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.

This cabin had all the things! The creek, the covered bridge over the creek and the caboose were fantastic. It was so pleasant to sit by the creek and listen to the water flow over the rocks. Serenity!The house had everything you would need to cook a meal and there were plenty of dishes if you needed them. The bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. The firewood was a plus (thank you) and we had 2 fires while there. Hungry Mother State Park is about 30 minutes away in Marion and it is a very nice place to hike trails, ride bikes or lounge on the beach. The Hungry Mother Grill has THE best cheeseburgers at a very reasonable price. If you like Italian, you must try Pizza Perfect for their pizza and spaghetti. Delish!This cabin was nice and we are ready to come back! See you soon!

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

Perfect place to relax

My fiancé and I decided to take a long weekend and go somewhere new. We plan trips spontaneously and pick random places that are within 6 hour drive from home. This property fit everything we were looking for, it is secluded, peaceful and so relaxing. I felt recharged after staying here. Beautiful scenery, laid back environment. If you’re looking for a change of pace, to slow down and recharge this is the perfect place. We will definitely be back.

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!
