Charming Farmhouse for a Family

We had an amazing stay at this beautifully restored farmhouse! The perfect blend of history and modern comforts made it a truly special experience. The views were breathtaking, and we loved seeing the cows—it added such a charming touch. This home was the ideal retreat for our family. Everything was thoughtfully designed, welcoming, and comfortable. We’re so grateful to have found this place and hope to return someday!

Buds House

The property is beautiful. It was the perfect amount of simplicity for our family. Our family of 8 was comfortable and loved everything about this house. We wanted for nothing. It was fully stocked with everything you needed. The owner was so welcoming it felt like home as soon as we walked in. We will be back!

Wonderful place for a reunion with our adult kids and pups

We traveled X-country from TX to meet up with our adult daughter & her partner, who traveled down from NJ, and we decided that western Virginia was a good place to hold our reunion just before Christmas. We were lucky to find Bud's Place. It is a lovely home, nicely decorated for Christmas, & there were plenty of spaces for us to be together to eat, play, or hang out, as well as places for us to retreat to for some privacy or work. Since the weather was so cold while we were there, we hung around the house more than we expected to, but it was very pleasant to do so. The beds are very comfortable; the home is very well-equipped with anything you might want, including board games and puzzles; & the laundry works well. We had two dogs with us, & they loved it there. The rural area has nice roads for walking the dogs, & there is a big field fairly close by where the dogs enjoyed running around. We made partial day trips to go hiking on the Appalachian Trail & to visit Lexington and Staunton (both are lovely towns). We had good meals in Lexington: Bistro on Main (terrific); Napa Thai Cuisine (very good); and Nikos Grille for takeout (only OK). And we had a good lunch with huge portions in Staunton at Blu Point Seafood Co. & took out good pizza from Pizza Luca. Homeowner James was very responsive to our emails and texts, though we never met him. Arrival and departure was very easy since there was a keypad, & detailed home guide. We would return if we are back in the area.

Wonderful Weekend Get Away

Bud’s place was the perfect house for our weekend family get away to the mountains. It had a lot of room and the accommodations were excellent. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and sunset from the front porch and the kids enjoyed seeing the cows each morning. The house was very clean and we did not lack for anything in terms of towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. There was a welcome basket with wine and cheese and crackers and clear instructions for our stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Peaceful Location

We booked this house to get away from the city and enjoy the Mountain View. It did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need to cook and feel at home. The beds were actually comfortable which is usually not true in our experience. The number of rooms with the bunks for the kids fit us exactly and we were very at home. We loved the cows and the farm across the street that we could shop eggs and cheese and butter from the farm shop. Overall clean And nice experience. 5 stars.!

Great home and location

We came to the area for the Chessie Trail Marathon, then decided we’d have to come back again just to stay in this beautiful home. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The notebook left for visitors was concise and well planned. The location was peaceful and the wide-open night sky was thrilling for those of us not used to dark skies. (Although we did not see the playground that was mentioned, our 5 and 11 year old kids loved the home and wanted to stay longer). It was a great place for all three generations of our family to stay.

Our stay could not have been better. We were welcomed with a hospitality basket on the kitchen table and clean, comfortable and and well stocked accommodations. We have such an appreciation for family history and loved the fact that this still felt like a family home. The front deck was the perfect place to enjoy the evening air and beautiful sunsets! The beds were very comfortable and we all left rested and relaxed! There is plenty of space for the family to enjoy being together or to spread out. We will definitely recommend Bud’s Place to our friends.
