About this property
10 minutes from VIR. Rustic secluded cottage on private 13-acre lake.
10 minutes from Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in rural southern Virginia.
Serene and rustic cottage on the edge of the woods overlooking a private 13-acre lake.
(Additional Information can be seen on the Villa Cathedral site https://www.villacathedral.com/merrybrook)
You will want to share the experience with a group of your best friends or your family. If you are here for an event at VIR, you can unwind from your day and relax to the sounds of nature all around while rocking in the chair on the covered porch or in the yard under the stars. Bring your fishing rod and enjoy casting your line and reeling in a few if you are so inclined. As you sit quietly, you will start to see the local wildlife characters appear.. the woodpeckers, owls, hawks, herons, geese, ducks, deer, otters, beaver, turkeys...
Merrybrook Cottage is also ideal for small group retreats, writers retreats, and reunions. It is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with 6 beds and a fully equipped kitchen. Additional rooms are available at Villa Cathedral B&B at Williamson Farm on the adjoining property.

About the host
Hosted by Lucy and Bill
We love sharing our family farm with people who appreciate a quiet, rural setting. Merrybrook Cottage and Villa Cathedral B&B are both part of Williamson Farm (190 acres), a Virginia "Century Farm" that has been in our family since the late 1800's.
Why they chose this property
Merrybrook cottage is secluded from the road and the nearest neighbors, very private and serene. There are woods, open fields, the lake and wildlife to be enjoyed.
What makes this property unique
Being at Merrybrook Cottage is like living in a picture postcard!
It is one of only a few lodging accommodations within 10 minutes of VIR.
