all around. John is a farmer with intentions to better all the land and cattle he takes care of. He's also a craftsman as reflected in our mahogany headboard, and the many cabins he has built...See More

John and Caryl have created a masterful place for guests to stay and enjoy nature
all around. John is a farmer with intentions to better all the land and cattle he takes care of. He's also a craftsman as reflected in our mahogany headboard, and the many cabins he has built with all the comforts for guests.
Now to the home-cooked breakfast and dinner. Caryl plans and prepares every meal. The food is fresh, flavorful and such a variety of casseroles, salad, and home-baked muffins and cake. We have never had such wholesome, tasty food. Their property offers so many adventures you could stay a week and maybe not do everything there is to do. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuine. We can't wait to go back. Thank you, Caryl and John, for providing such a magical place.
I must add that their son David and his wife Erin are working with John and Caryl now, which only adds to the hospitality.
Thank you so much to the entire team!
Best,
Wendy & Ken

Sad we had to leave, can't wait to go back! It's the "Yellowstone Ranch of Virginia" in my opinion.
Only a few hours from northern VA, but feels a world away in unspoiled nature. There are stunning scenic views, great food, friendly staff and beautiful rooms on a working cattle farm. Truly a place where you can disconnect for the better.

We just finished our 3rd trip to Fort Lewis. It was amazing. If you want to get away and relax, Fort Lewis is just the place. The grounds are beautiful, lots of walking trails and a beautiful river to swim in, fish or even kayak in.Some of my favorite things to do are to visit the cows, go birding, or sit by the crackling fire.

The rooms are beautiful and well appointed. Fort Lewis provides both breakfast and dinner, and the meals never disappoint. Everything is very tasty. We are looking forward to a return trip next year.

Absolutely beautiful setting to just relax for a couple days. They provide breakfast and dinner each day and the food is phenomenal. The sauna by the river is a must rent as it's a perfect setting, with river access right outside to cool off. Cell service is there now, but limited, and wifi is also provided for those that need to stay connected.
