About this property

Relax and enjoy the countryside! Historic 1796 Farm has a guest house nestled in the rolling hills of Northern Virginia. This quaint cottage was formerly a school house located in Hillsboro, Virginia. In the early 1900's, this building was pulled 11 miles by mule to its current location. It now sits in a neighborhood surrounded by horse farms and mountain views.
Guests have access to the whole property. Take in the fresh air and country views! Enjoy our stone patio for coffee/tea or have wine at sunset!

Peace and Quiet

I just arrived back home following a wonderful stay at this perfect getaway! Everything was absolutely wonderful! The bed was very comfortable and the home was perfectly appointed. Dinner at Market Bistro is a must! I will definitely be back to this perfect home! If you get the chance, pet the dogs! They are so sweet!!

Rural charm

Out in the country on a small road, yet within easy travel times of wonderful food, history, and culture. We prepared a lot of our meals on-site with food purchased at the local co-op grocery store. Attentive but not intrusive hosts.

Quaint Country Cottage

I was in the area for a training and wanted a quiet stay close to Hope Flower Farm. My expectations were exceeded. This is a beautiful property in a charming neighborhood. I saw deer, goats, and alpacas on my daily drive :) I didn’t come across my hosts but they had everything perfect for me. They even kept the light on for me when my flight was canceled and I had to shift plans. I could not recommend this place enough. I hope to come back in the future! ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ann Winner

We have been residents of this historic property for 10 years. Dan is a general contractor specializing in historic rehabilitations. As an interior designer, Dan and I have worked together to design and sell many historic properties. Once our family started to grow, we spent 2 years looking for an ideal farm and community to raise our 4 children. We knew our search was over when we stumbled upon this 200 year old farm nestled in the hills of Virginia.
