Quick Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather to sit outside and enjoy the lovely outdoor space (and meeting the flock!). The cottage itself was so cute and comfortable, with such a fun decorative vibe. Quick responses for any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

What makes this property unique

Hometract Cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is believed to be one of the oldest structures in Ivy, built around 1800. The cottage may have served as general store for travelers on the historic Three Notch'd Road. Originally a single room on a fieldstone basement, the cottage was expanded last century to include a bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The door is the original reinforced panel door, believed to have been installed to secure the products in the General Store. Most windows are original with the waves and bubbles that characterize century old glass.
