Peaceful, safe and magical are just a few words guests use to describe our farm. It's the perfect retreat to relax and reconnect with yourself and nature. We’re 420 friendly and accept multiple night stays. Enjoy exploring the farm, spending time with our animals and stargazing by the firepit. We invite you to soak in all the goodness the farm has to offer. Please let us know if you're bringing dogs or cats and plan to stay more than one night. We're a non-profit and rely on donations to take care of our animals. If you plan to stay with us, please make a donation.

We felt as if the animals were watching over us. The whole farm just emanates contagious love and the property is breathtaking. The combination of the two just heals your soul. We felt really lucky to be there." -Shane Wynn, Guest ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We love the beauty and spirit of our farm so much that we want to share it with people who appreciate a peaceful vibe. You'll find that we are very relaxed, inclusive and welcome guests to enjoy the farm for all it has to offer. Spend as much time with the animals as you'd like - many free range so they'll visit you. We're located in historic Scottsville Virginia (the heart of Virginia’s Monticello Wine Region). Seated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the 25 acre farm is home to many domestic, farm and wild animals. The lush green rolling pastures offer exquisite views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and direct access to the James River. It truly is a serene private paradise. Our focus at the farm is two-fold. Promote agri-ecotourism and support our sister non-profit, Gentle Moon Conservancy. The mission of Gentle Moon is to provide lifetime care and shelter for animals in-need and inspire environmental stewardship through the power of individual action. We are a working farm and have livestock guardian dogs who free roam guarding the farm. River, Ben, and Huck are very friendly and will likely greet you when you first get here. They work at night so don’t be surprised if you hear them sounding off in the shadows protecting the farm from critters. Safety and privacy is very important to us. The farm gate is locked overnight and reopened early in the morning. We will provide guests the gate code when needed. Please let us know when you book that you're bringing dog/s. Most of the animals on the farm roam free so you'll be greeted by a few Great Pyrenees (livestock guardian dogs), barn cats, geese, goats, chickens, turkeys and peacocks. Please be mindful of this if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs and animals. Please don't bring your dog/s if they are high-strung, overly sensitive, aggressive, or not trained. Our livestock guardian dogs are hard-wired to protect so if they sense an uncomfortable vibe from another dog, it will make them uncomfortable and they need to be focused on doing their jobs. Your dogs are welcome to be off-leash as long as they won't chase or harm people or the farm animals. Please pick up after your dog.
