The same timber-framed barn that's hosted hundreds of celebrations — refreshed and ready for yours. Up to 250 guests, indoor and outdoor ceremony space, full bar, on-site coordination, and the Massanutten as your backdrop. Bookings open soon.
Virginia's first farm brewery, brewing 25+ award-winning recipes with hops and herbs grown on the property. Wood-fired pizza kitchen, dog-friendly patio, family-friendly atmosphere. A natural stop after Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, or the Appalachian Trail.
