“Beautiful country home in a private and picturesque setting! The owners literally thought of everything you would need in the house. The house was clean and comfortable. At night the tree line lit up with fireflies like it was a fireworks display. The sunrise and sunsets were amazing.”

“What a wonderful hidden gem! The outdoor space was my primary reason for choosing the Whindale Ranch and it did not disappoint! The hangout area was perfect for our family and it’s so tucked away with beautiful fields and greenery surrounding. Inside the house was well kept, spacious, and overall I was very happy!”

“This is our second stay and we have already booked the third. The house is so comfortable and the views of the farm and rolling hills are spectacular. The hosts are most gracious. So many thoughtful touches throughout the house. And the outdoor gazebo is the best outdoor space I have ever seen.”

“Five of us met, from Houston, Omaha, and Connecticut. We instantly felt at home and welcome. This home is spotless, fully stocked, and has enough indoor and outdoor spaces to keep any group busy for many days. We loved Torbin and his cows! Thanks for a long weekend we'll always remember!”

A quiet farm and a comfortable farmhouse

Whindale Ranch sits on 86 acres of working cattle farm in Pratts, Virginia. Stay in the farmhouse, look out over the pasture, and let the pace of the day slow down.
