Also, the pro shop staff is a pleasure to work with. On the negative side, the administrative staff leaves a lot to be desired. We were overcharged regularly and getting the statements corrected was like pulling teeth. Also, we had one dinner there and it was among the worst restaurant meals we have had, anywhere. I wrote the chef an email about our experience, and never received a response. We never ate dinner there again, nor would I in the future. Always had a good experience with the lunch menu items, but the service was fair at best. Better management is needed.

Great Food. The golf course is in really good shape. Not a big fan of the course layout but I…read morebelieve it to be the best managed club around the area. I recommend Orchard Creek.

So glad that we an had opportunity to visit the beautiful and historic Spotts-Coffman house. I've…read morebeen in and around Staunton my entire life, and loved to be able to go into one of the old town houses. The guide goes over the history of the house and of Charlotte Spotts DeBaun Coffman, a local figure in the history of Staunton, who owned the home and lived there from 1901 to 1988. The Victorian era embellishments in the house are beautiful, with detailed ceilings, doors, floors, and stained glass. The furniture, decor, and odds and ends they've chosen make the house cozy and interesting. None of Charlotte's original furniture is in the house, but what's there now fits the style of her era, and most of it is based around the Victorian time frame. Don't forget to say hello to the duckling for me! You can tell that the owner and guide, Kevin, truly loves the house and is doing a wonderful job keeping a vital part of history alive. He treats Charlotte's memory with dignity and respect, and shows off the house with obvious pride. They also host special events like a Holiday Tea or a Murder Mystery night, which I'd love to attend some day. Tours are available on an appointment basis - if you plan on visiting the Woodrow Wilson House and Museum down the street, give them a call and see if a time slot is available. We paid $15 a person, which I never mind spending on something like this. If you'd like to visit Charlotte's grave, she and her family members (and both husbands!) are in the nearby beautiful and historic Thornrose Cemetery. Enter from Thornrose Ave and take a right; circle past the large mausoleum and the plots will be on your left. Look for the large "Spotts" stone - the markers are all right by the road.

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!

Bellair Farm has a market-style CSA, which is great because that means you don't get pre-designated veggie choices each week but can instead choose whatever variety you want to fill your bag out of the week's offerings. It's a great value too because on top of your week's worth of veggies there are also pick your own fields that are open to all members to come out and pick green beans, sunflowers, tomatoes, and more to your heart's content! They hold events/workshops on the farm open to anyone, and the barn shop also has a selection of other curated, local goods like honey, maple syrup, jams, etc. that you can buy when visiting. The farm managers are both super friendly and knowledgeable and want to make your CSA/farm/event experience the best possible. They're at the Charlottesville city market every week as well as the Meade Park market on Wednesdays.

On the plus side, it's free and has an open, dog-friendly grassy area. We gave our 9-year old miniature poodle some time to walk around. It also has a small historical display and pretty landscape with the Blue Ridge mountains in the background. The only minus is that it did not seem to have a full-fledged restroom facility in late April 2025, so you may be limited to a port-a-potty that is infrequently cleaned. However in the summer months, an indoor restroom may be open in the historical display area of the mill. In any case, the farm is a nice place to stretch your legs or take a short break from driving. Dog and kid-friendly!

This is the former home of Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the mechanical grain reaper. At this beautiful farm, you can learn about agriculture, see the old grist mill, walk along a nature trail to see cows in the pasture, and have a picnic in the picnic area. Pets are also welcome! I met the resident cat who roams around. Perhaps you'll meet him, too. Also, I got to see a calf take its first steps while I was there! This is a pretty neat place. This place is also known as the Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center, and is part of Virginia Tech University.

Wife and I are visiting Charlottesville from out of town, exploring the shops here on the mall…read more I walk in with two warm beverages from the coffee shop a couple doors down, a woman approaches me and says "We ask that you take any beverages and set them down on the counter" (motioning to the glass counters near the register). .....so confused. Never heard of this ever. So they are concerned we are going to spill all over their products? My wife and I, confused at what to do, just decide to walk out and leave. It was ten minutes until closing time on New Years Day. My wife previously heard another attendant audibly taking about wanting to close early. Okay we get it, you just want to be done. Next time, instead of being rude and enforcing inane policies that discourage people from parusing your wears; just lock up and don't let us in in the first place.
