Wonderful Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at Athlon, from the picturesque property and house, to the amenities and proximity to so many day trips. Cindy was a gracious host who went above and beyond, and thought through all the details. We can’t wait to get back.

Thank you, Ryan! You and your beautiful, sweet family were a joy to host (in spite of the terrible storm that welcomed you)! We would love to host you again any time.

We’ll be back

A great place for a small family to stay! We liked everything about it. The stairs are steep — almost more of a ladder — so unless kids are a little older or good at obeying their parents, I’d offer a bit of caution is required. But the cottage was quiet and lovely for our 2-day visit to Sweet Briar College, especially since lodging was hard to find. Communication with the manager was clear and easy via SMS and email. Look no further!
