Our family of 7 had a wonderful long Labor Day weekend at the ranch! The home is very large and beautiful with many activities for everyone. We enjoyed the outside amenities and spent a lot of our time outdoors. The exercise room was wonderful, we enjoyed watching movies in the beautiful movie room together in the evenings, swimming in the giant pool, s’mores at the fire pit, grilling on the outdoor grill, star gazing from the hot tub, corn hole competitions by the pool, relaxing in the sauna with a gorgeous view, and so much more! And the sunsets - wow! Jessica was super responsive and generous and we couldn’t ask for a better host. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was wonderful for our family of 16 people ages 10-87. We love the Virginia countryside and appreciated the chance to just be there far from the bustle of metro DC. The few glitches we had were promptly addressed so we weren't inconvenienced. In all this is a beautiful getaway and we highly recommend it.

Wonderful house and stay for our family of adult children, partners, and grandkids. Great spaces to be together & also to have privacy away from the group.The pool & patio area are amazing with breathtaking views of the distant mountains.The location is a perfect combination of remoteness & accessibility.There are numerous attractions from Shenandoah National Park, Civil War battle fields, wineries, & restaurants.The host Jessica & cohosts Eric & Daniela were incredibly responsive. Best example:when we arrived we noticed that the air conditioning did not seem to be working on the second floor. We messaged the host & within minutes Eric came to the house & assessed the problem. He discovered that the condenser had suddenly died. He contacted Jessica & they immediately offered us the option of purchasing 5 stand up air conditioners for all of the bedrooms on the second floor.They purchased them & installed all of them by early evening.Problem averted! Highly recommend this home!

We stayed here for a quiet getaway for our large group (15 people). There was plenty of space and things to do for our long weekend. The host was responsive and helpful and great to work with. We had a great time!

Mama’s Ranch met all our expectations for a beautiful setting and gorgeous house. We spent a lot of time in the pool, took nature walks and caught all kinds of fish with our grandchildren in the main pond, and watched movies in the Theatre. We planned our menu in advance and did all our own cooking in the spacious kitchen. This place is special and we will be back.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful farm ranch! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property was peaceful, spacious, and full of charm—exactly what we were hoping for. Waking up to the sounds of nature, seeing animals roam, and enjoying sunsets over the fields was something special. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Whether you’re looking to unplug and relax or experience something a little different from the usual Airbnb, this place is a gem. We’ll definitely be back

The property was fantastic, clean with instructions and labels to find items. Host was fantastic to deal with. We had my wife’s 60th birthday party, my children wanted to come in early and decorate, host was very helpful and willing. They have a sona and a cold plunge, we asked if it could be ready on Saturday at 10:00am, host had folks come over and got it all ready explained it which made working with this group a pleasure. All in all this was one of the best units we have been in from the property to the hosts. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you for making my wife’s birthday weekend a memory which will last a lifetime. Ron
