A little about us …

 

The Innkeepers

Ward and Barb Halligan lived in New Jersey and worked at AT&T-Bell Labs. They realized it was time for a change and pursued their dream of living in the country; giving up corporate life to move to a slower pace of life in Virginia. They benefited greatly from their graphic arts background and education to help transform a simple country farm into what is now Cherith Hall and CornerStone Farm today.

 

The Halligans purchased CornerStone Farm in 2001 and since that time, they have made many significant restorations to the property while maintaining its natural beauty and its agricultural heritage.

 

Both the Inn and Cherith Hall sit on hills overlooking pastures and features a one-acre pond east of the house. Agriculturally, this land has been, and continues in agriculture of some sort for over 100 years. It continues today as a breeding farm of rare and exhibition quality livestock.

The tranquil farm setting provides the perfect backdrop for country weddings or parties – whether your style is best expressed by an enchanting barn wedding or an intimate garden ceremony surrounded by patchwork fields. Situated on 92 picturesque acres, in a pastoral setting, surrounded by natural landscaping and forests, they have transformed the farm into a tradition of:
* Peace and tranquility
* Unconditional hospitality
* Fine food, and
* Comfortable accommodations.

Cherith Hall is particularly appropriate for small intimate events and celebrations, up to 100 guests. However, larger events can be accommodated, up to 200 guests, on the extensive lawn.
