About this property

Oak Tree Cottage: Beautiful farm with mountain views.

Our four bedroom cottage is located in Waynesboro, VA at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway meet here, so it's a perfect place for your family to meet too!

We are adjacent to the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest and the Sherando Lake Recreation Area, and only fourteen miles from the skiing, golfing and tennis at Wintergreen Resort. Yet we are yet so easy to get to -- tucked in the crossroads of Interstates 81 and 64, only five miles from exit 96 on Interstate 64. We are only 27 miles from the University of Virginia and Monticello in Charlottesville, VA and only 150 miles from Washington, DC.

Oak Tree Cottage sits in the edge of the forest, overlooking the open fields of our 1,000-acre farm and the Blue Ridge mountains. We have hiking trails, wildlife and bird watching galore, and restored meadows. In early September, monarch butterflies migrate through the farm.

Relax and enjoy nature or head out to explore nearby wineries, breweries, history, biking events, the Appalachian Trail or the arts. We are a great home base to explore Virginia!

The first floor of the house has a living room, a full kitchen with island, a large dining table with seating for nine, a glass-walled room that provides a full view of the forest, as well as two bedrooms and a full bath. On the second floor, there are two more bedrooms and another full bath. The house has hot- water baseboard heat. We also have a private pool available for the use of our guests. There is no lifeguard on duty.

Small weddings are allowed on property for an additional fee. Please inquire if you are interested.

Rrady for a Wedding

We stayed here in preparation for my daughter's wedding in Crozet, VA. The home was lovely and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The surrounding property was both beautiful and peaceful. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is always available to help with any issue that may arise without being intrusive.

A gorgeous cottage nestled in the trees

I reserved this location for a small bachelor party weekend. We stayed from Friday to Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is close to 151, allowing us to swing by Devil's Backbone for their Oktoberfest. It is also close to many great trails like Humpback Rocks, which we hit in the morning after Devil's Backbone. The owners are amiable and welcoming. They greeted us when we settled in and set up the firepit for a lovely roaring fire our last night there. The views are beautiful, and the peace and quiet are unmatched. I highly recommend this location for a delightful getaway without being too far from fantastic sights and places.

The Best of the Best

An amazing, gorgeous property! The house was exactly as described but the view was even better in person. It was stocked with everything we needed, clean/ready to go, and check in/out instructions were easy to follow. Bonus that the owner was such a delight to talk to! My friends and I had a great time and we highly recommend!

Perfect Stay

Everything was PERFECT. The property and views were even better than expected. The house and pool were impeccable. The house was stocked with all essentials, including plenty of pool/shower towels for the 7 of us. I can’t thank Karen and her husband enough for their hospitality and kindness. Every aspect of our trip was well beyond our expectations.

Beautiful Shenandoah property

The property is set perfectly in a mix of forest, farmland and rejuvenated quail habitat. Multiple Long range views, one that looks towards a perfect Virginia foothill or mountain depending on your personal point of view. The pool is a good size and around 8 foot at it’s deepest. The house came with everything you could need in supplies and was very comfortable. We met both owners and they were very friendly and had great communication. Overall a perfect getaway retreat if you are visiting the Shenandoah region of Virginia and need a home base for your adventure.

Oak Tree Cottage

A perfect three generation weekend! The house and property was exactly as described which I've found to be unusual. Having the fenced in pool was perfect for our three young children. The hosts were wonderful - both before our stay answering questions and responding quickly to any questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend Oak Tree Cottage!

Beautiful stay with a big group!

We traveled here with 6 adults and 3 children and had a wonderful time! The cottage is in a beautiful location and close enough to get to stores and restaurants. It’s incredibly clean, well-appointed and perfect for big groups. The owners are very friendly. We enjoyed exploring outside and playing games with the kids. There are also lots of hiking options nearby. We were there for a wedding but we would definitely come back!

Quiet, secluded, peaceful property

My wife and I came with a couple of our adult sons and two close family friends. We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. The pool and the cottage are immaculately clean. The owners live right on the other side of the pool and are SO nice. They even brought over some fresh tomatoes from their garden! And the yummy snacks that greeted us in the kitchen when we arrived were such a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Fall Getaway

Oak Tree Cottage is the perfect place to gather especially if you love being surrounded by nature. The property is very well maintained and the hosts are welcoming. The cottage is super comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Our family loved the room with all of the windows! While there we attended a family wedding at Pippin Hill, spent a day in Charlottesville, and took a ride on Skyline Drive. After those busy days it was so nice to have such a clean and comfortable place to return to!

Great week!

Oak Tree Cottage was even lovelier than expected. Immaculately clean, comfortable beds, beautiful views. The pool is only steps from the house, and we enjoyed floating in the water and identifying all the birds and butterflies we saw against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Karen had some excellent suggestions for local hikes and places to eat. Overall, a great week in a great space!

Peaceful family getaway

Our family loves this home, this is our second time and we are already planning to book again next summer! There are rooms for everyone so the grandparents, parents and kids get to spend a week all together, this location feels like a peaceful oasis. You have a beautiful view of the mountains and woods and we always enjoy spotting all the critters and birds around. Having a private pool for a week is so fun, the kids can play as much as they want, and the adults can relax under the umbrellas. Karen and Dave have stocked this house so well with everything you have at home so it's so easy to relax. No late night runs to the grocery store to get something we forgot. And they are so responsive to any issues, like bringing a new propane tank for the grill. This is truly a home away from home and the kids are already asking when we can come back to Oak Tree Cottage.

Amazing Property

We had the best time. The property owners were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and make sure that we had everything we needed. There was a storm and when we called Karen to let her know that a tree limb had basically rolled down the side of the house she was very quick to ask if we were ok and to say that if the storm got worse we were all more than welcome to stay with her and her husband until it passed. Keep in mind that there were 6 of us. One of which was a 5 year old. As soon as I got off the phone with her, her husband was at our door checking on us. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Quillen

Host profile image
My husband and I have three grown children. We love food and we love the outdoors. Dave has been working to restore the native meadows on the farm. The farm also has globally rare wetlands with rare salamanders and plants. It's a great place to walk and enjoy nature.

I love history and I am an interpreter of history at Monticello, which is only 33 miles away. I also love to knit and to sew.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! It is stunningly beautiful. So easy to get to, yet still so private.

What makes this property unique

We love sitting on our front porch, looking at the mountains and watching the wildlife on the farm. We worked with an architect to design and build our home so it fits the farm. The guest cottage is located about 250 feet from our home. We respect the privacy of our guests but we hope they will call us if they need anything or have any questions. We're right next door!
