Testimonials

"For over three decades I've fished the spring creeks of Paradise Valley, Montana and I can truthfully say that my days spent on Rose River Farm compare very favorably. The Rose River is at its scenic best as it flows through this lovely corner of Madison county and its population of big, energetic rainbows will challenge and generously reward the angler. Plus, there is always the chance of landing a wild, Rose River native brookie of a size not commonly found south of the Canadian border."

Madison County Virginia Luxury Cabins

Exceptional Accommodations

Rose River Farm features three exceptional rental cabins for overnight guests located "catty corner" to the main farm on a private 20 acre parcel that has beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rose River Valley. The cabins are modern day interpretations of classic Mongolian Yurts. Constructed of cedar, glass and steel, each cabin is over 1,100 square feet and has central AC/Heat. All three cabins feature two bedrooms with two full baths. Each bedroom has two double beds. The living room features a domed 17 ft ceiling, leather club furniture and a jumbo flat screen TV with satellite, DVD player and even an iPod docking stereo. Unlimited high speed satellite WIFI is available from a third party provider for $4 a day. There is also a full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, full size fridge and freezer with ice maker) and a nice round dining / gaming table for eating or a little evening cards. There is even a fly tying table with a Regal vise.

Miles of Views

The cabins feature a wall of windows and a big porch to capture the spectacular views of Old Rag Mountain, the Rose River Valley, and a stocked pond (bass, bluegill and trout) that is catch and release, single barbless hook only, strictly for cabin guests. There is a park style charcoal grill and a big outdoor fire pit with wood supplied.

A Great Place to Spend a Night or a Week

While the cabins are designed with the fly angler in mind they are also available to those looking for a weekend getaway, a mid week break or even a full week vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cabins are also ideal for the non fishing spouse.

Horseback Riding

We have an outfitter who can provide horses for local trail rides into the National Park leaving right from your cabin.

Activities Abound

Madison County offers an abundance of outdoor activity from hiking Old Rag Mountain and White Oak Canyon (both within 10 min of the farm) to visiting Camp Hoover and the Shenandoah National Park. There are a number of wineries in the area and many great restaurants as well. Old town Culpeper with the quaint Davis Street shopping area is 20 minutes away and Charlottesville is about a half hour drive. There are several golf courses and even a couple of shooting preserves nearby for wing shooting. For a full list of area attractions and an online dining guide please click here.

Fish More Than Just The Farm

Many of our fly fishing guests who are spending a few nights with us like to spend at least one day fishing the beautiful native trout waters that surround the Farm. The Rapidan, the Upper Rose, the Robinson and many others are within a few minutes of the cabins. For more local fly fishing information, other than the Farm's trophy waters, please click here. We do provide full and half day guide services for these native streams if desired.
