About this property
Elegant Cottage on 600 Acre Horse & Livestock Farm
Wolftrap Farm features seven vacation rental homes, with the conversion of this 1940's era tenant cottage. Built as on-site housing for a "milker" when the farm was a dairy, this cottage is classic. Our 2015 renovation added a second bath and a screened porch for outdoor dining, with views of three adjoining horse paddocks. Guests have access to our fish-filled ponds, a swimming hole in our creek, endless woodland trails, a "play barn" with pool, ping-pong, Foosball, corn-hole, etc. Great for young families (bring the dog), girls' getaways, multiple generations, wine touring, visits to Monticello, Montpelier and UVA. (NOTE: vrbo classifies the Milker's Cottage as 3 bedrooms because of the sleeper sofa in the living room. It in fact has only two proper bedrooms, plus the sleeper sofa in the living room.)
Newsflash: We have added a Party Patio that can be booked by the hour, where you can enjoy a large Hot Tub, corn hole and other games. If you think you may be interested, pack your bathing suits and contact the owner to reserve your time (90 minutes per day for each day you stay, first come-first served.).
The Milker's Cottage is far from the sounds of traffic, but only a mile off U.S. Highway 15, making for easy excursions for sightseeing and shopping. We are halfway between Gordonsville and Orange, so you have your choice of quaint village or County Seat, each less than 5 miles away. Each has abundant restaurants, quaint shops, museums and all modern amenities.
The drive to Monticello through Keswick and Shadwell is one of the most scenic drives in America. Montpelier is just 15 minutes away, directly across the mountains you see from the front of the farm.
Barboursville, Horton, Keswick and Honna Lee Wineries are all within 20 minutes drive, and Early Mountain is 30 minutes away.
Other Drive Times: Charlottesville (25 minutes); Culpeper (30 minutes); Monticello (35 minutes); Gordonsville or Orange (5 minutes); Montpelier (15 minutes); Richmond (60 minutes); D.C. (100 miles)
But why leave the farm? There is endless hiking on the farm, all the fish you can catch, fire-pit in the back yard (firewood supplied), horses to watch and pet, plenty of peace and quiet, and room for the kids (and the dog) to run.

About the host
Hosted by Keith Cuthrell
I am the nut flying through the air in the picture, with most of my family in the background. My wife and I have bought and renovated many run-down properties over the years, not the least of which was Wolftrap Farm. We live in Virginia Beach as "retirees", but stay busy managing the farm and other family businesses. The farm is a labor of love, and you will see why when you visit. It is glorious to have stewardship of this "little piece of heaven", as so many of our guests have characterized it.
Why they chose this property
In 2003, I was looking for 5 acres and a cabin in the mountains, and I overshot. The farm was a wreck, but the landscape was magnificent. The Charlottesville area is just wonderful.
What makes this property unique
The land itself, with the rolling hills, vast pastures, views of the mountains, hardwood forests, vast scale, streams and ponds, and proximity to modern amenities, is what sold us on this farm. Then we discovered that several of the houses and barns pre-dated the Civil War. It has been pure fun to renovate each of the houses and furnish them for our guests.
