Heather B. May 13, 2024 01:03:18 AM
Summary: My husband and I spent a long weekend in the cottage. We enjoyed the animals on the farm. We also walked down to the river and took in those beautiful views. Being around the animals was good for the soul. I hope we can go back soon. The host was very communicative and helpful. 10 out of 10. Loved it all.
Rich C. Apr 22, 2024 03:23:52 AM
Summary: What a wonderful experience! Great location near the James River! The cottage was beautiful and equipped with everything needed. There is a multitude and large variety of rescue animals in the fenced in areas and roaming free on the property. We are already looking forward to our next stay!!
Carla E. Nov 21, 2023 01:00:11 PM
Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . If you like dogs it will be your choice. The tiny house was very nicely constructed. It’s small, so that’s a consideration. It was very clean and filled with all items you might need. The owners are doing a wonderful service to the animals and we were impressed by the green products that they used.
Jessica P. Aug 11, 2023 03:45:18 AM
Summary: We had the best time staying here for a few days. An absolutely beautiful property and the cottage is so cute and clean. Katie is a very attentive host and answered any questions I had really quickly. All of the animals are so fun and sweet. It’s just a short walk to river access and there’s tons to do in the Scottsville and Charlottesville area. I wouldn’t change a thing. We were so sad to leave and can’t wait to come back!
Cathy C. Jul 9, 2023 12:00:27 PM
Summary: Being able to live amongst so many happy healthy animals for just a couple days was a treat and a blast! Clean, comfortable and safe. Close to town. Wonderful hosts. We loved our stay
Vicki C. Jun 22, 2023 04:21:56 AM
Summary: Wonderful property full of animals - very well behaved! Lovely tiny house, very generous with snacks in the house. Jen & Katie so sweet, we met them on our way out because we never had to contact them during our stay since they had thought of everything we needed! We went kayaking on the James River with our 11 yr old grandson. And found a great Italian restaurant in Scottsville - Amici’s. Very peaceful time - the nature renews the spirit. Give yourself a treat and come to Valhalla Mountain Farm!
Dawn L. Mar 18, 2023 04:18:21 AM
Summary: If you ever wanted to know what country paradise is, this is a good example. What a nice little place to get away. It was clean and exactly what was needed.
