FIVE STAR STAY WITH THIS HARVEST HOST…read more This place was awesome. Hosts Janis & John were so welcoming. From their Alpaca Farm there are views of rolling farmland and mountains. They have tons of adorable Alpacas all with their own creative names and personalities to match! There's a lovely store where you can purchase hand spun alpaca yarn as well as assorted handmade item from both their own alpacas as well as lots of unique items imported from Peru. Things like hats, gloves, socks, sweaters, barn vests and throws just to name a few. As an avid knitter I was so excited to purchase some of their beautiful hand spun yarn. We also picked up a few pairs of socks made from alpaca that have even better wicking quality than merino wool. Perfect for hiking! Keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter! They have a lovely porch with comfortable chairs that you can sit and watch the sun set over the mountains. At night we left our windows open and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The only sound was the occasional alerts of their guard dogs ensuring their alpacas are kept safe. Both Janis & John were lovely. We very much enjoyed chatting with them. We will def be back!

We bought a few interesting gifts in her store that you could not find elsewhere. Perfect for those "hard to buy for" people! A lot of the items are made from the fiber of her alpacas. The views on her farm are simply beautiful.

The wine tasting was nice. With large parties you are given a flight to try. No need to stand in the tasting room. I liked several of the flavors. After the tasting we took a walk around the grounds taking in all the animals. Because it was winter, we didn't spend a lot of time in the lavender fields. We did however visit the lavender shop. I purchased a lavender honey spot and some delightful lemon crunch lavender ice cream. Overall staff were friendly. I would recommend this business for anyone in the area or visiting massanutten.

You really get to enjoy an immersive, interactive experience on the farm. There is something for everyone, from interactive gardens and live animals. The best for a cute little DIY wine tasting. You can bring your own charcuterie platters, which is what we did to go along with our tastings. They have tasting room called the Purple Wolf Vineyard where you can purchase your portable tastings, wine, beer and slushy flights . I would definitely return again, great place to host a cute birthday event, with your friends. They also have a really nice gift shop as well.

Stacey gave me my first Reiki at the Summit (which is also another beautiful place) her energy is amazing. You will fall in love with her. We also enjoy a picnic by the river and bonfire later on in the evening. I still feel rejuvenated and everyone around me can feel that on me. I can't wait to go back this place. I will have to add this trip once a year or twice a year to reset. You will not regret it. I took videos and not pictures so I can't videos on Yelp but I have pictures of some of the meals

I have both hosted retreats at the farm and stayed at 1Tribe as a guest, and would highly recommend the experience! Our wellness retreats have made use of all of 1Tribe's accommodations: the cabins, farmhouse, and the more cushy summit house, and all three have their own charm. The cabins are great for a truly near to nature experience (which in my opinion in the best!). The farmhouse is cozy and full of character. And the summit feels like a luxury getaway with incredible views. Stacey Rae, Chris, Travis and the entire 1Tribe team go above and beyond to make you feel at home during your stay, and the more recent added bonus of Chef Jordan and his incredible meals has made the retreat hosting experience all the more seamless. I plan to continue to bring groups to this special place, including twice this spring!!

There was "a lot to do," but for me, the "staples" of a fall festival were missing... no corn pit,…read moreno barrel train for the kids, no hay ride, and no big stacks of hay bails to climb on. Nothing to bounce on. Pony rides are $10 each which seems a bit much. I like that there were big slides, there was a cute obstacle course and mini maze, and some other random things like tug of war and tetherball. For the age ranges of my kids (2-8), it felt meh compared to some other places I've been more in the Hampton roads area. We don't do the large corn mazes l due too the kids ages, they just get bored, so my suggestion would be to have a separate cost for corn maze. For reference, wood ridge farm brewery has a sand-filled playground, corn maze and a petting zoo for a bit cheaper... they do have a train, hay ride, and bounce house, but it all costs extra. I guess you can't have it all.

