Pictures from my hike up our Jarrel Mountain and back on Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals. Even with our guests there is plenty room for social distancing~~~~about 50 acres per person! 🙂 It started with snow on the mountain tops and ended in glorious sunshine.
Oops! This was meant to be last picture of previous post. "Panoramic view of Blue Ridge through trees part way up our Jarrel Mountain."
Views from my hike yesterday on Fairhill Farm trails We have over five miles of private trails. http://fairhillfarmusa.com/
We are so appreciative of our loyal following. We remain open but vigilant against the invisible threat. We religiously follow the CDC recommendations for social distancing for staff and guests as well as disinfecting and cleaning our vacation rentals. Please be safe as you shelter-in-place.
From my hike yesterday along South River which our two adjacent farms front at Fairhill County Vacation Rentals. This lovely, peaceful and soothing hike is about 1.5 miles round trip and is in addition to our over 5 miles of private hiking trails on our Jarrell and Goodall Mountains.

This video was taken yesterday, March 29, 2020, from our event venue just prior to the start of my hike along the 'Old Road' and up Jarrell Mountain on our Fairhill Farm. Sheltering in-place never felt better for me or for our guests! One person per 50 acres. Now that's social distancing!
This short video was taken at our venue and trail head near base of our Jarrel Mountain at the beginning of my hike along the 'Old Road' and up Jarrell Mountain on Fairhill Farm.

Spring has sprung at Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals and, yes, we are open for business: http://fairhillfarmusa.com/ We have received a number of inquiries from folks that want to escape to the rural country side for fresh air, open space and stunning mountain views. Our two farms comprise nearly 300 acres fronting on the South River with private hiking trails, springs to explore and miniature horses to enjoy. Our three vacation rentals with fully equipped kitchens are at least 1/10 mile apart with a population density of about one person per 50 acres. Now that’s social distancing! We also use CDC procedures to clean, disinfect and prepare our vacation rentals for each guest’s arrival. The cottages are also self-check-in and our staff stringently practice social distancing with each other and with our guests. Our local grocery as well as drug stores are open and our restaurants are providing curbside pick-up and/or limiting dine-in to ten people. The Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail and Skyline Drive are less than a 15-minute drive from our farms and the entrance fees have been waived. Finally, please know that our prices are at our normal rate. We find it morally and ethically reprehensible that some popular vacation spots at the beach or in the mountains have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled their rates. We will be happy to host you but regardless please be safe and follow all recommended guidelines as the nation works its way through the threat of this virus.
Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals earned Super Host status from Airbnb for the fourth consecutive year...every year since we joined four years ago. Come visit us and see why! Best, your host , Alton

First significant snowfall this year at Fairhill Farm Country Vacation Rentals. We received about 5 inches....just enough to be beautiful and inviting without being limiting or burdensome, Makes sitting fireside with a glass of wine most enjoyable ...or even a little sledding on our hills. 🏄♂️

Pictures from my walk this morning along our South River which our Fairhill Farm and High Fields Farm front. We have over five miles of private trails not including this River Walk.
