Right next to the Debtor's Prison - built in the late 1787, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (Check out Wikipedia for more info.) Right across the road is the Prince Edward County Clerk's Office built in 1855. Less than 1 mile from Hampden Sydney College, established in 1775 (10th oldest college in the US.)
Briery Lake and Sandy River Reservoir (fishing spots in Prince Edward) are 5 minutes and 15 minutes away respectively. The property where the Worsham Farmhouse is located has Angus Beef Cows on sight, bee hives/local honey, and an outside farm cat that enjoys greeting anyone who wants so attention.
This was a great place to stay for visiting my son at Hampden-Sydney--literally just a few minutes away. The family room was perfect---my son and a friend came over each evening during the stay and we watched sports on the big TV. I wish this house was available every time we traveled there!
I loved the quiet, the back porch where I got wonderful warming sun in my face. The kids and my daughter had a chance to see cows up close and made friends with the owners cat. It was a great time that I will never forget.
Such a wonderful place to stay. Fully stocked home and then some. Clean and comfortable beds and furniture. Great communication with the owner who went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. Walking the property was so enjoyable, and the nickname store across the street is really charming. Extremely convenient and minutes from downtown Farmville. We couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more and will definitely be returning again in the future!
Our oldest son performs in a world class percussion drum corps group that was performing in Powhatan. My wife, our teen aged son, and I were looking for a place to stay for the weekend. Hotel rooms were available, but the thought of staying in a room with 2 queen beds wasn't a great fit for us.
I found Danielle's listing and her farmhouse was perfect for us. Two bedrooms, two full baths and a separate family room with a smart TV and wifi. This suited us completely, as my wife often wakes up in the middle of the night when she can't sleep, so she would be able to go to the family room without disturbing the rest of us. Bring your K-cups. It has a wonderful Keurig in the kitchen.
It's a farmhouse, but don't let that discourage you. Everything in it is modern, functional and clean. It's a farmhouse. Yes, there is a field with cows and barns right behind the house. It was worth it for us when our son went out and watched the cows, and told us that he had never heard a cow moo before!
Danielle was a great host. We didn't meet face-to-face, but she always responded immediately when we reached out to her.
If you are looking for a home away from home while you visit or explore locally, this is a great place to stay.
