Nestled in the heart of Chevy Chase farm, Sunflower Cottage offers a serene and quintessentially rural retreat that is a rarity in today’s fast-paced world. From the moment of arrival, the environment embraces you with tranquility and the kind of silence that allows the mind to wander and the soul to rest. The cottage is adjacent to a pasture home to Marshall, a friendly horse whose greetings add a unique and delightful touch to the experience. His presence embodies the connection with nature that the cottage fosters. The interior of Sunflower Cottage brings to life what one imagines of a rural haven: simple, cozy, and imbued with the charm of countryside living. It is well-equipped for comfort without losing the rustic feel that city dwellers seek in a countryside escape. However, the true gem of this property lies in its backyard, which is thoughtfully designed with a firewood grill and fire pit. This setup invites guests to indulge in the simple pleasure of a barbecue under the stars, turning meals into memorable moments. A special mention must go to Joan, who provides an exceptional add-on to the stay with her offer of ground beef and New York strips. Barbecuing this high-quality, locally sourced meat enhances the outdoor experience, making it fresh, delicious, and utterly satisfying. The clear night sky, dotted with stars, serves as the perfect backdrop for such an evening, adding to the cottage’s charm. For those who need to stay connected, the cottage’s internet is surprisingly fast, ensuring that online meetings can proceed without a hitch. This modern convenience blends seamlessly with the rustic charm, offering the best of both worlds. A short walk from the cottage, the farm next door is a delightful exploration ground. It’s well-maintained and home to a variety of animals, including dogs, cows, and pigs. This proximity to farm life enriches the stay, offering insights into the beauty and organization of farm life. However, potential visitors should note the remote location of Sunflower Cottage. The nearest supermarket is a 20-minute drive away, making it essential to plan and bring necessary supplies. This remoteness is a double-edged sword, offering unparalleled peace and quiet but requiring a bit of extra planning for provisions. In conclusion, Sunflower Cottage at Chevy Chase farm is a highly recommended escape for anyone passing through or seeking a peaceful retreat. Its blend of rustic charm, modern conveniences, and unique experiences, like dining under the stars and meeting Marshall, make it a memorable stay. Just be sure to come prepared, and you’re guaranteed to have a rejuvenating experience.
We arrived in Palmyra, Virginia, for an invitation to a wedding. wow!! This farm is incredible, if what you are looking for is to disconnect from the hustle and bustle for a few days, this is the perfect place. There are several vacation homes. Ours was incredible, with two exterior porches, a nice and comfortable living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, without missing a detail, as well as impeccably clean (the whole house) A beautiful patio with a fire pit and grill where we enjoyed of beautiful sunsets. In the mornings we walked through those hills, where we saw cows, horses, pigs, chickens and the vegetable garden. When we arrived we had some complimentary eggs and tomatoes in the fridge and of course we made a small order of ground beef for our burgers. Delicious meat. It is perfect for a family or romantic vacation, and children will enjoy the fresh air here. We will certainly return.
I will begin with light and positivity. The farm is beautiful. If you are left to enjoy it, it can be a peaceful Oasis. However, as this is being used as an AirBnb, the hosting is HORRIBLE. I booked here because I was going to be spending my birthday weekend going to my dad's funeral. My family was met with nothing but weird paranoia and baffling rudeness. We left a day early and booked a hotel because they caused so much anxiety. We were accused of things when we were just minding our business and we left the place pristine. We do not even know who the host really is because we got phone calls from different people. I found out later that other's have had similar run ends, they just didn't say anything. (that sure would have helped me not book)I won't go into details, I feel like the universe takes care of what it needs to. Just beware if your intention is to stay there.
Beautiful flower plants and hanging baskets. Will go to next year. Very good prices.
Phenomenal prices, incredible quality. Better than any grocery store in the world.
We absolutely loved our stay at the sunflower cottage! The farm is so beautiful and was very Dog friendly. We drove around and got to see the pigs, cows, and horses which were all so cute. The best part was being able to place an order for their grass fed meats and produce that was delivered to the air bnb! We cooked the rib eyes one night and they were some of the best steaks we have ever had. We are taking some home! We plan to come back and stay longer next time. The town over Scottsville was so cute as well to explore.
