Swoope House | Country Retreat, An Amateur Astronomer's Dream

3 Bedroom House in Swoope

Baldwin Farm is located in the central Shenandoah Valley, the house is a three-bedroom, two-bath modern country home framed with a large sitting porch looking out on the Alleghany mountains. It is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle.
The mattresses are brand new pillowtops with all new bedding so you can have a comfortable, restful sleep.
Pastoral setting. Outside Middlebrook, VA, the house is the center of a working farm. The property sits in a natural bowl with progressively rising hills culminating in the foothills of the nearby mountains. Mark the passage of time as the light descends the slopes in the morning and ascends later and finally gives way to the starry night after the sunset.
Contemplative. Sitting off a country road, quiet solitude with some country noise should be expected at Baldwin Farm. Get out, walk around the farm, and experience a simple, slower pace. Watch the cattle graze while looking out over pastureland framed by the mountains. On clear nights, enjoy a view of the starry night sky that one can only get in a relatively light free environment.
Meditative atmosphere. Sit on the large covered porch and listen to the wind chimes or gaze out the large picture window in the living room while contemplating the foothills of the Alleghany mountains, verdant in the spring and summertime, cloaked in color in the fall.

Summary: I don’t think the listing does this place justice. The home itself is what I would consider large with charming and comfortable decor. The living room and sitting room were perfect places to enjoy some sunshine and a book. The bed was comfy and the bathrooms and kitchen had everything you’d need.The scenery is what really makes the place. Sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous to watch and the night sky is so clear. There’s plenty of outdoor seating for humans to enjoy and a yard that had plenty of space for my two large dogs to run and play. The fencing is secure and around five feet tall.This will stay on our list of favorite getaways.

Summary: Peaceful, quiet, great for star gazing, bird watching and enjoying a cup coffee on the porch, an evening glass of wine and or a good game of Cribbage! The home is large with warm tones, very comfortable

Summary: Third Christmas visit. Our favorite VRBO - feels so good here. Wonderful hosts. Joys and glories of Mother Nature and of simple things fill our senses and bless our hearts. Love the large comfy house and rolling property and starlit sky and deer and wild turkeys and cows and birds and… stillness. Many thanks!

Summary: This was my 6th stay at the farm. The house is always welcoming and clean. The absolute quiet is my favorite part. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but you are only 15 minutes from Staunton.

Summary: Love this property! We have visited many times and it never disappoints. Very dog friendly with huge fenced area. So nice to arrive to find the best banana bread waiting along with eggs, milk, half and half and just about anything to get settled in. So much to do in the area…vineyards, antiques, fall festivals, orchards with the best apple cider doughnuts, downtown Staunton or just hanging on the porch looking at the mountains and cows!

Summary: This is house is amazing, the quiet and serene location was perfect for our girls weekend. The hosts were amazing, helping us with checking in and even left us cake - what a treat! The house was immaculate and felt so cozy and welcoming. There is a beautiful fenced in yard - though we didn’t have dogs with us they are extremely dog friendly and we would certainly book again and bring along or little fur babies! Perfect country stay!
