About this property

Lovely cottage by stream with caboose and covered bridge over trout stream

There's nothing like relaxing on the porch swing at this quaint 2-bedroom cottage in Sugar Grove, Virginia, (near Wytheville) listening to the stream rush over the rocks. Watch our resident ducks, and then take a dip in the private swimming hole. Kids (and kids at heart) love the caboose in the yard, complete with it's own half bath. There's a big lawn for playing, great hikes nearby, plenty of fly fishing in the area, and the cottage is in walking distance to the beautiful Grayson Highlands Horse trail. Good WiFi, Direct TV (or bring your own Fire Stick), and cell phones will work if you connect them through the WiFi. The kitchen has everything you need, and a washer and dryer are available. Great spot for hunters, or for anyone that just wants to get away for a while. Borders Jefferson National forest.

Family fishing weekend

The accommodations were perfect. It was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. The beds and furniture were comfortable. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. The caboose and covered bridge were charming and the area was perfect to explore. Would definitely stay here again- we all enjoyed it.

Weekend Getaway

The family loved the property. The caboose was great for pictures. We don’t get to see the ducks but saw lots of little fish. We were able to cook every night with no issues. We grilled out and used the stove/over. Would stay again if we are in the area.

A great family friendly cabin!

We loved our stay here! Check in was easy and we had good communication with the owner, Roger. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable including fast internet, tv, cooking utensils and comfortable beds. The kids loved the property, especially feeding the ducks, playing in the caboose and exploring the creek. The firepit and propane grill were also great. We made great family memories here and would definitely enjoy coming back someday.

Sisters Retreat

It was such a relaxing weekend with no big plans just enjoying the solitude and beauty. We had recently mourned the passing of our fifth sister at the age of 90, so we had lots of time for reflection on our past travels. The accommodations were perfect. We enjoyed meals at Joey’s iin Rural Retreat and the Dutch Pantry’. Thanks again for our lovely stay

Remote but pleasant

Property as discribed, well equipped but do bring personal movies or web devices if necessary. Remember where you are if wildlife is a concern. Brief encounter with small timber rattlesnake right at the cottage. Only reason mentioned is concern for children and anyone easily excited.

Pictures don't do it justice!

The property is absolutely beautiful! The water is crystal clear, and the ducks are stunning! The caboose is heated and spacious. Hopefully, next time we can bring our grandson who would have flipped over the toys inside. Everything is so prepared in the house. Plenty of pillows, blankets, places to sleep. Upon our arrival, the house was illuminated with the fireplace. It was so beautiful. The notes on the table explained everything. It was so easy, start to finish. We will definitely be back, as my parents absolutely loved this as their anniversary meetup from myself and husband!

Relax, unplug, and enjoy

My husband and I are both business owners and we were looking to just get away from it all, and this property did just that. If you are looking for five star accommodations, this is not your place, but if you are looking for one of the most relaxing, peaceful and comforting places to spend a weekend or more this is where you want to be! The kitchen is small but accommodated us with no problem. The furnishings are older but very comfortable. It was much cooler there in the mountains than at home, but there was no shortage of blankets for us to cuddle up with both on the porch swing and inside. We enjoyed feeding the fish and the ducks breakfast and dinner every day, and had a nice little fire in the fire pit outback. We will definitely visit this property again, most likely with friends and for a longer stay!

Neat Place

My wife and I enjoyed the house. The description online was very accurate. The caboose outside was really cool (I have no idea how they got that thing in there). Sitting on the porch in the morning and sipping my coffee while listening to the stream was amazing (we had abysmal weather as it rained heavily each day we were there so the stream was moving fast). The house had everything you would need. I am not sure they provide soap and shampoo but there was a few samples that looked like they were from a hotel (I assumed it was from a past guest, but I could be wrong). The kitchen had everything you need and the grill fired up on the 1st try. The place is definitely remote (roughly 20-25 minutes off of I-80) so I would suggest buying grocery’s before you arrive. We did enjoy our stay.

Virginia cabin

Problems with electric. Some of which were caused by the prior storm. I had contacted the host to make sure everything was ok and I was told just a few trees down. Actually the electric mast was damaged. And we found this out when we returned from town to find a man on the roof who was there to fix it and he told us that he hoped he could take care of it so we didn't have to leave.Gas fireplace doesn't work.the bathroom in the caboose doesn't work and the place is incredibly musty and moldy. It will give you breathing issues.No ducks, see prior reviews and definitely no where to kayak as the stream is filled with trees. Couldn't use the fire pit because the phone line is only about 5 ft directly over it. Oh and also the electric panel outside had sparks coming out of it. It needs a lot of TLC. rcrecommend this place. Give it a month of
