About this property

Cottage, Pool, 300 Acres of Blue Ridge Mountains.

This is a luxurious cottage with pool about 1.5 hour drive from Charlottesville on 300 acres of woods, hills, and fields in Bath County, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect for a romantic weekend or family getaway, or teleworking. Beautiful and private.

The cottage consists of a huge window-filled kitchen/dining/living area, and a bedroom. The hardwood floors are spectacular rustic oak. The kitchen area has the latest appliances and red granite countertops. The living area has a gas fireplace with HDTV and DirectTV, a queen-sized sofa bed, and two twin folding memory foam mattresses. Internet is high bandwidth fiber optic.

The bedroom has a fireplace, big-screen TV and king-size bed with memory foam mattress.

The cottage sits alone in its own valley, and has spectacular hills, meadows, and woods. It features soaring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with over a mile of border with the beautiful George Washington National Forest.

Privacy and intimacy go along with the gorgeous landscape. You will be the only people on the property. From the entire farm, no other houses are visible, despite the stunning views of 20 miles or more. Deer, coyotes, a few bears, and eagles make their home on the farm.

Recreational Equipment: The fishing pond (stocked with catfish, bass and perch) has a paddle boat. Fishing rods available. There is a golf cart and mountain bikes. There are kayaks for use on the nearby Cow Pasture River, plus car racks.

There's a pool right outside your door, via a bridge from the deck to a jumping platform. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

To give you an idea of how large 300 acres is, it would take you about an hour to walk to the back of the farm. We gladly accept pets. The farm has always had pets, and they love it there.

The bathroom has marble floors, ceramic tiles, and a jetted tub with a view of the wilderness. The two-sided deck allows you to sip your morning coffee while looking out over the valley, watching the mist roll through.

Sleeping accommodations consist of a king-sized bed in the bedroom, a queen-sized sofa-bed, and two Twin XL 6" thick folding memory foam mattresses, which you can combine to make a king sized bed.

We also have a 220V charging cord and adapter for your Tesla.

Wander the farm to your heart's delight. Swim to your hearts content. Fish in the pond. Check out a nearby river swimming hole right out of Tom Sawyer. Careen about on the mountain bikes, electric bikes, or the golf cart. Go kayaking!

We had such a nice stay here for our anniversary. It was especially meaningful because we were able to come back to the area where we got engaged about 14 years ago. The cottage was peaceful and cozy, and it was wonderful having our little dogs with us, they really enjoyed their time here too. We loved being able to slow down, relax, and just enjoy being together. The owner was very kind and responsive, and we’d happily stay here again!

So grateful for this amazing, very clean, secluded property! The acreage, trails, woods, and wildlife are incredible. Check-in/out and farm access are very detailed. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the host was wonderfully responsive. We booked this for our dog’s 3rd birthday-has a dog run and even a golf cart so you can keep up while your pup explores. Two days wasn’t enough—we can’t wait to come back!

This pet friendly property had everything we needed. We were delighted to find lots of conveniences and fun recreational options here all thoughtfully supplied and accessible. All the kitchen appliances you could ask for, a jetted tub, fireplaces that actually work, and everything and very complete working order not to mention clean. Property was peaceful and quiet and we loved exploring the vast acreage with the bikes and golf cart.

Our stay was very relaxing. We enjoyed exploring the property on the golf cart and hanging out by the pool. My wife especially enjoyed sitting on the porch next to the hummingbird feeder and watching the hummingbirds.

This is one of the best places to stay to get away from it all, but still be connected if needed. The cottage has everything you could want and it's located in an area so quiet and peaceful. The dogs enjoyed their long walks and all the things to see. A picnic by the pond is so relaxing and sitting on the porch and looking at all the stars makes this place a real hidden gem. We will keep returning here.

We can't say enough good things about the property, the cottage, the host, the caretakers, and any other possible person or thing with our stay. We had an absolutely amazing time. The cottage is very nice, very clean, far more spacious than you'd think, and has basically everything and more that you could need for your stay. We are a family of four (2 adults w/2 teen boys) and there was plenty of room for sleeping and hanging out. The kitchen has every appliance you can think of. There were plenty of all linens, and plenty of places to sleep. Great internet as well. Wifi reaches all the way to the pool area. The property itself is extremely well taken care of. Sitting on the deck looking out at the property and the beautiful views is the right kind of relaxing in my opinion. The pool is fantastic! Very big, with a nice size shallow end for the little ones, and a very deep end for those willing to take a jump off of the platform. There is also a very nice area to relax around the pool. Exploring the property is just plain fun! 300 acres to yourself to adventure on is just awesome. If there wasn't a limit to how long a review can be on here I would write a small book about how fantastic this place is.Thank you to Jim, Essie and anyone else involved in making this place what it is. You guys are amazing! This was the best, and most relaxing vacation our family has had in a long time, and we truly appreciate you letting us rent your amazing property for the week.

My wife and I have been staying here for many years. It's a great place to relax. We enjoy the pool, reading books, the scenery and watching the hummingbirds and the deer. The location is very peaceful. The cottage is clean and comfortable. The host replies very quickly to any questions. Rock Roadhouse Winery and Bacova Brewing Co in Hot Springs and Big Fish Cidery in Monterey are our favorite places to visit.
