The cottage is in a rural setting off the main road(Old Route 60, now called Midland Trail Road) and easy access parking for several vehicles, cars, trucks, and or trailers. It sits on 4 acres bordered by Ogles Creek, US Interstate 64, and Midland Trail Road. Basic shopping and gas are available within 2 miles of the house plus a bakery within close driving range.

Dogs over 75 lbs are discouraged and birds are prohibited.

My husband and I booked this place because we wanted to see some sights around Lewisburg and Covington and drive to the Cass scenic Railway about 1.5 hours away . By the way , if you go there, bring a map because you lose GPS when you get closer to it , but highly recommend ! We had great weather the whole time , easy access to different places , including taking a tour of The Greenbrier Hotel. The groundskeeper of this cottage , Natalie, was very friendly and informative . We were cool with the air and warm with the baseboard heater . Place was clean and bed comfortable ! I’m a light sleeper , so if you are too, bring ear plugs or some kind of white noise because the road noise from the highway at night is the only negative about our stay . Otherwise , a very nice stay !

Cozy

A cute little cabin in a good location for our needs. Many things to do all over the place from the cabin. There is road noise both from Interstate 64 and from Midland Trail on both sides of the property, but it wasn't bothersome. To sleep and in the evenings was the only time spent at the cabin, so much to see around the area. Overall, we had a very nice six night stay.

cozy cottage and great yard

We had a great time. We came up for a weekend of fly fishing and hiking with our dog. The huge fenced-in yard made that a pleasure rather than a challenge. As other reviewers have noted, it's great to sit on the front porch and watch the dog run around/explore. And the bread from the local bakery that was there when we arrived was a very nice treat. Sandra and Natalie were great hosts. We were fly fishing 10 minutes away; so, this was a perfect location for us. It's also close to Lewisburg if you want to head over for more restaurants. We mostly enjoyed relaxing here. Other reviews have noted the noise from cars--the cottage sits 20-30 back from the road it's on, and 64 is fairly close. Yes, you can hear cars, but it didn't bother us at all. We will definitely come back and stay again if we're in the area again!

It was okay

The house was a nice little get away from daily life. However it was dirty, we had to clean and clean just to enjoy without worrying about stepping on something or our dog eating cigarette butts off the floor. There were previous piles of dog defecation in the yard. Bag of open chips under the bed. Small things that made it a nuisance. The highway sounds were nice to hear as background and at night the stars were amazing. Its within range to stores and things to see. Just needed cleaned.

Lovely little house!

We had a wonderful stay in this sweet little house! Natalie is a perfect host and very helpful! We had everything we needed for our stay and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was! The fenced in yard was fabulous and our dogs loved being able to play and run while we enjoyed sitting on the porch. The fresh bread and flowers were a lovely surprise as well. I highly recommend this great little house and we hope to visit again soon!

Nice Little College

Cottage was very clean and tidy with everything I needed for my stay! Though there is road noise, don’t let it deter you from selecting this little house. I did not even notice the road noise at night. I will definitely stay here again!

Great little cabin!

We were in the area to go fly-fishing on the Jackson River. This cabin was conveniently located and very clean and comfortable. The porch area was a little noisy due to the nearby highways, but it was still very pleasant to sit there and look at the stars in the evening - and when it was time to sleep, the bedroom was quiet. The fresh flowers and peanut butter cookies were a really nice touch.

Beautiful Area

This rental is in a very beautiful area. You must check out the stars at night. It is very close to many parks and hiking trails. Lots to do. It is also very close to some good eats but we did cook and eat in a few nights because we enjoyed the place so much. Dog friendly and very easy check in and check out procedure.

Cute cottage, inaccurate listing description of policy

We really liked the cottage for what it is. It is very cute and well maintained. However, we specifically looked for a property where we could have our dogs with us. This listing states that the property is pet friendly and allows pets for an extra fee per pet. We booked it and paid the extra pet fees. Upon arrival, there was a note on the bedroom door that stated "no dogs in the bedroom." This stipulation was not anywhere on the listing, nor was it on the extra information sheet sent to us after booking. There was only the living room and the bedroom to this cottage. So we paid the extra pet fees for the entire cottage, but our dogs were only allowed in half of it. We found this unacceptable after having paid the extra pet fees. Had this been made clear in the description, we would have chosen a different property. The other reviews mentioned noise from the highway, but I didn't realize it was so close that I could throw a stone to one side and land on the interstate, and to the other side and land on a busy road. Not quite the quiet country retreat we were envisioning. The tradeoff is that our dogs loved the big fenced yard. We enjoyed seeing them run and play without a leash.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Bradley

Host profile image
I am a native Virginian, did my undergraduate work at JMU in Art Ed. in Harrisonburg, and received my Masters in Art Therapy at LMU, and have been living in LA for the last 30 years. This little cottage I built on a property that I purchased from My Mother's estate and was going to be my retreat when visiting back home. After my mother passed, I took over her original home and manage it now as a vacation rental and have added this cottage as a new listing. It is a sweet little get-a-way place in which to retreat, read or write or just catch up with time away from life's chaos. My family and friends love to use the cottage when they get a chance. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the location and the many surrounding points of interest that draw many to the area every year.

Why they chose this property

It's convenient to many points of interest in Alleghany and Greenbrier Counties. It is small and intimate and a perfect place for a single person alone or with their bestie or a couple alone or with 2 small kids. Pets are allowed.

What makes this property unique

It's an open concept cottage. Simple and easy access and plenty of parking. Sits on 4 acres of flat land for games. Has approximately one acre of fenced yard for the safety of your pets and children with a two-gate entrance and a trail to the creek is at the far end of the property. Horses and goats in adjoining fields. Has a nice porch where you face the creek and can sit to watch the sun go down. It's a much better solution for a couple of nights over a single hotel room in the nearest town for a similar price.
