About this property

Cottage, Pool, 300 Acres of Blue Ridge Mountains.

This is a luxurious cottage with pool about1.5 hour drive from Charlottesville on 300 acres of woods, hills, and fields in Bath County, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect for a romantic weekend or family getaway, or teleworking.

The cottage consists of a huge window-filled kitchen/dining/living area, and a bedroom. The hardwood floors are spectacular rustic oak. The kitchen area has the latest appliances and red granite countertops. The living area has a gas fireplace with HDTV and DirectTV, a queen-sized sofa bed, and two twin folding memory foam mattresses. Internet is high bandwidth fiber optic.

The bedroom has a fireplace, big-screen TV and king-size bed with memory foam mattress.

The cottage sits alone in its own valley, and has spectacular hills, meadows, and woods. It features soaring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with over a mile of border with the beautiful George Washington National Forest.

Privacy and intimacy go along with the gorgeous landscape. You will be the only people on the property. From the entire farm, no other houses are visible, despite the stunning views of 20 miles or more. Deer, coyotes, a few bears, and eagles make their home on the farm.

Recreational Equipment: The fishing pond (stocked with catfish, bass and perch) has a paddle boat. Fishing rods available. There is a golf cart and mountain bikes. There are kayaks for use on the nearby Cow Pasture River, plus car racks. There are 2 electric bikes.

There's a pool right outside your door, via a bridge from the deck to a jumping platform. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

To give you an idea of how large 300 acres is, it would take you about an hour to walk to the back of the farm. We gladly accept pets. The farm has always had pets, and they love it there.

The bathroom has marble floors, ceramic tiles, and a jetted tub with a view of the wilderness. The two-sided deck allows you to sip your morning coffee while looking out over the valley, watching the mist roll through.

Sleeping accommodations consist of a king-sized bed in the bedroom, a queen-sized sofa-bed, and two Twin XL 6" thick folding memory foam mattresses, which you can combine to make a king sized bed.

We also have a 220V charging cord and adapter for your Tesla.

Wander the farm to your heart's delight. Swim to your hearts content. Fish in the pond. Check out a nearby river swimming hole right out of Tom Sawyer. Careen about on the mountain bikes, electric bikes, or the golf cart. Go kayaking!

repeat stay as good as always!

This was our third stay at this wonderful little gem in the country. Jim is a wonderful host and the cottage is all that we could hope for. The golf cart allows us to explore the farm and the quality grade accommodations make us feel spoiled and eager to continue to make this a bi-annual, rejuvenating visit!

Perfect peaceful and quiet location - and a great home

This is an idyllic location for an individual or couple looking for serenity. Hundreds of acres of land for exploring, a great pool, and woodland animals - but no people! What makes this location exceptional is that the cottage includes excellent appliances, technology and conveniences! It is extremely comfortable, and immaculately clean. This was a repeat visit for me, and I plan to be back!

Accurately Described

As described in listing! Beautiful property equipped with everything you need and then some. No complaints. Very clean for a pet property. Jim was a delight to deal with. We only left property once, so much to explore on site. We will be booking again.

Castle on the hill

This is our second time here at Ellen's cottage. We have used vrbo for many trips and this is by far our favorite! Feels like heaven on earth. Nature, wild life to see every day, waking to the sound of birds, the pool, the fishing, and the list goes on! You know you've had a wonderful vacation when you get teary-eyed leaving. Booked for next year already! Hands down a wonderful experience for the whole family!

Magical Mountain Getaway

When we first arrived to the house, we were in awe of the setup, and it was dark out! The location was nestled deep into the mountains, the steps leading to the house were beautifully lit, the house itself was adorable, and the pool was lovely! Once we got inside, we were so pleased with how it was set up and decorated inside.Everything we needed was there, the bed was super comfy, the location was superb, and the golf cart ride up the mountain to check out the farm was breathtaking! My husband and I definitely want to go back again and stay a bit longer to get to enjoy all of the amazing features this booking has to offer! We so enjoyed our stay there!

The property was exactly as described. The cottage was immaculately clean, private, and quiet. It was an ideal getaway.

Perfect spot to get away with your humans or pups!

My boyfriend and I brought our two pups to have a quiet getaway and relax for a few days. The pups loved that they could roam free on the property and do lots of exploring. The golf cart was perfect to go explore all the available land. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the awesome views. Everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner was there at the cottage. Would definitely stay again!

Our favorite summer retreat

Simply perfect. This was our third year enjoying the property and we’ve already booked for next year. Outstanding communication from the host. As I’ve shared in other reviews, this is an incredible place for a couple to relax and unplug, and to take in the stunning views and vistas. Or, just read by the pool with a book.
