Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
This beautiful farmhouse is a perfect place to stay for a relaxing vacation with a gorgeous mountain view from the deck! The hot tub is a great place to relax after a day exploring the farm and gathering around the firepit is a great way to end the day. Come explore the farm and stay in this relaxing home!

The space
There are three bedrooms (four beds total) and three bathrooms. There is a big kitchen and breakfast bar and comfortable gathering areas both upstairs and downstairs.

The downstairs living room has a tv for watching movies on DVDs, games, large comfortable couch, and gas fireplace.

The washer and dryer are located in the garage for your use - please be aware that our Property Manager also uses them to do the laundry but mainly during weekdays (separate outside entrance)

There is a charcoal grill located next to the fire pit and we sell charcoal at the Farm Store.

Pets are welcome! There is a pet fee so please let us know if you plan to bring your furry friends!

We provide enough firewood for your first fire in the firepit! Guests are welcome to look for more firewood in the woods if you need additional firewood (please only use wood that is already on the ground).

Guest access
Altamont Farm is a 500 acre historic working farm. Surrounded by beautiful mountain and river views, this farm is home to a variety of animals including Highland cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and horses! You are welcome to explore the farm (including more than 10 miles of trails and great fishing on the James River) and relax in this peaceful corner of nature.

We have a variety of animals on the farm and each has a unique diet. We ask guests to please not feed any of the animals without first checking with us as improper feeding (too much, wrong type, etc) can lead to health problems for the animals. Thank you!

Find us on IG (@altamontfarm) and FB (Altamont Farms) to see pictures and updates from the farm!

Produce, eggs, and meat are available for purchase at the farm store (selection depends on seasonal availability) and you can also purchase meals and order special meals/desserts from the farm store! If you would like more information about the farm store, please reach out to us!

Other things to note
• The Main Farmhouse is conveniently located close to the farm store and near most of the animals at Altamont Farm.

The Farm is also an Airbnb Experience for Horseback riding (experience riders) and lessons (inexperienced). We have 5 trail horses and come by to see them or reach out if interested in scheduling time with them and our trainer.
