We adored our mountain getaway @ Four Fields! Adults, kids and the dog had a wonderful time. This is truly one of the best views we’ve ever seen. You really have a gem here. We hope to be back again. Thank you for everything.

This is such a beautiful spot to sit and contemplate, yet enough around to keep one busy. The house is very comfortable and extremely well supplied linens, kitchenware, maps, etc. We wish you well in the endeavor Doug as you head into retirement. Good luck and thanks. We will recommend Four Fields highly to our friends.

My family and I had a wonderful time here at Four Fields. We loved sitting on the back deck and enjoying the views. Very peaceful. We hiked White Oak Canyon Falls and all highly recommend this hike. The pizza at Sperryville Pizza Kitchen was delicious and The Little Country Store about a mile away has good barbeque and Reuben sandwiches.

I am in love with Four Fields. I would not have wanted to spend my 21st anywhere else!! Such beautiful views, kind people and cozy house. We will be back.

We absolutely loved our time at Four Fields. The views were amazing and the weather was perfect. We even had the chance to show our five-month old son the cows across the road—his very first animal sighting. What a lovely vacation—we’ll definitely be back next year, or even sooner. A treat was grabbing some Virginia peanuts at the Sperryville Corner Store—we’re stopping by on our way back to D.C. to grab some more. Thank you so much Doug—our family had a great first vacation all together and with our lovely friends.

Thanks for providing such a beautiful setting for us. The trail info was great. Your home is perfect.
Hope and Dave, October 2020
Well, this was exactly the get away we were looking for. Morning hikes (thanks for the trail information), followed by relaxing at Four Fields during late afternoon evening. Your home was perfect for three couples. And clean!! A great setting for rekindling old friendships.

We had a specular weekend. We took two wonderful hikes based on the trails recommended in the white notebook. The sunsets were amazing and the views memorable. Four Fields is incredibly comfortable for three couples. Thank you for your Virginia hospitality.

Thank you a million times over for such a perfect 40th birthday. Your home and all of the touches nestled alongside the incredible mountain views made our stay most memorable! We had an absolute blast hiking all day and then relaxing by the fire outside each night. Doug, you are the perfect host! We look forward to returning in the Spring.

Inspiring sunrises, cozy campfires, misty mountain vistas, great bird watching, and wildlife sightings…all from the comfort of Four Fields. This home suited us perfectly and we feel refreshed by our weeks stay. Doug, you are an amazing host! We enjoyed this lovely and well-appointed home. And we were successful in creating fond memories. Count on us to return. And thank you for sharing your home with us.

Love it here. Will remember snowy fields and woods. The great influence of Saturn and Jupiter, blustery winds, bonfires, the woodstove, peaceful times reading, playing games, local hikes, and superb hospitality. Thank you. This house was perfect for the three of us for our memorable week here.

Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. It was a relaxing birthday and Valentine’s Day weekend. We loved watching the hawk fly over the fields and we saw some deer today. We enjoyed the fireplace, so cozy.
Greg, Kristin, Jackson and Tahlia, February 2021
As promised, we returned. Such a beautiful setting and a very comfortable home. Looking forward to our future visit, maybe in the winter.

Wildflower heaven, sweet air, so many birdsongs, and the thrum of the meadow bullfrog—we loved our days here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property and valley.
Barbara and Jon, May 2021
Thank you for all your tips and advice. Four Fields Farm very quickly became the family favorite. The house and views are amazing at any time, even in the rain. We have all enjoyed family time and unplugging for a bit. Our dog Lolly has enjoyed the sounds of the farm animals/wildlife and the beautiful yard. We made sure to book again in the fall and can’t wait. Definitely our favorite house and location.
Gina, Bert, Nisa, Dylan and Lolly, June 2021
Thank you for sharing your lovely home—the perfect meetup location for our Pennsylvania and North Carolina families. We appreciated all the extras in the house—especially enjoyed the porch, the views, and the firepit.

