Country cottage getaway

We lived our stay! The pond was lovely and kept us and our dogs entertained. Property is private and clean. Definitely a place to relax and recuperate. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful spot to enjoy nature

Very beautiful, peaceful property. Scared up a deer on the nature trail and saw lots of wildlife. The cottage has a cool and yet somewhat awkward design, a little scary for some to climb up the ladder to the bedroom. Other than that it was very comfortable and more than well equipped with everything we needed. I will say, be careful of some of the condiments/food left in the fridge and cupboards, there were dressings and other things waaaaaaay past their expiration date. If you're looking for a quaint, out of the ordinary, very private and peaceful getaway this fits the bill.

Great

Awesome home. If you're not agile staying in the loft might be Trickey. I'm a shower person but baths never hurt. I would stay again during our next adventure.

Relax in nature but with amenities

Lovely quiet stay in nature, we saw dragonflies, butterflies, turtles, songbirds, frogs, rabbits, deer and lots of Virginia native berries and plants. The hosts encouraged us to pick blueberries and were kind and helpful. The sunsets are gorgeous. The paddle boarding on the pond, ping pong, and the fire pit were a big hit with the kids!

Secluded, Unique, Near Kings Dominion

This used to be a winery tasting room so it has an interesting layout and the old winery vines and decor. We did not use the sleeping loft but the two big sofas worked well. We enjoyed the secluded location and liked hanging out on the front porch as it has ceiling fans. You are not allowed to park near the house due to septic so it’s a long walk with no path through grass with your stuff. It needs a good cleaning and updates (dirty walls, carpets, and furniture). Great size kitchen but needs a coffee maker and some other basics. It’s a pretty drive and only 15 minutes to Kings Dominion. Would recommend for small families.

Perfect Rural Getaway!

The house was just the right size for my husband, two dogs, and me with all the city amenities you would need. The property was gorgeous with lots to explore. Perfect relaxing weekend away from the DMV with the added bonus of 15min from Kings Dominion amusement park!

Relaxing getaway, as advertised

Relaxing getaway just a short drive from Richmond. Plenty of space for the dog to run around, and loved the pond access. Kitchen was also fully stocked if you enjoy cooking!

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Hogan

We are originally from Kansas, but fell in love with Virginia when we moved here in 2007. We enjoy good wine, sports and travel.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location for the water source (pond fed by natural springs) and sandy loam soil which is ideal for grape growing.

What makes this property unique

Originally built as a future tasting room for the vineyard across the pond with over-sized porches and enhanced septic system to support large groups and events. If you are interested in having a large event, please reach out.
