About this property

There's nothing like relaxing on the porch swing at this quaint 2-bedroom cottage in Sugar Grove, Virginia, (near Wytheville) listening to the stream rush over the rocks. Watch our resident ducks, and then take a dip in the private swimming hole. Kids (and kids at heart) love the caboose in the yard, complete with it's own half bath. There's a big lawn for playing, great hikes nearby, plenty of fly fishing in the area, and the cottage is in walking distance to the beautiful Grayson Highlands Horse trail. Good WiFi, Direct TV (or bring your own Fire Stick), and cell phones will work if you connect them through the WiFi. The kitchen has everything you need, and a washer and dryer are available. Great spot for hunters, or for anyone that just wants to get away for a while. Borders Jefferson National forest.

Neat Place

My wife and I enjoyed the house. The description online was very accurate. The caboose outside was really cool (I have no idea how they got that thing in there). Sitting on the porch in the morning and sipping my coffee while listening to the stream was amazing (we had abysmal weather as it rained heavily each day we were there so the stream was moving fast). The house had everything you would need. I am not sure they provide soap and shampoo but there was a few samples that looked like they were from a hotel (I assumed it was from a past guest, but I could be wrong). The kitchen had everything you need and the grill fired up on the 1st try. The place is definitely remote (roughly 20-25 minutes off of I-80) so I would suggest buying grocery’s before you arrive. We did enjoy our stay.

A great family friendly cabin!

We loved our stay here! Check in was easy and we had good communication with the owner, Roger. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable including fast internet, tv, cooking utensils and comfortable beds. The kids loved the property, especially feeding the ducks, playing in the caboose and exploring the creek. The firepit and propane grill were also great. We made great family memories here and would definitely enjoy coming back someday.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

My boyfriend and our friends had been looking for a peaceful mountain retreat for quite some time and immediately took the opportunity when we saw this gem! The pictures do not do it justice. Stores and shops are about a 30 minute drive, but it seems to short a drive with the beautiful, picturesque views of mountains and incredible farmlands. If you love nature, you will love this stay, we had the pleasure of seeing many deer, cows, horses, rabbits, and we fed the ducks that live in the creek! The windchimes and sound of the babbling creek make for an extra peaceful outdoor setting. And the train, just incredible. Highly recommended.

Remote but pleasant

Property as discribed, well equipped but do bring personal movies or web devices if necessary. Remember where you are if wildlife is a concern. Brief encounter with small timber rattlesnake right at the cottage. Only reason mentioned is concern for children and anyone easily excited.

Pictures don't do it justice!

The property is absolutely beautiful! The water is crystal clear, and the ducks are stunning! The caboose is heated and spacious. Hopefully, next time we can bring our grandson who would have flipped over the toys inside. Everything is so prepared in the house. Plenty of pillows, blankets, places to sleep. Upon our arrival, the house was illuminated with the fireplace. It was so beautiful. The notes on the table explained everything. It was so easy, start to finish. We will definitely be back, as my parents absolutely loved this as their anniversary meetup from myself and husband!

Relaxing and disconnected ❤️

Girls trip weekend with my friends of 40+ years! There is no cell service but there is WiFi and a hard line for phone in case of an emergency. We couldn’t find the thermostat so I turned on all the room heaters and the gas fire place as it was 47 when I entered the house. There are plenty of condiments, seasonings, and plentiful dishes, utensils and quality pots & pans. Our favorite highlights were THE DUCKS (one male and 3 females) Owners provide food (no bread). Listening to the creek, sipping coffee on the porch swing was another relaxing highlight. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit outside. Neighbors are kind and informative. One told us his trail cams showed 4 large bears. Beds, sheets and pillows were so comfortable and very clean. Only reason for 4 starts for: cleaning- bathroom still had trash in it when I arrived; owner- he emailed code to access home. I didn’t write it down nor could I pull it up on my email (was not hooked up to WiFi and zero cell service) You will lose service when you turn on the country road to the cabin (5-7 miles or so). We would still stay here again - it was that relaxing and disconnected!!

Relax, unplug, and enjoy

My husband and I are both business owners and we were looking to just get away from it all, and this property did just that. If you are looking for five star accommodations, this is not your place, but if you are looking for one of the most relaxing, peaceful and comforting places to spend a weekend or more this is where you want to be! The kitchen is small but accommodated us with no problem. The furnishings are older but very comfortable. It was much cooler there in the mountains than at home, but there was no shortage of blankets for us to cuddle up with both on the porch swing and inside. We enjoyed feeding the fish and the ducks breakfast and dinner every day, and had a nice little fire in the fire pit outback. We will definitely visit this property again, most likely with friends and for a longer stay!

Sisters Retreat

It was such a relaxing weekend with no big plans just enjoying the solitude and beauty. We had recently mourned the passing of our fifth sister at the age of 90, so we had lots of time for reflection on our past travels. The accommodations were perfect. We enjoyed meals at Joey’s iin Rural Retreat and the Dutch Pantry’. Thanks again for our lovely stay

Charming place in the country

My wife and I stayed in this charming home with our 3 grandsons and enjoyed it so much and made some great memories. We loved feeding the ducks, swimming and tubing in the water behind the house every day. The house has everything you need. We were pleasantly surprised, b/c it has Wi-Fi when we connected we did receive and send texts and on the back porch near the swing you can take cell calls. The host also left a easy to use phone card to use the landline. We thought based on reviews there would not be any tv which was fine with us but we did have tv to help wind down the kids for the evening. Host provide firewood for the fire pit. Super quiet and really relaxing sitting on the back porch listening the the water. The kids had so much fun, when we ask what was their best part, they said everything. The host was super responsive from start to finish. We will be visiting again for sure.
