Come enjoy the perfect retreat for families, couples or anyone looking for fun, rest and relaxation among a quiet, breath-taking location. This revived historic farmland is an icon in the area. Located just 30 miles outside of Washington DC, features a grand Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and lots of modern amenities. The grounds feature a petting zoo, clubhouse, barns, a private pond for fishing, a beautiful pool area, a brick courtyard with outdoor fireplace, garden, and more.
This unique farmstay on a 20-acre working farm features use of an all brick Victorian-style home that includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms that accommodate several guests comfortably with a great deal of privacy.
Guests will share the 20-acre farm resort grounds with other visitors and staff but will have exclusive use of the home, pool, and patio are included with this booking. If you are interested in exclusive use of the entire resort, please inquire.
All beds are king or queen beds. Enjoy modern amenities including TV, wifi and ethernet internet, a business center. There is a dining room with a huge table that seats 14 people. The home boasts a modern chic feel contrasted with a rustic flavor that makes for a very unique interior design experience. You’ll easily forget you are staying on a farm because we spared no expense in making the decor very interesting.
We have a salt water inground pool and attached whirlpool open 24/7 from mid-May to September (weather permitting). The pool area features two large cabanas with mosquito nets, furnishing, and privacy curtains. The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs and pool toys. Don’t be surprised if an alpaca walks up to the pool fence to check on you. We designed our pasture area to circle the home so that guests can enjoy views of them through the windows. It’s pure bliss seeing them.
The home is wonderful but it is actually the least awesome feature of our farmstay resort. What everyone loves most about this farm are the animals, outdoor area, and the rural peaceful vibe. Locals and tourists alike adore this property as it has such a unique and beautiful layout.
The visual beauty of the property is not where the experience ends. Wait until you meet our herd of alpacas, mini-cow, mini-donkeys, emus, bunnies, exotic breed chickens, ducks, geese, wild birds, and a livestock guardian dog. Animal lovers won’t want to leave.
You can book a formal farm tour to hear the story of how Charity’s Hope Family Farm came to be. Every animal has a story as most of them were rescues. Our family has a story. This area is rich in history. More importantly, the area has a bright future as new people discover the joys of new-age farming and welcome the much-needed innovation in the agricultural industry called agritourism.
Book this home to create lasting memories with your friends, family, colleagues, or organization. You won’t regret it.
