Wonderful, whimsical cottage near Clifton Forge/Covington and surrounding natural beauty. Owners have anticipated guest needs and added thoughtful touches.
We had an amazing stay at the kitchen house. The entire place was decorated so cute and every detail was impeccable. We loved it and will be back! Brian was super helpful and made our stay with the fresh bread, cookies and local craft beer to try. We had a great visit!
The home was very unique and decorated beautifully! The property is historic, quaint and close to the highway with easy access to Lexington, VA and a view of the mountains. Thanks for a wonderful stay and for providing the best cookies and local beverages!
We dropped our son off at a local college in Lexington and stayed in this lovely property for the weekend. I’m from the gorgeous decor to the welcome treats, every part of our stay was perfect. The home is delightful and the owners were attentive and friendly. We plan to stay here each time we visit our son! Thank you for a great time!
Lovely place! Beautifully decorated. Well stocked bathroom & kitchen. Thoughtful treats left by the home owners 😊 Look forward to a return trip to this location!
We had a wonderful stay at the Kitchen House! The attention to detail by the owners, to inclcude the beautiful accomodations and treats, can not be understated. Brian was a perfect host, and we can't wait to visit again and enjoy this beautiful property!
Check in was easy, communication very prompt, owners super nice, beds comfortable, love the colorful and fun decor, easy access to interstate and convenient to places we visited, kitchen has very nice appliances and needs for cooking. Loved the extra touches of fresh flowers and local treats. Truly a wonderful place to stay that i will recommend to friends and family.
This little cottage was perfect in every way. Bright, colorful, great attention to detail. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. Fresh flowers and local baked goods and spirits added to our warm welcome. Keeping this one on our shortlist for sure!
From character to location to cleanliness and hospitality, perfect is the best adjective that comes to . mind. Very quiet area and very convenient access to the interstate. When the host renovated this place it is obvious there was attention to detail in making it an impressive little place.
This rental was beautifully decorated in such happy and bright colors and artwork. The property was stunning. It was fascinating being surrounded by such wonderful, historic places. The hosts left us cookies, bread, and beer all from local artisans. So very thoughtful and welcoming. The bed is incredibly soft! We would certainly recommend staying here!
From the moment we stepped into the exquisitely renovated home, we were in an aura of tranquility and refinement. Every facet of the house exuded a perfect blend of comfort, style, and charm. Every corner unveiled a new marvel, from the tastefully decorated living space to the impeccably appointed bedrooms.
The location was perfect for our stay, with access to all the local parks and breweries we were looking to visit. The recommendations for eateries also helped us find another location we'll be sure to visit again.
Lovely property! Our hosts were wonderful and they had cookies, mini-loaves of bread, a bottle of honey wine and a gorgeous bouquet of flowers awaiting us! Great weekend with friends! Could not have been more pleased! Thank you!!
With rain in the forecast we decided to cancel camping and look for alternate accommodations. We found the Kitchen House last minute and ideally located. It was the perfect home base for our biking adventures, central to the areas we wanted to visit. Brian was responsive and gave us a place to hose down and securely store our bikes. The cottage was clean and colorful – we had everything we needed – the local cider, craft beer, cookies and bread were unexpected and pretty much gone by the time we ended our stay. We will absolutely return if they'll have us.