This was hands-down the best house we have explored so far. The cleanliness of this place made our stay worry-free during these uncertain times. We enjoyed the views and the porch so much and the sleep we were able to catch up with was priceless! The house was extremely cozy and comfy. We appreciate your attention to minute details and needs that the guests would have. Everything in the house is very well thought of. The dogs especially say thank you for having a fenced-in yard, gated porch and a very clean backyard they could play in. Love the place, love the views. Above all, love the hospitality and warmth of staying at Four Fields. Thank you again for making our stay so memorable.

My family and I had a great time staying at your house. The layout is perfect for a multi-generational family group—everyone had plenty of privacy and quiet space. The sandbox was discovered by our three-year old granddaughter. She was introduced to the pleasure of cool sand between her toes. Our granddaughter also enjoyed sliding down into the Adirondack chairs. The information on hiking and other activities in the region was very helpful. We were pleased to find the recycling bins and the fire extinguishers placed strategically. Providing an electrical cord for our electric card in our group was very helpful.
Charles and family, June 2021
Perfect spot for our family to meet up. The countryside is peaceful and relaxing. Your home is lovely, inviting and central to the things we want to do. We were able to reconnect with our daughter. It was such a blessing to see her and meet her new partner, Adam. Our dogs loved running in the yard and sunning themselves on the deck. Thank you for your hospitality.
April and family, July 2021
We are truly grateful to have time at Four Fields. Awesome! Everything about this place says relax, kick your shoes off, leave everything else behind. We enjoyed watching the birds and the stars. Keep up the good work in managing Four Fields and enjoy what you have here.
Don and Kelley, August 2021
We have been perfectly comfortable and happy here at Four Fields! Just sitting on the porch, enjoying the views and the sounds is a real treat. Morning hikes and bike rides have been enjoyed. This house has been a nice get together for our family, and we hope to come back.
Jason, Gloria, Thor, Ellinor and Jeff, August 2021
We enjoyed ourselves so much this week. Every morning we walked down the road with our dog Penny. She loved checking on all the farm animals. Then we drove into the Park to hike. The afternoons wee spent relaxing at the house, and hiking again in the evening. We appreciated the lovely views, and peace and quiet. Thank you for the time to unwind.
Laura and Drew, August 2021
We celebrated 21 years of marriage and loved every minute of it. The wifi in the house is great. We played games, had a fire, and really enjoyed the amazing views! This house is perfect and had everything we needed. We hope to be back with the kids and Rosie the dog so they can experience this awesome place too. Thanks for sharing your home and giving us the gift of time together.
Erica and Dan, September 2021
We celebrated our one-year wedding anniversary here and had a reception at the Barns of Madison County. The area is so beautiful and we enjoyed our stay so much. Thanks for hosing us. The house is great and we loved waking up to the view of Old Rag Mountain. We enjoyed a hike there on Friday and we could see the house from up there. Thank you again.
Kristen and Chad, September 2021
Thanks for providing such a great place for us all to get together and spend some time reconnecting. You’ve got a beautiful setting here at the foot of Old Rag, and the house was cozy with the firepit and wood stove. We all had a wonderful time—probably the dogs had the best time of all—with the hiking, plus the room to run. You are a great host. The place was perfect and we didn’t want for a single thing during our stay here. We will always remember our trip to Madison.
Judy, Charles, Nancy, Jack and Jenn, October 2021
Thank you for the hospitality. Penny sure did enjoy herself. We loved the hiking and the views. We hope to stay at Four Fields again.
Kevin, Ingrid and Penny, December 2021
We loved your house and our Christmas visit here. We have appreciated the thoughtfulness of your design and furnishings. What a comfortable, welcoming house. And special thanks for the hiking guidance, books and three-ring binder with the maps. We hope to return sooner rather than later.
Shelley, Lilah, Charlie and dogs, December 2021
What a beautifully appointed home! We had all the space and all the items we needed to enjoy two wonderful days here at this gorgeous location. We enjoyed beautiful vistas, fantastic hiking in the snow-sprinkled wooded trails, and cozy evenings with the fire glowing in the woodstove. Many thanks for your gracious hospitality and for your assistance with scouting out the right trails. We had a terrific stay.

