Farmhouse Bed & Barn Stay
Voted “Favorite Horsey Spot in Maryland” by Equiery Magazine
As a bed & barn vacation getaway designed for horses and riders to enjoy together, you get the best of both worlds as a guest at Valley Meadow Farms. Your stay includes a 4-bedroom farmhouse for the people and a cozy historic barn with three oversized stalls and attached board fence paddock for your horses. Available for vacation rental year-round, you can enjoy every season as you ride miles of smooth and wide private trails on this 400 acre farm.
When not on horseback, soak in the views from the wrap-around porch, break out some board games for the family, or get toasty around the campfire. Enjoy this peaceful home away from home.
