Funny Farm Inn
Bed and Breakfast

The Funny Farm Inn is an 85-acre horse farm nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nine miles southwest of Culpeper, just 40 minutes from historic Charlottesville, and 1-1/2 hours from Washington, D.C., The Funny Farm is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, trail riding and hiking adventures. Find peace and quiet while horse showing at Commonwealth Park, sightseeing, searching for real estate, or just relaxing in front of a fireplace or beside the pool.

Stay in one of three individual houses and one family suite you can call your own. Each sleeps four to six people, but is very romantic for a couple. All cottages have full baths, completely equipped kitchens, fireplaces, outdoor grills, air conditioning, and cable television with VCRs.

While visiting, guests can enjoy an assortment of resident dogs, cats, miniature horses, donkeys, ducks, chickens, and, of course, horses. For those guests who wish to bring horses, the Funny Farm Inn offers the finest in horse accommodations with deluxe barn, rings, board fencing, and trails. The inn is within one hour of seven fox hunts, fifteen minutes from Hits of Culpeper (Triple A rated), and fifteen minutes from the Blue Ridge Mountain trail system. The Funny Farm Inn does not offer rental horses, but your hosts can make arrangements for guided trail rides on safe horses.

While staying at the Inn, you can also enjoy the Skyline Drive and Luray Caverns or tour local wineries. A short drive will take you to historic Monticello, Montpelier, Ashlawn, and Civil War battlefields. Wonderful antique shops, fine restaurants, a hiking trail, and superb fishing streams are only minutes away.

Two restored 1800 log homes, sheltered by one of the largest holly trees in the country, have fully exposed logs, porches, and decks. They also feature large living rooms (one also has a sunroom), dining areas, and two bedrooms. The large in-ground pool is right behind both houses.

The third house, a charming cedar-sided contemporary, has exposed beams, Civil War hotel doors, and a spectacular view. It is furnished with antiques and has an extensive library featuring horse books. A master bedroom suite has a full bath, two other bedrooms with shared full bath, a living room, large kitchen, and dining area. It is a short stroll to the pool.
