We really enjoyed our stay! It was a unique property with so much history in it. The views were incredible! The drive can be a little daunting for those of us not used to it but we made it fine in a couple of mid size suvs.

Wonderful getaway

Our families with toddlers enjoyed a stay at this farm in West Virginia. House has its personality, with a great view on the surrounding hills. The owner is a very hospitable person. Kids were happy to feed the sheep, jump in a hay, walk in the hills. Nearby it is interesting to visit Beartown state park, Lost Worlds caves.

Beautiful and right in the middle of caving counrty!

If you're into caving and are looking for a place to stay while in WV this is it. Its a beautiful farm that is peaceful and quiet. And it sits directly over the Friars Hole cave system. Just make sure you bring your food with you because its a long haul to the nearest supermarket!

Unique and Delightful Experience

This is a working sheep farm in a spectacular long north/south running valley framed by mountain ridges to the east and west. The house, with magnificent woodwork and attention to detail, was built by the owner over 40 years ago. The owner moves to a little cottage while you occupy his home. He is an eminently graceful host and knowledgeable about the many activities in the greater area. I was content to sitting on the porch absorbing the sights, sounds, and fresh air of true countryside.

Beautiful secluded corner of the world!

My boyfriend and I came to stay at Dans little corner of the world for a weekend getaway to disconnect from our busy and demanding lives. We were able to do just that! We were completely secluded with beautiful scenery, natures sounds, and Dans absolutely beautiful custom built home. We are so grateful he has decided to open his home and share a piece of it with others so that they too can enjoy the beauty and peace. Dan was available on the property the whole time and very kind, even offering us to pick kale and lettuce from his personal garden to enjoy! While he was there on the property, his presence wasn’t an issue and his hospitality is unmatched! If you’re looking to truly disconnect I highly recommend Dans place, while there is internet available, we chose to not utilize it and really just enjoy. There were MANY deer and beautiful birds all day everyday on the property which we enjoyed. The only thing I would change is having a lock on the door in the dining room (not that it’s necessarily needed due to seclusion), those not accustomed to staying out in a secluded area may feel more at ease being able to lock up during sleeping hours. Other than just the “peace of mind” with locks, it was a dream and very accommodating. Thanks again for opening your home to us and your superior hospitality, we needed the trip more than we knew!

Take The Road Less Traveled!

I was on my way back from Florida and wanted to take break and stop somewhere different. I looked around and found this amazing place and home. So special! This review is a tad long, but for anyone who has looked at this listing and has been hesitant to maybe step outside the box.....I wanted to be detailed enough to put your mind at ease. I can say with 100% honesty that I am SO GLAD I stayed at Dan’s absolutely breathtaking house on his sheep farm. Dan was incredibly helpful with things to do, the area and of course, HIS SHEEP! We fed them together, I named one, and just enjoyed watching them do their thing around the pastures. The lambs were so adorable! Dan stays overnight in a separate home down below the guest house. He does come up to the house (which is where he lives when no guests) during the day, and goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. The house is big and very cozy with a wood burning stove for heat that Dan takes care of for his guests, and has an incredibly large library of books of any topic. The house is well-loved, and holds a lot of interesting things. There are 2 bathrooms but only 1 shower. The other bathroom is for tub-baths only. The house was absolutely sparkling clean, the floors, windows and the bathrooms. The beds are quite comfy, and the views are just so beautiful. If your stay includes a rainy forecast, bring boots/shoes that can get muddy, and that you can leave on the porch as you come and go. This trip renewed our faith that there is still so much countryside, adventure, nature and peacefulness very close by. It is rustic..... in so many good ways, so don’t be hesitant to give it a try. And don’t hesitant to ask Dan for anything you might need.

The peace and quiet you crave

this place was out in the middle of nowhere but was amazing. It was so quiet you could hear your ears ringing. the sky was clear and beautiful we saw shooting stars, the milky way and just beautiful night sky. if your in to books this is a place to explore. the owner had to have thousands of books and they were all well organized. some of the books were published in the early 1900’s. the host was very friendly and I am assuming that he put a lot of love into building this home. The only drawbacks I had was that the beds were not very comfortable and the living room furniture is very worn. this place is really out by itself but was so peaceful and actually forced our family to communicate and spend quality time together. I would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location and farm

It was a beautiful farm off grid. Overall Daniel was great communicating the expectations and check in. The house was rustic and charming; but could use a deep cleaning.and ventilation. We went end of June and the house was very hot by the end of the day. So it was dusty and stuffy. The tiny desk fans were not enough to cool us down. But then again this a farm and creature comforts are not the highlight. All that said the picturesque window , swallows, lightning bugs and sheep were beautiful to wake up to. Aidan the house cat was very friendly. Beartown boardwalk and cranberry glades are 25 and 45 minutes away and beautiful walks on the boardwalk and the falls hills creek hike.

