Great location, wonderful history!

This property is located out of the way, but also near enough to a lot of the areas you likely want to visit if you're staying in Northern Virginia. It was quiet, and the sense of history from the decor and background of the property is inspiring.

This was a nice, quiet stay in the woods close to hikes, a brewery with music and a view, and farm stands. It had everything we needed, and the hosts are easy to get ahold of and responsive. I will say that if you plan to cook during your stay, the kitchen food prep space in this home is very limited. I was glad I was only preparing coffee and sandwiches for picnic lunches. The other thing to know is that as a 120-year-old wooden house, it may bother people with allergies. Overall, we had a great stay.

Beautiful House in a Beautiful Location

My friends and I were looking for a charming home to enjoy a relaxing, stress-free weekend—and we couldn't have come across a better home than this one! The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, and even arranged to have the wood stove in the living room going when we arrived. Can't recommend this cozy home enough!

Zak and his friends were wonderful guests. We were so happy to see that they enjoyed the firepit when the weather cleared, and the wood stove on their arrival. These are the kind of guests who make us happy that we keep the house available to rent. Hope they’ll return next Fall!

Peaceful and lovely patch of heaven!

Beth and I are in Philly now, but both wish we were still in Marcia and Bill’s lovely cottage. The location is a perfect tonic for anyone wanting a peaceful refuge in the woods. The cottage is clean and well-equipped, and our nearby hosts made us feel welcome. The property is a short drive to great hiking on the AT, and close enough to several National Parks and historical sites. We loved to coming home each evening to grill out and enjoy the sounds of nature.

Perfect place for mini-reunion with friends!

Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful, secluded setting. Perfect for a weekend reunion with three long-time friends! The cottage provided a warm and welcoming refuge after each day of cycling in the country. With a wood stove (kindly lit by the hosts prior to our arrival!), fire pit, deck, screened-in porch, and an ample dining room with farmhouse style table, we had multiple settings for relaxing over good conversation, taking refreshment, and just catching up. And, not to be forgotten, the beds were extremely comfortable (also important after long rides!). BTW, Dirt Farm Brewery and Bluemont Station Brewery and Winery were two of our post-ride favorites and very convenient! And last, but not least, our hosts were exemplary in their hospitality and are to be commended for saving and restoring this historic property for others to experience. A-plus plus!

Get stay for local wedding

Beautiful house! Loved the porch, the lawn, the tire swing, and unfortunately we didn't have enough time to use the fire pit. It was a perfect place for our family to stay while attending a wedding. And Marcia was very communicative and lovely.

Pleasant little antique cottage in the woods with an interestingly charming story . Comfy beds, kitchen had all we needed. Host was very attentive . House had a musty odor once inside, but after opening a few windows it seemed to dissipate.

Great Experience

We couldn’t have asked for better hosts in Marcia and Bill. They were so nice and hospitable and really helped make the trip a success. Their attention to detail was on full display throughout the house. We have 4 kids under 8 and they loved every minute of the huge backyard, swing, and family time without a TV (they enjoyed the record player and lots of puzzles and games). As an added bonus the house has some neat history that you can learn about. Can’t recommend this home enough, top notch if you want a great “country” experience.

Weekend Getaway

Four of us headed to B Chord Brewing to see a concert and were lucky enough to find this unique, charming rental to make for a fun weekend getaway. While there was plenty to do in the surrounding area (breweries, wineries, corn mazes, hikes), we spent a majority of our time hanging around the cabin as it offered a cozy place to relax, while enjoying the beauty and crisp-air of the autumnal outdoors. While the cabin is situated in a highly-tourist area, it is set back and quaint enough to make you forget about the hussle and bustle of its surroundings. (We were there during peak leaf-peeping season). We would definitely stay again - rustic charm and modern comforts made this an A+ stay.

Great Place for a Getaway

My friends and I loved everything about Bishop's Gate. The house was charming, clean and very welcoming. We were able to enjoy the peace and quiet and the smore's on the bonfire was a fun touch. The location is perfect and so close to wineries. We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends.
