Mini retreat

We were lucky enough to spend two weeks at Nonny Cottage last year while my kids were at camp nearby. We loved it so much we had to return. I love the library and the quiet mornings watching deer. Thank you for sharing this space with us.

Lovely Mountain Stay

My sister and I stayed here for a weekend away in the mountain, this was the perfect spot. I would suggest bringing shampoo and body wash but other than that the amenities were perfect and it’s the coziest place

Cute place

Cute place. We really liked it. Only “issue” we had was that the pest control guy stopped in unannounced to grab a trap of some sort while we were playing cards. Knock at the door made us nervous because place is kind of secluded. It was fine just unexpected and wasn’t sure if we were supposed to let the guy in or not.

Cozy Cottage

Adorable, cozy cottage in a convenient location. We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiked Crabtree Falls and stopped by the local breweries. Cottage is super clean. We also enjoyed the wood burning stove and outdoor firepit.

Quiet Retreat

My daughter and I absolutely loved our stay at Nonny Cottage. It was so peaceful to sit on the porch each morning and enjoy coffee while watching the deer! We took full advantage of the property's proximity to several trailheads. We love Crabtree Falls and even ventured to the Natural Bridge in Lexington. It was so nice to enjoy such a peaceful escape. The cottage was comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and loved being able to sleep with the windows open! Thank you fo a beautiful stay. We would love to visit again.

Peaceful stay in the mountains

The house is adorable. Every little comfort has been thought about and provided. From the couch to the bedding, it felt like a home. The outside is fabulous. Woods and a great firepit made the nights fun and full of laughter. We spent the days hiking the AT or enjoying a good book, that we found from the ample selection, on the shelves inside. There are no complaints, just thanks for such a wonderful stay.

Clean!

This is the perfect little place to disconnect. There is definitely no cell service or wifi and the tv only plays DVDs. It was super clean and well stocked even with hand soap, dish detergent, toilet paper and paper towels. It was only 10 minutes from Crabtree Falls. We loved it!

Lovely

Great place to stay! Clean,comfortable and very safe So quiet. Only suggestions I would make is putting in directions that you turn into Twin Pond Drive 😊 on the right. Took us a bit to figure that out! Hope we can be guest again in the near future. PS Diesel the dachshund our pup loved the yard and squirrels 🐿️ He was very amused. Thank you!

Rustic, Mountaintop Experience

We rented this cottage for a week while we were moving from Staunton. It was clean. Driving back and forth to our home in Staunton was too long, especially on the mountain roads. No cell service, no internet--we were told. But we didn't expect the front door handle to come off. For several days we couldn't lock the door--this was fixed quickly. The bed was too high for my wife to get on and off--she feared falling off when she slept. This was indeed a rustic, mountain top experience.

Looks are deceiving!

The cottage has a lot of positives, however we experienced multiple negatives. -The electrical service had some issues and there was no hot water. We let the property manager know upon arrival. - the next afternoon when they came to mow the very long grass they were able to get most of the lights working. The man mowing was unable to get the hot water heater to work and indicated they would have to call someone. -Pest control showed up while we were there! -We had no other contact with the property manager. Apparently they were not concerned about our lack of hot water for our entire 4 night stay. - The place was very hard to find, the backporch light did not work until the breaker was replaced. - My husband and I both missed the step coming off the raised platform on the deck and fell. My husband hurt his knee and my head hit the grill resulting in a very bloody gash to my head. -The refrigerator door does not seal properly and we had to find a prop to keep the door closed. And the kitchen ceiling fan and light did not work. -The 4 poster bed is ridiculously high and we did not sleep in it,

Fabulous Mountain Getaway

The nonny cottage had everything my husband and I needed for our off the grid fall trip to celebrate his birthday and our wedding anniversary. The cottage was close the the hiking trails we wanted to explore and not too far out we couldn't travel into town for a nice dinner celebration for his birthday, the Southern Inn in Lexington was superb. Thanks for the fabulous stay!

Totally Unplugged

Lovely home with all the necessities. If seclusion, quiet and unplugged is your thing, them this is for you. There is no wifi or cable but there is a land line if you need to contact anyone. The weather was awesome for us and the fall foliage was beautiful. It's just a short drive to the Blueridge Parkway. We loved our stay and the dogs we brought with us loved it as well. Very relaxing!

Vesuvius

It was a lovely, clean, and comfortable place. There was a party across the way that stayed loud pretty late, but we were able to tune them out and enjoy the fire pit both nights. Only bummer was that the grill did not have gas so we were unable to grill out.
