Virginia County Cottage


NO CLEANING FEE Discover the charm of Virginia's Country Cottage, a welcoming guest house featuring one bedroom, a spacious bathroom with a large shower, a comfortable living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with a generous pantry. Enjoy the lovely front porch and the convenience of a one-car garage. The brand-new patio boasts a gas fire pit for effortless relaxation. Our cottage is thoughtfully designed for handicap accessibility.

Situated on 40 acres in the heart of Jacksonville, home to Camp Lejeune, this retreat offers a tranquil and private setting, just a short distance from one of the city's bustling areas. Experience a unique stay that sets us apart from other accommodations in the vicinity.

During your time here, you might witness the joyful scenes of children playing on the sidewalk with chalk, engaging in hopscotch, hide-and-seek, and riding four-wheelers, motorcycles, bicycles, and golf carts. Adults may be spotted enjoying activities like hitting golf balls and playing cornhole. In the early morning or evening, the peaceful surroundings may reveal sightings of deer and wild turkey, adding a touch of nature to your stay.

Peaceful - Perfect for our Stay

We are visiting family in the area and spending most of the day with them but wanted a quiet place to retreat to in the evening. The location, amenities, communication with owner, and comfort of this Cottage makes it perfect for our needs. We have stayed a few times previously, and plan to stay again. We are grateful to the owner for such welcoming hospitality.

Cozy Cottage in the Heart of Jacksonville

Came into town to celebrate my ailing brother's birthday. The cottage was perfect for my husband and two fur babies. The fire pit and fireplace added a nice touch as did the walk in shower and the BD was so comfortable. Cathy was a most gracious host and we will definitely be back.

Private home on owners beautiful and serene property. Includes a private fire pit and gas grill in the back. I hated not being able to stay longer but I only needed a place to stay one night that permitted a dog. The hosts could not have been kinder or more accommodating.

Amazing

Simply amazing. The hosts, Cathy and Mike, are amazing people! The property is located on a great piece of land, giving you the feeling of freedom while being close enough to shop for necessities. Very clean, very comfortable, great amenities. The home has everything you need, toaster, full kitchen of utensils, pots, pans, Keurig coffee maker, full size refrigerator, washer, and dryer. The size was perfect for my son and I to stay for a month as we prepared to move to Virginia.

Perfect spot for us!

Virginia’s Country Cottage is beautiful, clean, & close to our family that we went to visit. Cathy was so kind, gracious, and attentive! The property was quiet & peaceful. We enjoyed the fire pit and private backyard area, and got to see some deer, a fox, and some other wildlife. The cottage was well equipped with everything we could have needed and so cozy. I would highly recommend this property! :)

So Glad we found this place

The home was just what we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. Cathy was great to work with & the check in/out process was a breeze. The pictures don't do the place justice as it's a really nice quiet respite from the "busy-ness" of everyday life... would definitely stay there again!

Our vibrant connection to the community is enriched by the diverse individuals we've met, thanks to the military base.

Embracing an active lifestyle, we find pleasure in engaging activities like pickleball, golf, and regular gym sessions. Our love for travel allows us to explore new horizons and meet fascinating people. Beyond our adventures, our hearts find fulfillment in the company of family and friends. Being active members of our local church adds a beautiful layer to the tapestry of our lives, creating a sense of belonging and shared values within our community.
