cozy cottage and great yard
We had a great time. We came up for a weekend of fly fishing and hiking with our dog. The huge fenced-in yard made that a pleasure rather than a challenge. As other reviewers have noted, it's great to sit on the front porch and watch the dog run around/explore. And the bread from the local bakery that was there when we arrived was a very nice treat. Sandra and Natalie were great hosts. We were fly fishing 10 minutes away; so, this was a perfect location for us. It's also close to Lewisburg if you want to head over for more restaurants. We mostly enjoyed relaxing here. Other reviews have noted the noise from cars--the cottage sits 20-30 back from the road it's on, and 64 is fairly close. Yes, you can hear cars, but it didn't bother us at all. We will definitely come back and stay again if we're in the area again!

It was okay
The house was a nice little get away from daily life. However it was dirty, we had to clean and clean just to enjoy without worrying about stepping on something or our dog eating cigarette butts off the floor. There were previous piles of dog defecation in the yard. Bag of open chips under the bed. Small things that made it a nuisance. The highway sounds were nice to hear as background and at night the stars were amazing. Its within range to stores and things to see. Just needed cleaned.

Lovely little house!
We had a wonderful stay in this sweet little house! Natalie is a perfect host and very helpful! We had everything we needed for our stay and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was! The fenced in yard was fabulous and our dogs loved being able to play and run while we enjoyed sitting on the porch. The fresh bread and flowers were a lovely surprise as well. I highly recommend this great little house and we hope to visit again soon!

Cottage was very clean and tidy with everything I needed for my stay! Though there is road noise, don’t let it deter you from selecting this little house. I did not even notice the road noise at night. I will definitely stay here again!

Great little cabin!
We were in the area to go fly-fishing on the Jackson River. This cabin was conveniently located and very clean and comfortable. The porch area was a little noisy due to the nearby highways, but it was still very pleasant to sit there and look at the stars in the evening - and when it was time to sleep, the bedroom was quiet. The fresh flowers and peanut butter cookies were a really nice touch.

Beautiful Area
This rental is in a very beautiful area. You must check out the stars at night. It is very close to many parks and hiking trails. Lots to do. It is also very close to some good eats but we did cook and eat in a few nights because we enjoyed the place so much. Dog friendly and very easy check in and check out procedure.

Cute cottage, inaccurate listing description of policy
We really liked the cottage for what it is. It is very cute and well maintained. However, we specifically looked for a property where we could have our dogs with us. This listing states that the property is pet friendly and allows pets for an extra fee per pet. We booked it and paid the extra pet fees. Upon arrival, there was a note on the bedroom door that stated "no dogs in the bedroom." This stipulation was not anywhere on the listing, nor was it on the extra information sheet sent to us after booking. There was only the living room and the bedroom to this cottage. So we paid the extra pet fees for the entire cottage, but our dogs were only allowed in half of it. We found this unacceptable after having paid the extra pet fees. Had this been made clear in the description, we would have chosen a different property. The other reviews mentioned noise from the highway, but I didn't realize it was so close that I could throw a stone to one side and land on the interstate, and to the other side and land on a busy road. Not quite the quiet country retreat we were envisioning. The tradeoff is that our dogs loved the big fenced yard. We enjoyed seeing them run and play without a leash.

Peaceful and homey for a solo trip
Great spot to have a getaway and enjoy the mountains. The hosts were attentive and responsive, and the bread and flowers were a welcome touch. Close proximity to hiking (I spent a lot of time in Douthat Sate Park, about 30 minute drive) and nearby towns. Lexington, Sulpher Springs, and Lewisburg were fun to check out, lots of cute shops. The Asylum makes a fantastic burger and offered yummy local beer. While other reviewers are right about the noise from the roads, this did not stop me from enjoying coffee, breakfast, evening cocktails, yoga, and a good book on the pleasant front porch. Thank you Natalie for a lovely stay!

Good Getaway
This affordable place was a good deal. It was small, close to George Washington National Forest, and had a great fenced in yard. It was also quite clean, although the fragrance of the cleaner was so strong I kept the windows open the entire time to air it out. If not for that, and the fact that it is sandwiched between a highway and a well-traveled state Route, it would be a five star rating. My impression was I was getting a cabin in the woods. My impression was wrong.

Good little place
So I really wanted to love this place, but I was slightly disappointed. We went in thinking this place was pet friendly, but it really shouldn’t say that at all. We were told we had to cover the couches with sheets due to the dogs and they might jump on the couch and the dogs couldn’t be on the bed because people may have allergies, but when I was sweeping up the place there was dog hair all over. Then we went to sleep there was a note on the pillow saying “don’t sleep on shams”. In which I don’t understand why I would sleep on a bare pillow or else I would have brought my own. I was unaware of any of these things because the owner sent a pdf of what to expect when there and none of this was on there. I was scared to do anything because the property manager named off so many dos and donts when on the phone with her. The place and property was beautiful and was greatfull for the fenced in backyard.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Bradley

Host profile image
I am a native Virginian, did my undergraduate work at JMU in Art Ed. in Harrisonburg, and received my Masters in Art Therapy at LMU, and have been living in LA for the last 30 years. This little cottage I built on a property that I purchased from My Mother's estate and was going to be my retreat when visiting back home. After my mother passed, I took over her original home and manage it now as a vacation rental and have added this cottage as a new listing. It is a sweet little get-a-way place in which to retreat, read or write or just catch up with time away from life's chaos. My family and friends love to use the cottage when they get a chance. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the location and the many surrounding points of interest that draw many to the area every year.

Why they chose this property

It's convenient to many points of interest in Alleghany and Greenbrier Counties. It is small and intimate and a perfect place for a single person alone or with their bestie or a couple alone or with 2 small kids. Pets are allowed.

What makes this property unique

It's an open concept cottage. Simple and easy access and plenty of parking. Sits on 4 acres of flat land for games. Has approximately one acre of fenced yard for the safety of your pets and children with a two-gate entrance and a trail to the creek is at the far end of the property. Horses and goats in adjoining fields. Has a nice porch where you face the creek and can sit to watch the sun go down. It's a much better solution for a couple of nights over a single hotel room in the nearest town for a similar price.
