Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Rappahannock County

We celebrated my wife's birthday with her parents and our dogs, and our weekend away at this house was everything we had hoped for. A fenced-in yard for our dogs who had an awesome time running around freely. Very private, no 'street noise', a beautiful view of pastures with cows and farm life as well as a great view of Old Rag. About 20 minutes from both downtown Sperryville and Madison, you're in your own world at this house unless you want to venture out and about. The WiFi was fairly weak, not a big deal to us because we had plenty planned and nothing dependent on internet access (other than getting directions to places because we didn't get a cell signal), but mentioning as if someone is planning on working remotely from this house, you may want to check with the host about internet strength. This was such a great trip and home, beautifully kept and the host was wonderful to communicate with. A beautiful part of Virginia that will have you wanting to come back as soon as you can.

Beautiful Victorian-style house with plenty of space inside to relax. There are cool objects/decorations/books everywhere you look! This airbnb was well-stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. The backyard and the front porch were picturesque and nice to relax. The location was unbeatable as it was very close to the Shenandoah national park entrance. Would absolutely return! 6 of us stayed — three couples — and we spent a night playing boardgames and enjoying the outdoors.

Wonderful weekend stay right on the river. Easy access to the hazel river, Shenandoah national park, as well as some short trails right on the property. Spectacular views from every window and multiple decks. It’s easy to sit and read a book while listening to the peaceful sounds. This property is beautiful with everything you need to feel right at home. It felt more like a home than a rental property. It was well decorated and somewhere you actually want to spend time vs drop your stuff and head out. We enjoyed our stay, and plan to return.

David’s home is the perfect space for getting away in the mountains. It is a short drive (~25 min) to Shenandoah National Park. The house itself is very cozy and well decorated. It had everything we needed and then some. Would love to come back!!

Lovely view of mountains and trees. Very peaceful and restful. We could actually understand how you can call it "whispering pines" when we heard the wind in the trees. The deck is spacious and has nice covered and uncovered seating. We enjoyed our coffee in morning and glass of wine at night there! Very comfortable home. Well stocked with lots of thoughtful touches! You can tell the hosts worked to ensure you had a comfortable stay! Bill and Stephanie (the hosts) live next door and introduced themselves early in our stay. Very friendly and helpful folks. It was nice to know they were nearby but you could not see them or any other neighbors' homes nor hear anyone at all. We were there in late April so did not need a AWD, there were a few miles of unpaved roads, but very manageable. I'd highly recommend!

Great Place. Good privacy with nice views. Close to some cool little towns like Sperryville and Little Washington not to mention all the wineries and such. Will book again.

The Sun Dancer Lodge has the most wonderful views! Not hard to find, yet so quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room and Darden was a responsive and helpful host! We'll look to come back next year!

One of the nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed in! It felt like we were in the most beautiful and upscale cabin-like getaway. All of the finishes, furniture, bedding, etc--were all top of the line! Plus the screened in porch felt like you were in a tree house, so restful and peaceful. The house in the country and in the woods, but Culpeper is less than 15 minutes away and has all the restaurants & shops you could ask for. Communicating with the owner was easy and delightful. 10/10 recommend this place!

Beautiful old farmhouse overlooking the vineyard. Only a couple minutes walk to the Muse Winery. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The power was out for a few hours the morning of our last day without communication until after it was back on. I'm assuming there is an electric well pump since water pressure dropped significantly during that time.

We loved our time at this peaceful property. It was nice to wake up and hear the farm animals nearby. My son loved being able to play basketball and use the pool. Everything was clean and comfortable. Thank you!

We LOVED our stay here. The airstream had everything we needed and was comfortable. Beautiful deck to spend time on. The property with beautiful trails was so lovely. It was like having a national park to ourselves. And having animals to see was an extra touch. Communication with the host was very good. We hope to stay again!

