The recently renovated cottage, while located in the heart of Blue Ridge with pastoral views, is also close to Charlottesville. Guests can enjoy private porch dining, outdoor shower or drinks by the fire pit. The location is rural with Charlottesville's best wedding venues and wineries only 10 minutes away and with the downtown mall only 13 miles away.
The space: The cottage is located on an 1820s farmstead. It is one of several buildings on the farm. Situated just beyond a two-story log home of the same era, you will enjoy its original floors and stone fireplace. The old ice house and pole barn are also nearby.
The Cottage has many updates, including a new refrigerator, a luxurious clawfoot tub in the en suite, a deck with a bistro table and chairs for morning coffee, and a refreshing outdoor shower.
Guest access: We are happy to share our 'biggest little farm" with our guests. We welcome you to bring a picnic or a bottle of wine to the Adirondack chairs around our firepit and marvel at one of our stunning sunsets or starry nights.
If you want to visit with our farm animals, please let us know. We would love to let out the chickens or goats for guests to enjoy.
The Cottage is situated on a dirt road, and you are welcome to stretch your legs on a six-mile walk. This area offers plenty to do and plenty of places to do nothing.
We hope you enjoy our family’s micro-farm as much as we do.
Other things to note: Our property is located on the longest road in Albemarle County, along an extended stretch of gravel approximately 8 miles long. This is a favorite training route for runners in the area, including most high school cross-country, UVA, and other teams. The road has gentle grades, fantastic views of the Blue Ridge, and very little traffic.
Cycling in the area is also very popular - for road, gravel, and mountain bikers. Road and gravel cyclists can head West toward the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline drive, or South toward Ennis Mountain, Wintergreen, and the Rockfish Valley. There is also excellent mountain biking on Jarman's Gap Road, Sherando Lake, and the Harrisonburg area. In Charlottesville two good bike shops are Blue Ridge Cyclery and Blue Wheel Bicycles.
