About this property

There's nothing like relaxing on the porch swing at this quaint 2-bedroom cottage in Sugar Grove, Virginia, (near Wytheville) listening to the stream rush over the rocks. Watch our resident ducks, and then take a dip in the private swimming hole. Kids (and kids at heart) love the caboose in the yard, complete with it's own half bath. There's a big lawn for playing, great hikes nearby, plenty of fly fishing in the area, and the cottage is in walking distance to the beautiful Grayson Highlands Horse trail. Good WiFi, Direct TV (or bring your own Fire Stick), and cell phones will work if you connect them through the WiFi. The kitchen has everything you need, and a washer and dryer are available. Great spot for hunters, or for anyone that just wants to get away for a while. Borders Jefferson National forest.

Very nice cottage. Secluded privacy.

Very nice little bungalow. Very secluded and private. Very well equipped and appointed. Cottage has everything you need. No complaints at all. Everything is as advertised. Nice smooth rental transaction. Nice quiet place to get away from it all.

Beautiful, but needs TLC

Location is beautiful... easy drive from 81 on private property that is a 5-minute walk to the Jefferson National Forest (dirt road and lovely trails). The property is beautiful (yard, creek, bridge, porch, caboose...a great little place!)... but TLC is needed. Recent storm Helene knocked down many trees that fell into the creek... covering some of the view and use of the creek (not so much an issue for us since the water was cold but FYI for warmer months). Bathroom in the caboose (advertised working in the VRBO listing) was not working (not a big issue, but still not as expected). On the surface, home was clean with a good amount of bedding. However, there was a strong musty/mold smell throughout that dissipated (but never left) over time with use of gas heater. There was visible mold on the lower part of the desk in main bedroom, throughout the inside bathroom drawers, and on the door of main bedroom. Kitchen had all supplies that were needed and the layout of the house allowed for the family to always be together. Good wifi, if you are working away from home. Overall, the property is warm and inviting and has been well loved. A nice rental for a family.

Virginia cabin

Problems with electric. Some of which were caused by the prior storm. I had contacted the host to make sure everything was ok and I was told just a few trees down. Actually the electric mast was damaged. And we found this out when we returned from town to find a man on the roof who was there to fix it and he told us that he hoped he could take care of it so we didn't have to leave.Gas fireplace doesn't work.the bathroom in the caboose doesn't work and the place is incredibly musty and moldy. It will give you breathing issues.No ducks, see prior reviews and definitely no where to kayak as the stream is filled with trees. Couldn't use the fire pit because the phone line is only about 5 ft directly over it. Oh and also the electric panel outside had sparks coming out of it. It needs a lot of TLC. rcrecommend this place. Give it a month of

Weekend Getaway

The family loved the property. The caboose was great for pictures. We don’t get to see the ducks but saw lots of little fish. We were able to cook every night with no issues. We grilled out and used the stove/over. Would stay again if we are in the area.

Awesome property. Clean with everything you could need. Very secluded (we really needed to get away from everyday life). The home and grounds are very beautiful. You can tell that the owners really love this property. We would gladly stay here again.

Neat Place

My wife and I enjoyed the house. The description online was very accurate. The caboose outside was really cool (I have no idea how they got that thing in there). Sitting on the porch in the morning and sipping my coffee while listening to the stream was amazing (we had abysmal weather as it rained heavily each day we were there so the stream was moving fast). The house had everything you would need. I am not sure they provide soap and shampoo but there was a few samples that looked like they were from a hotel (I assumed it was from a past guest, but I could be wrong). The kitchen had everything you need and the grill fired up on the 1st try. The place is definitely remote (roughly 20-25 minutes off of I-80) so I would suggest buying grocery’s before you arrive. We did enjoy our stay.

A great family friendly cabin!

We loved our stay here! Check in was easy and we had good communication with the owner, Roger. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable including fast internet, tv, cooking utensils and comfortable beds. The kids loved the property, especially feeding the ducks, playing in the caboose and exploring the creek. The firepit and propane grill were also great. We made great family memories here and would definitely enjoy coming back someday.
