The space The house is situated on a 70 acre farm that traces its roots back to the 1780's and listed on the Virginia Department of Historic Landmarks. The property is also a wedding and event venue. Our goal is to give guests a unique experience with plenty of room to explore, relax and enjoy the environment of rural Virginia with the amenities of modern living. We offer 4 kayaks that are available during your stay and a free drop off and pick up with a two night stay. The South Fork of the Shenandoah river is one of the streams listed in the book “50 places to flyfish before you die”. The Shenandoah is famous for its smallmouth fishing but it also has a variety of different warmwater species including several species of sunfish, rockbass, catfish, carp, largemouth bass and even muskies. One of the major challenges of wading the upper river is gaining access to wadable water as the river flows mainly through private land. The majority of public access points are at state owned boat landings and are located in deeper pools where wading often isn't an option. Our property offers access to over half a mile of private access shoreline that under normal water levels is one of the best wadable sections of water in the upper river. Once you're in the river, it opens the door to well over another 1⁄2 mile of very wadable water. If you're a kayaker , the Island Ford boat ramp is three miles upstream of us and the Elkton landing is four miles downstream. Both of these floats make for a great 1⁄2 day float. For anglers looking for a guided trip, we work closely with Mossy Creek Fly Fishing, located in Harrisonburg, Va. Not only are they the top flyfishing guide service in Virginia for trout, smallmouth and muskies but they also welcome spin anglers on our river floats. All equipment and tackle are included along with drinks and lunch. Guest access As a guest you will have full access to all areas of the property, the only exception is if we are also hosting a wedding. The house itself has a large back yard with an additional acre behind and large horse stable that is unavailable to guests. Other things to note Please be aware that we are in an active farming community and we ask that you respect our neighbors livelihoods and do not trespass, destroy or take crops, or harass livestock.
