Kitchen fully equipped. Host constantly in contact to help. Book available for local activities. Remember that this is a farm. You will have a full farm experience. Enjoy it.
We had a lovely stay at the farm! The apartment was so warm and cozy (on some cold winter days!) and we loved seeing all the farm animals! Such a peaceful but convenient location, with just a quick drive to JMU and local cave tours. We'd love to come back again!
The hosts are very welcoming, quick to respond, and made our stay so relaxing! The animals were so sweet and friendly (tip: bring apples and carrots to win them over). The apartment was adorably decorated and very comfortable. We were able to easily cook breakfast on the kitchenette and would highly recommend this getaway!
This was definitely a wonderful little gem. The place was so beautiful and the animals were a joy to see. The owners are very sweet and friendly. It makes you feel like you are on a little getaway. The unique little barn loft was a delight to stay at. Would definitely go back.
Perfect for me, my wife and 5 lb dog. All three of us enjoyed ourselves - 3 nights. Second visit here this year. We love animals and “Gabe’s Getaway” has “farm charm” and more animal fun than anywhere we have visited. From Wilbur the guard cat to all the ducks, hens, roasters, goats, sheep, horses, pigs, Huacsya alpacas, and squirrels, dogs, fish,
Valerie & Brad are simply the best! We very much enjoyed our stay along with our pup. We will be sure to return. The place is cozy and very peaceful. Thank you and see you next time.
Perfect pet-friendly place for me and my wife and little dog. Really comfortable - fun farm - no worries - beautiful rural setting. Already planning another visit. Like animals? Love this place! Near town - good food - mountains east or west. Thoughtful attentive host.
Great place to stay. Caught a couple good sized fish in the pond, including the 26” catfish which was a surprise. Great place to set up shop for hiking or fishing in the area. A little tight for 4 people, but if you are renting it to stay inside the whole time you are missing out.
