About this property

The Studio at Dark Run Retreat

  • About this space
    Quiet studio on a secluded 5 acres only 3 miles from town. Kick back and relax by the pool in the warmer months, or in the hot tub in the cooler months. Small trails lead to the creek running along the property, maybe you'll even catch a glimpse of the deer or turkey that wander thru...we've even seen a lil bear once! There is an apartment above the studio, so we ask that you be mindful of those guests if occupied.

    *The studio got a make-over! As of 10/6/20, we will no longer be hosting pets*
    The space
    The studio is one single room with a bathroom. There is a full kitchen and sofa bed.
    Other things to note
    This is our home and we choose to share it with YOU, but we're not interested in hosting your extended family get togethers! The number of people that you indicate in your booking is the number of people welcome to come. Also, I do have young boys, so out of respect for them and the other guests, please observe quiet hours of 11pm to 7am.

A quiet space to enjoy nature and the host's family while they did their daily activities. They were respectful of solitude when needed. The studio is a perfect size, to me, and easy to use (once I found out the sofa bed has a supporting fold-up board, lol.) It's on a dirt road, so my car got dirty....meh. I would have loved to have stayed for MONTHS!!

Beautiful property close to Shenandoah mountains hiking and Culpeper, Va. The place is stocked with everything you may need in case you forgot something. I enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens and the hammock at sundown.Nice pool and hot tub available when the weather is agreeable.