This was such a fun place to visit with kids! We visited in mid-October and it checked all the fall…read morefestival boxes. It's a vibe for sure and well worth the price of admission. They had it all, from apple cider (cold and hot!), apple cider donuts, ice cream, and fresh squeezed lemonade to a pumpkin patch and oodles of kids activities (slides, hill rolling, corn pits, apple sling shot, corn cannons, an epic corn maze, farm animals, pony rides and more). Need a pumpkin? Pick one in their patch! If you're looking for an idyllic fall festival, look no further but be warned that your kids won't want to leave! It is also dog friendly and we never had a long wait for a bathroom or any of the activities. At night they have movies and fire pits with s'mores kits.

I love Polyface! We…read moresaw this farm on Food Inc. documentary. It is a family owned organic farm. When we saw this on the documentary we immediately fell in love. This is the way animals should be kept. This was the highlight of our trip. Once we found out that it was nearby we knew we had to visit and purchase some meat for dinner. We came here when it was very cold in VA but we had a blast. It was nice to see the animals in such a great environment. The chickens and pigs were super friendly! We wondered around the whole farm. I also heard that Chipotle gets their Carnitas from Polyface! Make sure you have the following: A Full Tank of Gas- You will be in the middle of nowhere and not many places to stop by. Cash- That's all they accept there. Cooler with ice- You will most likely purchase a lot of meat so bring a large one. Comfortable shoes Once we were done wondering around we headed into the store. The two ladies were super friendly and answered all our questions. It was clean and they had several refrigerators with varieties of meats to purchase. Chicken stock, organic eggs, steaks, whole chickens, etc. It was heaven! If you are nearby definitely check this place out! It was worth it!

The staff greeted us with warm smiles and helpful tips, making the experience feel welcoming from the start. Their marketplace has a wide selection of apple varieties, most of them are ready for sampling. While wandering the rows, we stumbled upon a few new favorites--crisp, sweet, and just the right amount of tart. If you're looking for a family‑friendly outing with fresh fruit, friendly faces, and plenty of tasty discoveries, Chiles Peach Orchard is a must‑visit. Notes: This maybe not in their control - lantern flies were everywhere, they don't bite, but they are invasive bugs, be careful not to get hitchhikers. Also, they sometimes add an admission fee on specific picking days, so check their website beforehand to avoid surprises.

As summer was ending, we decided to stop by Chile's Peach Orchard…read more We were excited to try the peach soft serve and peach donuts. The soft serve was pretty good. It had some peach flavor, but honestly, nothing out of the ordinary. I was told the peach donuts were just all right, not as standout as others (apple cider donuts). What did stand out was the peach Bellini, which was really good, especially because it was such a hot day. We wanted to check out the peach orchard, but unfortunately, they had sold out for the day, so we weren't allowed to go. It was probably around two or three in the afternoon, so we were surprised they had shut down so early. We did enjoy the views and live music, which was really cool. Definitely check out their weekly events!

My husband had the Smokehouse Platter and thought it offered plenty of tasty food. I had the Carolina Gold Chicken Crusty Roll and upgraded my side to the Charred Corn Succotash. Absolutely delicious!! After lunch, we walked the property, visiting the horses, donkey, and stables. Played an assortment of outdoor games they had available, too, such as Donut Toss, Cornhole Golf, Sand Volleyball, and Outdoor Connect Four. Stable Craft Brewing also has lodging available. We're seriously considering a trip to do just that! We found this place during travel. Its laid-back atmosphere, fabulous music, great food, and fun entertainments were well worth the visit. Highly recommend!

A couple of weeks ago, myself & my husband were there for the Renaissance Fair (THAT WAS SPECTACULAR!!) . As I was waiting in line a lady came up and complained about the chicken quesadilla, which had hardly any meat. So I'd wouldn't recommend that particular item in the menu. That is about the only negative thing I can say about this place. We really enjoy coming to STABLE CRAFT brewing. We've been coming here since we moved here in 2017 and have watched them grow to a spectacular place..