Peaceful remote farm place for family & friends gathering

Such a lovely place with lot of memory (host’s life) in every bit of the house. It will take you hours just to see everything in the house and trust me it will be like a rustic museum in a good way. We had a another tiny host ( Aiden the cat ) who also welcomed and stayed with us without any trouble. Dan helped us with everything and you ll realise how good he is once you meet him. We loved the sheep and when we went it was a winter wonderland and we were sledding in the slopes and having fun like kids. Just make sure you have a 4WD since the very last lane of the road is very steep and rugged. And you might want to download offline map since there will not be any service. And last but not the least please respect this place because this man has built a legacy of his life and we appreciate he is letting people to enjoy it a bit with these stays. Note: The water from kitchecn tap is amazing 😍 … we were hestitate at first and loved drinking it . I even filled a gallon of it in my bottle for travel back.

Authentic Experience

My family and I have stayed in many vacation homes with some missing the mark while others exceed it. This is a different experience—Dan opens his home, full of character and personality, to allow you a peek into a different way of life, complete with your own support from someone so accommodating and knowledgeable. Come for the escape from the façade of busyness, and take the time here to recognize the different world turning in these hills. Perhaps even leave with a friend in Dan and Sparky. The home had everything we needed. No televisions and limited cell phone access was a nice reprieve and encouraged us to explore the home’s impressive collection of books and take in much of the moments. Beds were comfortable and I feel a silly pride of self-sufficiency in tending to the wood fireplace to the extent that we did. Dan even made us feel “helpful” in our sheep involvement, though I’m fairly certain our participation was purely limited to fascination. Looking forward to future trips!

Peaceful, perfect location in the Mountains.

Six of us stayed on Dan's Farm during an ADV (Adventure) Motorcycle trip. We rode a few sections of the local Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route which passed by about 30 min from the farm. The grounds and capacity helped us decide on the location and it did not disappoint. Dan was a great host. We found everything we needed in the house. If we find ourselves traveling to the area again I would not hesitate to stay here again. Definitely a centralized point to some awesome riding (suited for ADV riders). House has enough room to fit decent size groups. Dan is an extremely knowledgeable man and it shows with the mountain of books around the place. The house is a perfect hang out, wind down after some extreme riding nearby.

We stayed with our two little kids on this beautiful enchanting farm for a week and really enjoyed our time.

Second Time at Dan’s Farm

This was my second time staying at Dan’s farm. Each time, I visited with a different group of 4-5 friends. If you are looking for a beautiful, remote, quiet trip, this sheep farm is an incredible option. Located in the mountains of West Virginia, the farm feels far from the outside world, but provides a great background for long walks, sleeping in, cooking, warm baths, board games, and reading. The land around the home is vast and free to explore — my friends interested in birdwatching especially enjoyed walks in the area. Otherwise, my favorite parts are the beautiful kitchen and dining area as well as the porch that look over the hills of the area. Dan is a more than hospitable host whose home provides so much comfort. This was my second visit here, but certainly not my last.

This is a beautiful property! You can see many stars at night in the sky! The sheep are friendly! I thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside at the side of the house overlooking a pasture and up the mountain. A great place to get away! Daniel has very old items that he could open a museum with. The house was very homey and beautiful. I will say that you may think that you’re lost when you’re driving to the back of the hollow but never fear, you will find it! Thank you Daniel for your hospitality and welcoming us into your home!

Wonderful!!

Thank you, Dan, for an "almost heaven" West Virginia experience! We have stayed at many VRBOs, airBnBs, and farm stays and Dan's property ranks among the top. The sheep, the stars, the landscape, the incredible Dan-built home, Aiden the Cat, the peaceful quiet... it was tough to leave. A truly memorable, home-like stay, like visiting a family member. Some tips for future guests: ~ follow Dan's advice and follow his directions, not GPS. best to print or take a pic of the directions, because you will lose reception once you're off the main roads. "turn left at 'pigs 4 sale'":) ~ the lovely country roads to his property can be daunting the first time through - we rec trying to arrive during daylight hours. Turkey Trail might not seem drivable the first time you see it, but it is! We managed with a minivan just fine. ~ wifi was strong enough in the house for basic web searching, but not for streaming. download any movies/shows you might want before arriving. ~ Greenbank Observatory was a beautiful drive and VERY cool. We also had a ball rafting New River with West Virginia Adventures. Lost Caverns was a hit with the kids, lots of "whoas!" If you're on the fence - book it! You'll be so happy you did!

Amazing destination

Our family of 4 adults and a toddler had an amazing long weekend at Dan’s home in WV. The views from the huge porch and solarium were beautiful on the Fall weekend. The house is truly an incredible “home” that Dan shares with his guests; it’s beautiful inside and out. Even when the temperatures were below freezing at night the house was very comfortable. We felt no need to leave the property and cooked in the fully appointed kitchen (and yes the oven worked fine). If you are looking for a cookie cutter property this is not the place but if you want an incredibly amazing destination Dan’s place is the perfect spot! Dan was a great host, he walked us through the uniqueness of the house, the property and the scenic options in the area. We had several wonderful conversations and look forward to continuing these on what I’m sure will be future visits. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
