About this property

Spacious Cottage. Lovely Shenandoah Valley Views. Near Lexington And Staunton.

The Rose Cottage is a comfortable home, centrally located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, just north of the Village of Fairfield. It is conveniently situated very near Interstate 81, Interstate 64, and US Route 11 (an interesting easy-to-drive highway that stretches from New Orleans all the way to the Canadian border, linking a multitude of cities and small towns along the way).

You must provide confirmation for all guests of full Covid vaccinations. We have a number of family members who are especially vulnerable.

The property, secluded but not isolated, boasts magnificent views of the night sky, (see deep sky photos taken by our wonderful guest, Dave Morgan, from the Cottage), walking trails winding through our twenty acres of woodlands, bird and wildlife viewing, and a relaxing rural lifestyle experience.

A well appointed kitchen with dining area (should you take a notion to have a quiet meal at home or entertain a few friends), flows into a roomy living area with plenty of room for reading, watching a movie or listening to music. The living room opens directly onto a large outdoor deck, with a charcoal grill and seating for outdoor dining. The deck provides expansive views of pastureland, woods, and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains - a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and newspaper or to unwind at the end of the day with a picnic supper or nightcap.

The home has central air conditioning and heat.

The living room contains a television and a well-stocked selection of DVDs for your enjoyment. The Cottage offers hi-speed fiber optic internet and a generous television program. There is also an eclectic reading library for quiet evenings.

The main floor consists of three bedrooms, one with a queen bed and a private bath and dressing area. Two roomy bedrooms at the other end of the home share a full bath. One of those bedrooms is equipped with a full size bed. The other has two twin beds.

Beautiful location, great house
My family and I had a great stay here. The house was very nice and well-stocked, the yard and view were great, and we especially loved that we were able to bring our 2 dogs. It was a total of 5 adults, and there was plenty of room.

Why they chose this property

Rose Cottage is a comfortable, quiet and spacious home with beautiful views of rolling fields and the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is access to a woodland path for those who enjoy a relaxing walk. The night sky is amazing.

What makes this property unique

The Rose Cottage is one minute away from US Rt. 11, about 5 minutes from Interstate 81/64, and yet it is very private. It sits in a rural neighborhood at the end of a lane with only two other homes. The Cottage is midway between the historic small cities of Lexington and Staunton, each about a twenty minute drive. Four Rockbridge County colleges (Washington & Lee University, Virginia Military Institute, Southern Virginia University, and Dabney S. Lancaster Community College) provide a depth of cultural events and entertainment not often experienced in small towns. In Staunton, Mary Baldwin College is prominently situated in the town. The entire area is rich in natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities.