I planned to propose to my girlfriend over a romantic farm and Shenandoah getaway weekend. Andrea was very excited and helped make the weekend really special. The grounds were amazing and so beautiful with trails to take walks on and many animals to see. We brought our puppy and we had plenty of space to safely let him off leash to run around. He had as much fun as we did (and we got engaged!) Her restaurant recommendations were spot on, so definitely give those a try. We did the farm tour on the last day, and it was so personal, interactive and informative. Do not skip the tour!!! Andrea was so kind and generous with us. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Lynn's place was excellent! Everything was perfect, really. We felt so comfortable and well cared for from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. All of the amenities are A+. The furniture is luxurious and tasteful. We would return without hesitation if we ever find ourselves out that way again. Heather

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!

This is a lovely and homey cottage. Very beautiful courtyard, backyard and pool area. The hosts were friendly and very helpful with suggestions when our original excursion was cancelled. The kitchen was very nicely stocked and had everything we needed. The beds are very firm.

Girlfriend and I stayed for a night. Was a great representation of what the beautiful western Virginia/ Shenandoah valley has to offer. Had a nice fire with the free wood provided and couldn’t complain about anything. If you want a peaceful, scenic, and adventurous getaway this is a great option. Stopped by Luray caverns afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed the hidden side of Virginia. Thanks Stephen and Justin!

I have now had the pleasure of staying in all 4 of their properties. Each house is unique and you feel like you have stepped back in time. The exposed beams in the ceilings are my favorite parts of each house.

This was the perfect spot for our nature loving family! So peaceful and plenty of room for everyone. We kept a fire going in the beautiful fireplace and they provided us with plenty of wood. Close to Old Rag and spent an afternoon in Sperryville. We saw deer, hawks and Bald Eagles Would definitely recommend if you need a quiet private setting!

Absolutely gorgeous - seeing it in person blows the pictures out of the water, and a great way to get some peace. They have a nice long walking path that goes around - there was some troubles with ticks, but we just checked ourselves afterwards when we went out. We also tried the Pool and Spa, which is VERY much worth every penny.

Connie is a great host and the 6-person house in Castleton was a wonderful retreat, just what we were looking for. The house was as fantastic as the photos show. Be sure to see their additional 'Grounds' photos on their website. The hottub was hot, clean and worked great (even in winter). During our visit, the donkey, miniponies, goats and ze-donkey were fun to watch grazing in the fields in the field on the other side of the backyard fence. Stargazing was great at night. A bbq grill was on back deck, and a propane tabletop social 'firepit' which was great for morning coffee hangout. A woodstove (& everything I need to get it started) was in the living room. We walked the paved 4+ mile loop to see more of their animals.

The views and peace are unmatched. Enjoyed the paved path to walk dinner off too! Very clean, great jacuzzi tub inside and hot tub outside. Very close to SNP. Full kitchen was nice. Deer entertained us every morning . Loved it all.

Our girls weekend at Connie’s was everything we were looking for…and more! From the fire pit table to the hot tub, from the beautiful walking trails to the star gazing at night, it was the tranquil and peaceful environment we were looking for to get away, escape the business of life, and reconnect with each other and God! Connie was extremely responsive to any question I had while there (big or small). She was patient and helpful! 100% recommend this property and anything from Connie!!!

Wow! This cabin is wonderful. The view from the screened porch is unreal. The WIFI is fabulous, and the management team was super responsive. This is a great value for any family with access to the river, a wonderful firepit and everything you need in the kitchen. We loved the hot tub and realized this isn't a five - star stay; it is a ten-star property. Book this short-term rental today with confidence and enjoy the great outdoors in Bentonville, VA and the Shenandoah Valley.

Peter and Helen were just wonderful from start to finish. They made sure the cabin (which is so lovely, very homey and rustic) was ready for us complete with a book of things to do and intros to the area and their farm. There was a slight issue with another renter on the property, but Peter and Helen had it resolved in less than an hour (even though it was quite early in the morning). Within 15 mins of Sperryville and 40 mins of Shenandoah National Park, absolutely perfect.
