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.

Cottage was clean and creates a unique experience. Wifi worked well. Access is through a gravel road. Property is secluded and therefore creates a excellent atmosphere.

A fun house to stay in. The caboose, fishing bridge and stream were a very nice addition. Very quiet location. Along the road into the Mt Rogers Rec Area, so easy to hike or drive up into the Rec Area.We made day trips to Grayson Highlands, Sparta and Marion.Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay, even though it was cold. The host provided lots of space heaters to keep us warm. I wish we had brought the kids, they would have loved to have bunked in the caboose!

This was a great place to stay for a few days in the mountains. My son stayed in the creek and enjoying the water. A nice relaxing porch swing that overlooked the creek. We would stay here again (and probably will).

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.

We wanted to get away from the city this summer and this was the perfect place to find peace and nature. The house has different areas to sit and relax outside. Goal achieved!

We absolutely loved this charming little cottage. Our 5 and 6 yr old grandboys loved swimming in the creek and running in the big yard. Everybody thought the caboose was just the coolest thing. One of the boys' favorite things was making s'mores by the fire. We are already making plans for our next stay.
