About this property

CEDAR LANE - Private Cottage, Sophisticated Country Charm

Located just one mile from Middleburg, you’ll find this stunning two-bedroom, one-level house with an open floor plan perfect whether you’re in town for a wedding, a honeymoon, a weekend getaway, or just private accommodations in the country.

Middleburg is in Orange County Hunt Territory and is a horse lover’s paradise, with foxhunting, polo, driving, showing, racing, and eventing all here. Ask about horse stalls and turn out if interested. Our road is popular for walking dogs, afternoon runs and an occasional horse in harness pulling a cart or trail riders.

The area is also of interest to wine connoisseurs, with a number of vineyards nearby that are open for tastings and tours.

Or, you can explore the village of Middleburg, just a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk away. We are also close to Upperville, Marshall, and The Plains, which have their own unique shops and restaurants.

Whatever you choose to do, you’ll return to your private oasis after a busy day. Gather on the front flagstone porch in the cool of the pine and cedar trees, or watch the sun set as you grill on the new back deck with a view of the stable and surrounding pastures. Slowly unwind as you take in the feeling of a Virginia afternoon fading into evening.

When you enter the house, you’ll be greeted by the open, light-filled living room and dining area.

To the left of the living and dining areas, you’ll find an up to date, fully equipped kitchen with lots of counter space, where you can prep special cuts from one of several local butchers or concoct something delicious with local produce found at the nearby farmers markets.

There are two bedrooms. One King size bed can be broken apart into two XL twin beds if needed.. The second bedroom is set up with a pair of antique cannonball twin beds made up with cozy toile bedding.

There is a very large closet in the master bedroom that that has a window and can be set up with a crib, if desired.

A large and well-appointed full bathroom with large vanity and storage and walk in shower is off the master bedroom. There is another half bath down the hall.

We hope you’ll join us in Middleburg for some of your favorite country pursuits!

Added Amenity:
There is a completely separate lower level apartment. Access is separate and car parking is separate and not visible from upstairs. It was once occupied by a senior writer for the Chronicle of the Horse.

This apartment has been remodeled and is available as an add on for this property or as a separate unit. It is has its own living space with small kitchen, large and newly remodeled bathroom with walk in glass shower, and vanity with lots of counter space. The bedroom has a queen bed, walk in closet, washer and dryer and a large desk for a work space.

The parking is tucked away behind a great deal of landscaping and separate also from the upper level. The HVAC units are separate and there is heavy duty insulation between the floors.

If you have questions about this, be sure to ask.

The reviews will let you know that every guest feels completely secluded and private and in love with their own little oasis.

We keep a mowed path around the 3 acre property that makes for a nice little walk with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Parsons Road is another wonderful shaded walk, jog or bike ride.

Perfect peaceful getaway

We were very happy with our stay. We were very happy with how clean the property was and how easy it was to find. It's very close to the restaurant and shopping. We will use this property again and again or a weekend away from the city. Thank you for a great stay.

Wonderful late winter/early spring getaway

Cedar Cottage is a lovely destination - took my daughter there for her 19th birthday- and dear friends surprised her for dinner and cake! Wonderful property and home. The fireplace was a great addition. Comfortable beds, chic and minimalist decor, and quiet locale.

Lovely Home Away from Home!

Located in the quiet countryside just outside Middleburg, this cottage served as our lovely "home away from home," for a week in October. The completely updated cottage was very comfortable for 4 adults, including comfortable seating and beds, beautiful views, and a great location for visiting wineries and cideries. The newly updated kitchen was great for preparing a quiet meal at home after a long day of activities. We loved our stay and hope to return again someday soon.

Serene + Centrally Located

Such a serene cottage nestled in the countryside, but close to quaint Middleburg. Was in town for an event, so didn’t spend too much time on the property. But it was a very comfortable stay when we were at the cottage. The house is beautiful and comfortable with a ton of privacy. I think 2- 4 is the ideal number of people for this property, since there is only one shower and it’s located in the master bedroom. The cottage is located down a sedluded gravel road - which for the city girl added to the adventure (especially when coming home at night). But after a few nights I got used to it.

Well maintained house with pretty gardens

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cedar Cottage. The house was clean, convenient to Middleburg, and served us well. It was nice to be able to grill on the back deck. The dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer proved to be very useful. Our very favorite aspect though was the picturesque windows and beautiful nearby gardens. We hope to come back!

Perfect getaway

What a beautiful home! From the scenic tree lined driveway to the meticulous garden, this Middleburg home has it all. Missy was kind and thoughtful to send suggestions for kid friendly activities. We loved our stay at her super clean home and so did our kids who needed the getaway in the middle of the pandemic. We hope to be back!

Perfection

We had the loveliest weekend at Cedar Lane Cottage. The property is magical, the house was comfortable, clean, updated and very pretty to boot, and it was conveniently located. An easy drive or long walk to town, while still maintaining the feel of a true countryside escape - stars and fireflies at night, birds chirping and deer grazing in the morning. We hope to return soon!

Quiet Piece of Heaven

Beautiful home. We attended an event at a nearby resort that kept us pretty busy so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the property as much as we had liked. However, the property was as described. We didn't hear anything and slept like babies. Thanks for a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Missy Janes

Host profile image
A native of the area, I grew up on ponies, fox hunting, and competition, and then raised a family and repeated the joys of country life with my children.

I am passionate about good stewardship of the land and conservation, and wrote a handbook called "Life in the Country," available locally. I belong to the garden club which is a member of the Garden Club of America and the Garden Club of Virginia. As an avid gardener, I have created naturalized gardens around a stream and two ponds.

When not in the garden, I work as a professional photographer doing portraits, weddings, gardens and landscapes, and travel photography.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property many years ago to protect the land. Over the past year, I gutted it entirely for my mother who has since decided she is not yet ready to downsize. I remodeled it to be something I would love, myself, and have had such fun fixing it up and starting some gardens. The house is conveniently located on the east side of town, which is easy for access to DC and Dulles airport, but we are still a true country house.

What makes this property unique

Being so close to town yet next to open conservation land and on a country road is amazing. My children's grandmother lives over the river and through the woods, literally. If you love birds, the night sky, or small town charm you will love Middleburg.
