The Play Garden is a charming renovated country home nestled on 20 acres in the heart of Horse/Hunt country at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in historic Clarke County, Virginia. From the large veranda on top of the plateau you have the best view in the county of the bending Shenandoah River and there are up to 150 boxwoods of all varieties on the property.

In addition to the view there is a swimming pool and total privacy from the outside world, with basically no houses in view.

Summary: The gathering was 8 college girlfriends for an annual Christmas get together weekend and we had a fantastic time. House was very clean and well appointed, warm and cozy for some cold weather and Will and Ricky most helpful and responsive to all our needs. Close to town for Holiday activities and beautiful , natural setting nice for long walks and sitting on the porch looking at the Shenandoah.

Summary: Family fun, tubing and kayaking on the river. Spending time with our son and daughter in law from NC and our newest grand baby, and my family in Northern Virginia. The home is very comfortable and offers many areas to sit and chat. Groceries are close and goumet meals and foods and wines just around the corner. Safe gravel road to run or walk on. Winchester is very close and many farm to table restaurants and wineries can be found thorough out the Piedmont area of Virginia and surroundings towns. We enjoyed the cool breezes on the veranda watching the river run and eagles fly and hearing our 8 month old grand daughter giggle. A wonderful home to make memorable times with our family.

Summary: The pictures don’t do this wonderful place justice. The house has everything you need and the views/grounds are breathtaking. We were able to see 3 eagles soar over the river from the kitchen table. Totally recommend!

Summary: We absolutely LOVED our stay at the historic “Play Garden”, a house with great character and charm. Every summer my husband and I spend a week with my sister in law and brother in law to reconnect. We’ve rented many beautiful historic houses but this magical place is very special … just lovely, it truly was like staying at a friend’s house. Everything we needed was there: pans, dishes, glassware, spices, oils, tableclothes, great bed linens & towels, a brand new grill, kayaks and bikes, and the pool! Our favorite activity was to relax and dine on the front porch/veranda overlooking the bend in the Shenandoah River. The owner, Will, and caretaker, Ricky, were both very accessible via text and phone. This is a very well appointed historic house.
