Mountain serenity!!!

The Garden Shed at Ward Manor is nestled on this 300 acre Bicentennial Farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia . Guests are encouraged to hike to the top of our mountain, splash in the waterfalls, slip away from reality in our creek side hammocks, or fish-swim in our 2 acre pond. Fauna and flora and star filled nights are abundant at Ward Manor. It is our pleasure to share them our guests.

Perfection -
Michael and Matthew are fantastic, the cabin was perfect, the views are absolutely breathtaking. Everything about this visit exceeded our expectations. The pictures online do not do this place any justice. You must see it to believe. We cannot wait to come back. :)

Perfection!
My spouse and I absolutely loved our visit to Ward Mannor. The hosts were amazing and responsive. The Garden Shed was tidy, well equipped and had comfortable beds. The grounds were beautiful and quiet. The perfect place to relax and restore. Cannot wait to return!

A piece of heaven
This was one of the most beautiful places I've had the pleasure to stay. The hosts were wonderful and very communicative. After seeing the pictures in the listing I requested to take family pictures on the property and I'm so glad I did because the farm was a perfect backdrop. My kids loved watching the animals, petting the donkey and playing in the waterfall. I hope we can make it back soon.

The renovated Garden Shed at the Manor is wonderful! It has a very comfortable bed, plenty of space, a fully stocked kitchen, and lots of windows for beautiful views. We loved seeing the cows and the donkey everyday, and really enjoyed hiking the mountain. It was a relaxing and refreshing getaway. We highly recommend.

A touch of heaven
The MOST beautiful property and quaint cottage nestled among mountains and farmland. A sparkling creek runs through the meadows, cattle gaze at you on your walks, a lovely pond with a path around, a gazebo to take it all in and a covered shelter with two hammocks are all available to enjoy. We LOVED it! The pup and the donkey became our buddies too ♥️ we hope to visit annually and be refreshed!

Peaceful Get Away
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is decorated beautifully and the perfect place for a get away. The location is great if you want to enjoy the quiet. We were unable to enjoy any of the farm because of commitments with the wedding we were there for, but I would love to go back when I have more time to relax and enjoy my surroundings.

Storybook worthy!!
I was in charge of booking a place to stay for a friends wedding in the area. I didn’t put too much effort into looking as we were just there for two nights. This property looked nice and was close to the venue. I don’t know how we got so lucky…My husband and I were SO blown away when we arrived to the rental. I kept saying “is this real”!! We will certainly be back. It was truly a story book worthy farm. HIGHLY recommend! The hosts were unbelievably lovely as well.

Wish I Lived Here
I loved this place and so did my husband. The cottage is spacious for two and the bed is comfortable. We loved the vibe it had, it bit rustic, a bit modern. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and so pastoral, literally. Cows are grazing on the hillside and a friendly donkey comes to greet you everyday. Communication with Michael is easy. If you are a coffee lover, I'd recommend a drive to Sparta. There is a great coffee shop and cafe there. We hope we will be able to return soon. Almost all the pictures I took on this anniversary trip where at the beautiful farm!
