Hattingh Equine Rescue Launches Farm Cottage Stay to Support Rescued Horses

Purcellville, Virginia – Hattingh Equine Rescue & Rehab Inc is introducing a unique new way for the community to support rescued horses — by booking a peaceful countryside getaway. We call the cottage 'A slice of heaven'

Located in the rolling hills of Purcellville, the newly launched Hattingh Equine Rescue Farm Cottage offers a private two-bedroom, one-bath retreat set beside the nonprofit’s working rescue farm. Guests can relax by a private pool, gather around a fire pit under open skies, and wake to the sight and sound of horses grazing just beyond the porch.

Unlike traditional short-term rentals, every stay directly supports the rehabilitation, veterinary care, and daily feed costs of rescued horses.

“Our mission has always been to give horses a second chance,” said Michele Hattingh, founder of Hattingh Equine Rescue & Rehab Inc. “This farm stay allows guests to be part of that mission while enjoying the beauty and serenity of Virginia wine country.”

Guests may visit the barn while a staff member is present to learn about the rescue’s work and meet some of the horses whose lives are being transformed.

The cottage sleeps up to four guests and is located minutes from Loudoun County wineries, breweries, hiking trails, and historic downtown Purcellville, making it an ideal weekend retreat for couples, families, and small groups.

Hattingh Equine Rescue hopes the farm stay will create a sustainable revenue stream that strengthens long-term rescue efforts while deepening community connection to animal welfare.

The guests will find pictures of the horses that they may want to sponsor and become part of their lives .we have added a play area for little ones. Plus a hammock for the caregiver
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Michele’s cottage! I didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. The cottage was so beautiful, cozy, and comfortable. We slept so well in the peaceful countryside. I was traveling with my toddler and Michele thought of everything we might need. She was so sweet and had a little toddler bed all ready for him, plus a bin of coloring books & crayons, a few toys/stuffies, reading books and games. I had a few slightly odd requests and she accommodated them all. She even had a little surprise tricycle and an outdoor bin of fun kids sports equipment. We didn’t get to use the pool because it rained most of the time but it looked very clean and inviting. We loved seeing the happy horses frolic about in the beautiful pasture and my son had fun feeding them a few apples. The goats and other animals were cute and fun to interact with as well. Thank you again Michele for a wonderful stay! Can’t wait to come back for another stay someday.

Michele and her husband were fantastic hosts! We loved staying at their mountain retreat Michele’s care for her animals is evident, and she was gracious to let us spend time with the horses as well, and learn all their unique stories. We came here for a quiet bachelorette party. It was close to many winery’s, the Appalachian trail and Harper’s Ferrry. Everyone in our party agreed we would love to visit again someday! If you’re looking for a quiet comfortable clean place in a mountain setting, with the added bonus of enjoying being around horses. This is the place for you.
