When it comes to planning a family reunion, choosing the right location is key. You want a place that’s beautiful, comfortable, convenient for everyone, and packed with things to do. Montfair Resort Farm checks every box, and more. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia, Montfair is one of the best locations for family reunions in the state, offering nature, charm, and comfort in equal measure. Whether you’re brainstorming family reunion ideas or scouting the best family reunion venues, Montfair offers a setting that brings people together and creates lasting memories.
A Central Location for Families Traveling from All Directions
One of the biggest challenges when planning a family reunion is finding a destination that works for everyone. Montfair is ideally located just 30 minutes from the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport and is a scenic, easy drive from major cities like Washington D.C., Richmond, Virginia Beach, Raleigh, and parts of Maryland. That makes it a perfect “meet in the middle” option for far-flung families seeking a central spot to reconnect.
