Spend the day exploring all the amenities that Penmerryl has to offer. Hike or ride the more than 5 miles of scenic trails and end up at the lake to canoe or fish. Feed the “mini-donks” some carrots, or just veg-out by the pool.
The Lake
Tucked away on a secluded corner of The Farm is our 8 acre lake. Accessible by a dirt road in a vehicle or by way of one of our many hiking trails, the lake offers a quiet spot to fish, boat, picnic, or just hang out and enjoy the wildlife. There is a walking trail that circles the entire lake and offers the best opportunity to see beavers, geese, turtles, deer, and many other local flora and fauna. If you’re lucky, you may even see one of the bald eagles fishing!
Breakfast
Breakfast is served daily in the central room of the lodge, and it’s bound to be a highlight of your stay! Breakfast includes a selection of fruit, coffee, juices, and a variety of bread and cereals. We typically serve at 8:30am (alternative start times can be arranged in advance for large groups). Our breakfast is everything you need to start your day on the farm off right!
*If you are staying in a lodge room or cabinette, breakfast is included with your stay. Guests who are camping or staying in one of the large cabins are welcome to join for breakfast for an additional charge of $15/person. Please let us know in advance if you want to add breakfast to your stay so we can prepare for an accurate headcount.
*We are happy to accommodate any special dietary needs, though we do request you let us know about them in advance so we can plan accordingly.
The Pool
Our beautiful salt-water and mineral pool anchors the central courtyard. It is a great place to gather with your friends and family or just relax after a day of riding or other outdoor activities. There are two large gazebos located at one end with a gas grill and serving tables, perfect for a poolside BBQ.
The pool is open from roughly April 15- October 31, dependent on weather.
The Tavern
Aptly named, “The Sore Ass Saloon” and designed as a communal hangout, the tavern is just a short walk from the lodge and cabins. Well appointed with bar (BYOB), full kitchen, pool table, big-screen TV (with Dish Network programming) and dining tables with total seating for nearly 40 people. The tavern also works well as a training/media room due to the excellent acoustics and appointed A/V system.
Stables & Horse Facilities
Bring your own pony! Our stables are located just across from the lodge building and offer oversized stalls to keep your horse happy and comfy. Stalls will be bedded for you, but we do not have full time barn staff so you are fully responsible for your horses care while on site.
WIFI and Internet Access
We offer free WIFI on the farm to all of our guests, but due to our rural location, we can’t guarantee great speed or reliability . It’s definitely better than it used to be, but it used to be that Morse code was a more reliable option, so it’s all relative. We feel comfortable at this point describing it as “usually pretty okay”, so interpret that how you please.
If you need excellent WiFi during your stay, there are several coffee shops in nearby Staunton that offer a great work space. Cell service on the farm seems to be reliable from most carriers.
Massages Available
Saddle sore?
We are pleased to offer on-site massage by one of our own! Lydia Pittkin is a certified massage therapist, and she’d love to help you relax and unwind during your stay.
