Operated by Spring Valley Farm · Moneta, Virginia
Spring Valley Farm sits on 600 acres of working countryside in Moneta, Virginia, a short drive from Smith Mountain Lake and the regional hubs of Roanoke and Lynchburg. At 1191 Horseshoe Bend Rd, Moneta, VA 24121, the farm’s cabins and Tiny House combine homey comforts—fiber‑optic Wi‑Fi, kitchenettes, full bathrooms and climate control—with wide-open outdoor life.
Each lodging unit arrives ready for evenings outside: a brand‑new picnic table, private fire pit, and charcoal grill set the stage for s’mores and slow conversations under big Virginia skies. There’s an in‑ground swimming pool for hot afternoons and two stocked ponds maintained for catch‑and‑release fishing; no Virginia license is required for guests, though anglers should bring their own rods and tackle. The property’s petting zoo is a particular draw — kids and adults can meet goats, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, rabbits, ducks and the farm’s unique zonkey and camel — and it’s free to visit without a reservation.
Trails weave through fields, creek corridors and mixed hardwood forest across the six hundred acres, offering easy day hikes, birdwatching and quiet places to stake a blanket and read. The landscape is classic Appalachian foothills: rolling pastures, beech and oak groves, small creeks that feed the stocked ponds and open views that change color with the seasons. Smith Mountain Lake is minutes away for boating, swimming or a shoreline picnic, while Roanoke and Lynchburg provide quick access to cultural stops and grocery resupply.
What sets Spring Valley Farm apart is the combination of authentic farm life with modern convenience. You can video‑call while the kids feed a zonkey, or fall asleep to croaks from the ponds and wake up to a light mist over the fields. The flexible stays (1–14 nights) make it an easy choice for a weekend escape, a working‑from‑away setup, or a small family reunion.
Practical notes: the property offers basic but modern cabins—bring fishing gear, comfortable shoes for trail walking and any specialty supplies you need.

Bookings are flexible: nightly stays range from short weekends to two‑week visits, so it’s easy to tailor a trip whether you want short unplug or an extended reset.
