Nestled in the hillside of 130 acre Cedar Hill Alpaca Farm, the views from all windows are of rolling hills and grazing alpacas, horses and Guiseppe the donkey. Lovely and very cozy/but roomy comfortably furnished apartment. Quiet. Wake up listening to birds. Private. Beautifully decorated. Hope you like colors! Quiet and peaceful and close to Great Meadow Event Center. Bring a horse or alpacas and board them here if you'd like (additional fees apply). Basic Internet and DirectTV.

Quiet Retreat
Very nice place to stay that is generally convenient to several towns and eating places. Hosts were very nice and helpful and we enjoyed getting to know them and their animals. Look forward to returning.

A splendid birthday at Mary's Alpaca Farm
My family and I gathered for a few days at Mary's Alpaca Farm to celebrate a milestone birthday. The location was in proximity to some family in the area, which is how we serendipitously found this lovely property. It's about an hour drive from DCA and well worth the drive. Mary is a genuine pleasure to work with and know. The accommodations were terrific with beautiful art and furnishings throughout the cottage, pool house, and beyond. Everything we could ever need and more was on-hand. The grounds themselves were impeccable and gorgeous. Mary was the most engaged, hard working, and accommodating host I've ever worked with. She is one of a kind and extremely generous with her time and attention. The kids loved the Alpacas, the pool, and all the pets and animals around the farm. An incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience. Lucky we found it and I'll be surprised if we don't make it back sooner than later!

The escape we needed
The stay with Mary was incredible. It feels like it was a dream… everything was perfect, from checking in and touring the property to relaxing by the pool. We hope to escape to this magical place again very soon! We highly recommend and if you go, tell Peggy Betsy and Sunshine hello for us!

July 4th Escape from the City
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mary's alpaca farm. The cottage is well appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay as a family of four. We loved the location overlooking the horse pastures and my kids adored meeting all of the animals on the farm (alpacas, horses, cats, dogs and a cockatoo). We also loved Mary's pool and pool house, such a bonus to use those lovely facilities. Mary is a wonderful and gracious host and we cannot wait to visit again! As a Fourth of July bonus, we could also watch the Great Meadows fireworks from the cottage and didn't have to leave to experience a great fireworks show.

A Wonderful, Unique Experience!
We were fortunate enough to spend a couple of days at Mary's Alpaca Farm recently. Her property is beautiful; over 100 acres of green pastures, rolling hills, and of course, alpacas! Our family of four arrived on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted by Mary at her home. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we then followed her to the lovely guest house where we were staying. Mary's husband is an award-winning photographer and writer, and the home is decorated with the art and collectibles of his favorite subject, Africa. It was a visual feast! The couches and beds are very comfortable and the home well stocked with all the supplies and snacks one would need! And now for the best part: The animals! Mary allowed us inside the pen to interact with the alpacas and our daughter got the opportunity to bottle feed one of the babies who was rejected by its mother. We learned so much from Mary about these intelligent and docile animals. She even arranged for us to meet the donkey and two beautiful horses that live on her sister's property! There's also an adjacent shop where Mary sells the alpaca poop for fertilizer and beautiful clothing made from alpaca hair. We all can't thank Mary enough for her hospitality. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous farm stay property in great location!
Farm life at its best! Heaven on earth! We were greeted by Symba, Angel and Guissepe grazing freely in the front yard of the comfortable cottage. The views from the cottage were awesome and it was furnished and stylishly decorated with comfort in mind. Fascinating history, super experience! Mary was a superior host and is a special person full of positive energy. It was a treat to to meet Jay and to learn about his Safari adventures via the wonderful book he’d written. Wow is about the best single word to describe this adventure!

Amazing getaway!!
We had the most delightful stay on this magnificent property! Mary was such an awesome and charming host and the property is even prettier than pictured. We’ve stayed at many properties and this one was by far the best. The kids loved the pool, playing in the creek and loved waking up to the alpacas and horses every morning. We hiked Shenandoah National Park one day and also found a small family friendly zoo called zoofari one day. We definitely want to come back some time soon!
