About this property

Stunning Old Rag and Shenandoah Vistas from this Gorgeous, Peaceful Retreat

Relax and spread out in this beautifully-appointed, comfortable, modern home, with three distinct levels. Located at the foot of Old Rag Mountain, in a little known paradise, the Etlan Valley, Four Fields Farm offers panoramic views from the spacious deck and almost every window, with the majesty of Old Rag front and center. From the vantage point of this charming property, overlooking fields, natural meadows, and picturesque farms, you can leave the world behind. Kick back in the lower level family room, read a good book in the hammock, cook a delicious meal in the well-appointed kitchen, share family time in the first floor great room, or head out to local wineries, breweries, fine dining, farmers markets, or historical venues. Easy walks, lawn games, and bike rides on country roads are outdoor options, too. Shenandoah National Park's border is acres away, offering great hikes to graceful waterfalls or challenging peaks, with plenty of bird and wildlife watching all around. Seek further adventures nearby: Skyline Drive, Monticello, Inn at Little Washington, Luray Caverns, adorable downtown Culpeper, and so much more! You will never want to leave.

Four Fields Farm is served by Piedmont Broadband, a local, well-respected, antenna based internet provider. Piedmont Broadband has an excellent track record by always providing quick customer service and consistent reliabiliy, with download speeds of at least 10 Mbph and upload speeds of at least 3 Mbph. Many guests comment on consistent and reliable internet service provided by Piedmont Broadband, as well as the ability to stream various TV services and telework with confidence.

The kitchen at Four Fields Farm is spacious and well-equipped. There are plenty of pots and pans, dishes and silverware, as well as knives that are regularly sharpened. We provide towels, bed linens, paper products, coffee filters, trash bags, aluminum foil, sandwich bags, wax and parchment paper, food storage containers, simple soaps for both the bath and kitchen, and laundry facilities. There is seasoned oak firewood for the outdoor fire pit and wood stove. There is also a charcoal grill, with briquettes, chimney starter and newspaper on the lower level porch. There are recycling bins in the laundry room. We strive to provide all the basic items to manage the house.

If you want to hike, there is a variety of information in the bookcase in the foyer, including USGS topo maps, books, and every trail map published by the Shenandoah National Park in a three-ring binder. We also provide short descriptions on many of the local hiking trails, restaurants, wineries, and breweries.

Great spot!
We wanted a short getaway for part of spring break and Four Fields did not disappoint! The house was clean, well appointed and a great layout for our family. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Great location for hiking and skyline drive. We will definitely return.

Beautiful setting, comfortable and clean!
Our family of four had such a wonderful stay here! Doug is a fantastic host, went the extra mile with great communication and local suggestions. The house is well laid out, spacious and comfortable. Our dog loved the fenced in area and roaming the property. Our oldest son uses a wheelchair for mobility, and the main floor was perfectly accessible for him. The views are incredible and the setting is peaceful. Not far from Monticello and Shenandoah NP which were our 2 main destinations. Thanks so much for sharing your place and the hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Parsons

Host profile image
Doug is a friendly, conscientious host. He loves living in the mountains and sharing the beauty of Old Rag and Shenandoah National Park with friends and family. He grew up on an Oregon farm, where he raised fruits and vegetables to pay for college. An avid bicyclist, nature enthusiast, woodworker, and hiker, Doug is always willing to offer suggestions for the enjoyment of the natural beauty near Four Fields. A real Mr. Fixit, he keeps this home in tip-top condition. Doug goes extra lengths to support local businesses, including farm markets, local restaurants, wineries, and breweries, and he provides helpful information on the food and drink scene, as well as the best local hikes. Doug recently retired from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where has had a long and rewarding career to advance the safety of chemicals and pesticides. Improving and managing Four Fields is now his primary occupation. The work with EPA has given him a keen understanding of the importance of environmental stewardship and preserving natural environments.

Why they chose this property

Doug and his wife love the Etlan Valley, where they have lived for more than fifteen years in a home they designed and built. Doug recently purchased Four Fields Farm because of its beautiful views of Old Rag and neighboring peaks, as well as the fine qualities of the house and acreage. During retirement, Doug is now focusing on his steadfast management of Four Fields, and loves being able to work close to home. This is an upscale property, and with Doug living nearby, it is maintained with pride and care.

What makes this property unique

The house at Four Fields Farm sits on an elevated site overlooking wildflower-filled pastures, offering dramatic, wide-open views of Old Rag and neighboring ridges. If you want peace and beauty in a gentle, quiet valley, while enjoying all the comforts of a fine home--not too far from all kinds of attractions!--this is the place for you.
