it's own property with super cute calves in the pasture behind the house.

This was a wonderful property! Great location, comfortable and has everything you need in the kitchen to cook. We had five people in our group and the space was perfect! We loved the fire pit and the location in Afton is perfectly situated near the breweries, wineries and hiking. We appreciated the great communication from the host. It was a great stay overall!

We had a great stay at the farmhouse! Being a Short Term rental host myself, cleanliness is my biggest focus. I have to say that this might be the cleanest Home I have ever stayed in. It’s no frills (in the best way!), but has everything you actually need. It’s cozy without being cluttered.We did lots of exploring in the area, but almost did not even have to. The yard and the fire pit kept both the kids and adults entertained. We would absolutely return!

Great farmhouse!

My girlfriends and I stayed in the farmhouse and it was more than amazing. We loved sitting on the back porch with our morning coffee taking in the beautiful Mountain view and the cows! The house is spotless and has everything you need. Very close to nearby wineries!

We took our 4 sons for a ski trip at Wintergreen Resort, and stayed at Sarah and Bryan’s amazingly modernized Farm House. We had an amazing time, and had everything we needed for accommodations. We’ll be back.

UVA Grad Trip

We were very impressed with the house! It was very clean, fresh and plenty of room. The views were amazing, we enjoyed the fire pit and communication with Sarah was easy. It was a little far of a drive (30 minutes) from UVA but we took advantage of all the wineries, breweries and hiking in the Afton area that made it worth it! We totally enjoyed our stay!!

Bachelorette Weekend

A group of 8 of us stayed here for a bachelorette weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everyone had a comfortable stay, plenty of room for gathering and the backyard was so beautiful! It is prime location to many local wineries and breweries making for easy transportation. Our group was already talking about coming back! Thanks for a great weekend!

Great House, Beautiful Views

We had a wonderful stay. The house is more than it's description. The house is spotless and well stocked with all that you need. The views are incredible and the fire pit is amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit even though the temps were in the low 30's. The house is close to wineries and breweries. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone looking in this area.

Cutest Farmhouse - great owners

I couldn't say enough positive things about our stay. The farmhouse was just adorable. Sarah (the owner) checked on us arriving and during our stay. We had forgotten our supplies for s'mores and it was special treat to have a basket of s'mores supplies. The fire pit was lovely and we truly enjoyed everything about the house. Thank you and we'll be back!

Girlfriends weekend away

Charming, comfortable home that was well appointed and in a wonderful location. Home features, comfortable bedding, toiletries provided, fully stocked kitchen, fire pit and firewood. Beautiful view of the mountains and within a short distance of wineries, breweries and hiking. We were a group of 5 friends having a girls weekend, but all want to come back with our families. Sarah, the host was great communicating with us quickly. Lovely home!
