Immersive Farm & Equine Experiences

At Carriage Stone Farm, your stay goes far beyond the farmhouse walls.

Set on 50 private acres in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, our property is home to rescued horses and a rich equine tradition that invites guests to slow down, connect, and experience something genuinely rare. Whether you're here to celebrate a milestone, retreat with loved ones, or simply seek a deeper connection with the land and its animals, our guided experiences are designed to make every moment feel meaningful.

Guests are invited to engage through hands-on equine encounters, guided farm tours at nearby Madeline Farms, and the legendary Cowboy Experience with Cowboy Dylan at Rocking T Ranch, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This is farm and ranch life as it was meant to be: authentic, grounding, and deeply connected to the land. All experiences are private to your group and available to both guests and day visitors.

The Ultimate Cowboy Experience with Cowboy Dylan

A one-of-a-kind horse connection adventure right here at Carriage Stone Farm.

At Carriage Stone Farm & Horse Ranch, our beloved rescue horses are more than just residents. They are part of the story of this place. And with Cowboy Dylan and Rocking T Ranch on the property, guests have the rare opportunity to build a genuine, hands-on connection with them.

The Cowboy Experience goes beyond riding. It's about building a deep bond with your horse through hands-on grooming, groundwork, and riding activities that teach the fundamentals of horsemanship while fostering trust, mutual respect, and a connection that stays with you long after you leave.

Born and raised in Page County and trained under renowned horseman James "Petey" Wright of the Flying W Ranch, Cowboy Dylan brings decades of expertise and a genuine love for the equine lifestyle to every session. Whether you're a seasoned rider or picking up the reins for the very first time, Dylan's personalized approach ensures an experience that is as enriching as it is unforgettable.

Hayride and Farm Safari at Madeline Farms

A guided journey through the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.

Just 8 minutes from Carriage Stone Farm, our sister property Madeline Farms offers one of the most beloved experiences in the Shenandoah Valley: a guided hayride through 150 acres of rolling pastures, sweeping mountain views, and the wonderful animals who call Madeline Farms home.

Step aboard and journey deep into the back acres where cattle, horses, donkeys, and curious farm personalities often gather right at the wagon. It's immersive, peaceful, and a little magical, and it has a way of becoming the unexpected highlight of your entire stay.
