Family Vacation
Stayed here a few days as part of larger vacation with my girlfriend, mother and dogs. The property is in a great location and only minutes from everything we like to do. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and had lots of well thought out extras, including for pets. We would definitely stay here again.

Just Wonderful!
My husband and I had a 3 day/2 night stay and enjoyed every minute of it. We loved the peace and tranquility of the big front porch and the gorgeous views of the rolling landscape and mountain. The upstairs loft/bedroom is enormous and very comfortable with a nice Eames chair for contemplating the view out the big picture windows. There were thoughtful extras - throw blankets, well stocked laundry room, extra bedding, abundant toiletries and the kitchen had spices and plenty of plastic wrap and ziplock bags for leftovers. It was only a few minutes' drive to both the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway and we took advantage of both. The hiking and overlook views are amazing as we had lovely cool, clear weather.

Beautiful Mountain Country Getaway
The host Wendy was very kind and quick to respond to us. This beautiful vacation cottage home has great views and awesome for seeing the stars and moon out the huge windows! The cottage was incredibly clean, organized and comfortable. It is ideally located to all that the Blue Ridge Mountains and Central VA have to offer. Worked out great for us to stay here as we have family that live on both sides of Afton Mountain that we were visiting.

Beautiful stay in the mountains.
We had the most enjoyable stay in the mountains of Virginia. Perfectly situated for an easy trip to Charlottesville, a hike in Shenandoah national park, a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and so many wineries and breweries. The house itself was fantastic on a beautiful piece of property. So clean, comfortable, with fantastic views. I couldn’t ask for more. Great hosts.
