Farmhouses are a popular style of architecture, and it's no mystery why, considering this classic style has existed in Virginia for centuries.
The Old Peddler's House is a restored, classic Virginia farmhouse that can be found at the end of a mile-long driveway. Pulling into the property, you'll feel fully immersed in the unmistakable landscape of Virginia's Albemarle County.
Setting foot inside the home is much akin to stepping back in time, to a period where Thomas Jefferson's Monticello was just being built.
This unique rental home in Virginia includes two bedrooms, three full baths, a living and family room, a dining room, a large kitchen with a sunny eating area, and even a laundry room with a washer and dryer.
There's a 1-night minimum to stay here, but with so many comfortable amenities, you might decide to stay for a week! The house can accommodate up to eight guests.
And the best part of all? There's a fireplace in every room. These original fireplaces speak to a time before central heating was available.
And while the inside of the Old Peddler's House is impressive, it's the surrounding farm that truly sets this destination apart. The farmhouse is part of a 250-acre horse farm, complete with green rolling pastures and natural beauty for as far as the eye can see.
There's even a babbling creek just below the house; it's the perfect place to bring a picnic or a good book.
So, if you're in need of a restorative vacation that promises solitude, peace, and a fascinating insight into Virginia's history, you'll cherish your stay at the Old Peddler's House in Scottsville.