Thank you so much for hosting my friends and I. We really enjoyed the home and the coziness of it all. We were able to relax, unwind and enjoy the countryside with any distractions. We went to Luray Caverns for the first time and it made the trip easy. We then came back and enjoyed the firepit. Thank you for the seasoned wood. It was perfect. Thank you again.
Terentia and friends, February 2022
It was wonderful to get away from the normal hustle and bustle of daily life. The house was perfect for us. Our dog loved the yard. She had plenty of space to run, sniff and enjoy herself. The views are just as wonderful as the house. Loved spending time on the deck and back patio. We cannot wait to return.
Christina, George and Jovie, March 2022
What a great getaway. We went to both DuCard and Blue Quartz wineries. Both were great fun. Even enjoyed live music with The Locals on Friday evening. Hiking was the most fun. We did Hazel River and White Oak Canyon/Waterfalls with our fur baby, Finley. We had a great time.
Mark and Maura, March 2022
A real treat! This is a lovely spot and ideal for walking or hiking. Views of hills and of Old Rag are beautiful! We also liked watching the cows in the nearby meadow. House is very easy and cozy with great views and a super Franklin woodstove. Thank for setting up the fire so we could light it on arrival. Our dog JJ says thanks for the runs in the field.
David, Hans, Beverly and JJ, March 2022
This was a perfect spot to host three empty nester families for a weekend of hiking, wineries and great food. Serene location, great accommodations! Hiked White Oak Canyon and Stony Man, lingered at Ducard (including talking with the owner), enjoyed a night under the stars, and reconnected with friends we’ve missed.
Barb, John, Carol, Brian, Debbi and Mike, April 2022
We had such a pleasant stay. Cooking and talking all evening. A lovely walk along Hazel River, with spring ephemerals, blood root and trout lilies. Then off to the distillery (Cooper Fox in Sperryville). We had a lovely hike up Berry Hollow Fire Road towards Old Rag, without leaves on the trees there were fine views of the rocky crag. On the way out, we stopped at White Oak Canyon and enjoyed many spring flowers, including trilliums, cardamine, blood root, hepatica, spring beauties, tooth wart, what a thrill. And a loud-singing Louisiana water thrush. Back home for cocktails and dinner on the porch watching the light fade. Thank you for the safe haven.
Jen and family, April 2022
Our family could not have been happier. Lovely evenings on the deck staring out at the mountains, s’mores by the firepit, and long hikes in the Shenandoah National Park. A fantastically stocked kitchen was perfect for the four of us eager chefs. Bailey the dog loved the deck and backyard. Even the weather was perfect.
Dick, Linda, Kristen, Anchin and Bailey, April 2022
We had a wonderful time here at Four Fields! We enjoyed a beautiful Easter weekend with the best weather, including some snow. The home had everything we needed. Our dogs loved the yard and we had plenty of spade for disc golf, bocce ball and frisbee. I hope its ok we took a small cutting from the Korean spice viburnum. Its heavenly! Best wishes.
Heather, Alex, Benji, Karen, Chris, Cooper and Tucker, April 2022
We had a wonderful time! Your place felt like our second home. We will have great memories of our visit and we plan on returning. It was a treat to meet you and wishing you and your family a wonderful year. All the best!
Desire, Bryon and Lizzy, April 2022
Such an enjoyable, warm, and restful week here in the Shenandoah. Thank you so much for all you do to welcome your guests and help us feel comfortable in your beautiful house and explore the countryside around us. We will miss the view from the porch as sunset, but we look forward to returning, for sure. With best wishes.
Dick and Diane, April 2022
We had the most wonderful stay at your beautiful home. You are a thoughtful host providing everything your guests could need. We were rarely inside, spending almost every minute on either the front or back porch. This morning we saw the sunrise from the front and a faint full moon from the back. Heaven! We too will miss the beautiful views, but hope to return.
Kathryn, May 2022
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Jim and I gathered and enjoyed several relaxing days with our daughter, husband and two sons. We frequently gathered on the porch enjoying the spectacular view. We loved the fireflies, stars and firepit at night. So grateful to have a day to hike in Shenandoah prior to my nephews wedding at the Barns of Madison. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay.
