Great Stay for Event at Tranquility Farm
We stayed at this property during a family wedding at Tranquility Farm across the street. Such a great, convenient location to walk back and forth for wedding events. The winery was a great option for hanging out, as well. The house comfortably fit our large group and 3 cars. I think it’s worth noting for large groups that there are no sofa beds and the only room with multiple beds is the bunk room. This works, but good for planning purposes.

Disappointing service
Our group stayed here last year for the 1st time and it was a great experience. We came back this year for our strategic retreat and were really disappointed. The fridge and counters were dirty, there were no trash bags left for us, the trash was supposed to go out daily, but never got picked up which left a smell in the game room. The suggested caterer cancelled on us last minute which left us with few options for a business retreat. There was also a lovely gentleman that works on the farm, but we were unaware that he'd be coming into the yard and actually working in an office inside of the house. Definityly unexpected and off-putting. We planned on using this property for our yearly retreats for years to come, but are now looking elsewhere due to our recent experience.

Wonderful Experience
Beautiful house on beautiful property, surrounded by horses and grapes. The hosts are a pleasure to work with. A quaint town nearby, and a short trip to DC or National Harbor. It would take a month to visit all of the wineries in the vicinity. We've stayed there twice and very much look forward to returning.

So Much Potential
We booked this property last fall. We inquired about the chef and were told that it was too early to book him and should get back in touch in February 2023. We did that and after answering some of the owner's questions, we were told the chef was unavailable that week. He did recommend two other chefs in the area. We hired D.A.H. Cuisines (amazing). Before arriving, we were sent a code and told to pick up the key at the wine tasting room. On arrival, the wine tasting room knew nothing about a key. They contacted someone and we were told the key was in the mailbox. There was no key in the mailbox. We went back to the tasting room again. Finally someone arrived with a key. The house was beautiful with large windows, large rooms, two kitchens and a game room. The one thing we noticed were the bathrooms seemed stained. That was disappointing. We found the large barbecue, pool and patio area. The pool was not clean. There were no signs indicating the depths of the pool. With small children, this was worrisome. The stone patio area had a couple of levels. It was hard to tell where a step was. Several of our party tripped. One person fell and broke her hip and went to the hospital. We lost power during a storm. We contacted the owner through Vrbo, called his contact number. We finally realized there was a generator that did not have sufficient fuel. We never heard from the owner. A lovely home, but be careful if you have small children (deep pool) and seniors (uneven steps).

This was a wonderful stay! The house is even nicer in person. Check in and check out were easy, the property was just as described (one of the bedrooms is in the basement, but very nice), and everyone said the beds were very comfortable. The kids had a great time in the pool and game room. We will definitely be back!

We rented this house with the purpose to have our combined families to meet each other and to hang out getting to know everyone. The setting was perfect for the occasion, Kristopher the owner was very gracious and easily reachable if needed. The adjoining winery is just a short stroll away and they have some fine wines to enjoy.

Amazing Birthday Weekend at Gruner
My wife and I stayed at the Gruner Bungalow with 7 other couples in early June. The house and property were amazing. 8 couples had plenty of space including individual bedrooms all with large beds, and LOTS of living space. The multiple living rooms, game room, and outdoor pool space were great. The game room features pool, ping pong, and two huge flatscreen TVs each with independent feeds (great for watching two different sporting events). The home features two kitchens which are very helpful to support cooking, serving, and eating. We had a private chef and his staff come to the house one night and there was plenty of space for him and his staff to cook, work, and serve without anyone feeling on top of each other. Pool was very nice; not heated but even in early June it was warm enough to swim in and quite clean. The entire pool area was very nice and great area to spend time. The home is located on the Otium Cellars property which is incredibly unique for a home rental! You can walk about 50 steps from the rental home to the tasting room which is fantastic. Overall, the home is very well kept, very clean, and plenty big for a large group of adults. There is great access to the Northern Virginia wine country and to the town of Purcellville. I highly recommend for an adult friend or family gathering! Jamie
