Fern Cottage was perfect for our girl trip to visit some local wineries, shop, relax and have a lot of laughs together. The house was spacious, very clean and Holly was always quick to answer any questions I sent her by text. We’re already talking about returning again next fall.

Roomy, modern, updated

I hosted a bridal shower at Merrie Mill Farm and Vineyard. This property is so close to several vineyards. It was also very close to family we have in the area. It was roomy, modern, beautiful. We would definitely try to stay again.

A Perfect Stay in Gordonsville

We had a group of six adults and three toddlers. The house was perfect for us! So much room to spread out and a full carpeted basement for the kids to play. The beds are all extremely comfortable and the home is clean and well stocked. Our host, Holly, was communicative and helpful with our questions. We look forward to staying at Fern Cottage again!

A New Favorite

We were in town for a wedding and stayed at this property with family. It was so clean and well decorated. The shared spaces are open. The beds were very comfortable. The owners have great touches, like tons of games and puzzles. And a fire pit out back! This is a fantastic house.

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at Fern Cottage! We stayed-my husband and I, along with our five children. Everything was clean, there was room for everyone, a great set up downstairs for the kids to play in, and the fire pit was a fun feature to use at night. The only suggestion I would make is to add more pans, mixing bowls and utensils -such as an ice cream scoop ! We would absolutely recommend this place and be eager to stay here again if we are in the area! Thank you, Holly!

I also appreciate your feedback on the kitchen supplies—we’ve already made a note to add more pans, mixing bowls, and yes… an ice cream scoop! We'd love to welcome you all back anytime you're in the area. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us! —Holly, Pathway Properties

We loved the openness of the living space. The house was clean and kitchen had everything we needed! We liked the fact that the backyard had a fire pit but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it! Holly was amazing in responding when we discovered we didn’t have heat!

We're glad you enjoyed the open living space and found the kitchen well stocked. Sorry you didn't get a chance to use the fire pit, but hopefully next time! It was a pleasure helping with the heat issue, and we're happy we could get things sorted out for you.

Great house and perfect setting

Family reunion with 8 originally coming and 6 staying at the house. Great layout, equipped kitchen, clean and spacious. Attractively landscaped and supportive WiFi. Easy, convenient drive to Gordonsville, Downtown Charlottesville, Zion's Crossroads and multiple wineries. Due to rain didn't try the horse back riding trail. Host was a call away, but not needed. Would stay again!!

Great space! Rented this property for 3 nights as we had a wedding in Troy. We were a family of 7, all adults. The kitchen was fully equipped which I always appreciate. Trash was easy. House WiFi was great and much needed as our phones were out of service a lot. It’s a new home so everything is perfect, neat and easy to manage.
