This wonderfully charming COTTAGE boasts a 360 degree forest and pastoral view of Hidden Hollow Farm. Enjoy your coffee on the deck and watch the herds of deer and wild turkey come out of the woods.

Vibrant vineyards and notable cuisine nearby. Your stay at the Cottage and Cape Cod puts you minutes from the city's culture scene and reimagined historic district. The well-known Airlie Conference Center is just 2 KM away and the historic Vint Hill Farms military facility is 9 miles (12 Km) East.

You are not just a person. And we are not just another venue. We are a facility that sleeps up to 36 for your special event(s).

We're not bound by similarities. We're bound by distinction. We may share an Autograph. but everything else is different.

Great Place to Stay
The house and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The bedrooms are clean and spacious, especially the main bedroom on the first floor. The outdoor firepit/hammock area is picture perfect. The house is so well decorated our group felt as though we were in a family's home, not a hotel or basic rental property. The rest of our family rented property up the road and being able to walk between the two houses was very convenient. The notes from the owner were so helpful and well placed, no flipping a dozen different light switches to find the right one! Everyone who was there is already trying to make plans to return! Thank you!

Nice stay in wooded area
We enjoyed being away from the noise of town in this wooded cottage. Outside space is the best part! Downstairs main bedroom nice, although I didnt like having no door between the bathroom and the bedroom, just a screen, but it was okay just a personal preference. The upstairs bedrooms are very basic like dorm room feel. Upstairs bath needs a small chair or bench in it to lay clothes on. The map room was fun for family, could use an extra chair or two in there as well. The kitchen is well-equipped with utensils, but bring your own paper towels, kitchen dish soap and detergent (not a surprise, just a reminder). Great communication with the owners. Enjoyed our stay!

Gerry and Supen were wonderful hosts for our week at the Cottage. Gerry was always quick to respond for any questions we had, and we had a blast with the karaoke! The property was beautiful, the views fantastic, and we're hoping to be able to book again in a couple of years when we get the family back together for another reunion!

Beautiful Sanctuary
We had such a great time at this gorgeous cabin and the hosts were so gracious. We used it for our son's HS graduation. Perfect location! The house was equipped with so many things you often forget when you go on vacation. That was nice, no running back and forth to the store, although there is serval right up the road. The views were amazing and there is so much land to enjoy! Wish we could have stayed longer, but we had to get back to the real world. Highly recommended!!

This Guest Cottage in the thick, isolated Forrest near Warrenton was perfect for our group. It is large, spacious, clean and very well fit out with all kitchen equipment and accessories. Our group setttlef right in and the property enhances our experience. Our hosts Supen and Jerry were attentive and helpful. Deers and Turkeys spotted each morning. Definitely a property with nostalgic charm and design. I highly recommend this property for medium to large groups. It’s perfectly set up.

Lovely house, bucolic setting
Comfortable and well appointed house that seems isolated in beautiful woods and meadows, yet is only a few minutes from shopping and the center of Warrenton. Our stay was unexpectedly cut short by a violet storm, knocking out power, running water, and access to the house from the main road. A flashlight and candles would have been useful.

We have rented several homes through VRBO and hands down this was by far the best property we have ever rented. The owners of the property were beyond helpful and responsive. Their property is spectacular. The home is very well stocked with everything you could dream of needing. It was spotless and the grounds are beautifully manicured. We had my son's rehearsal dinner there and it was beautiful.

Excellent location for a rehearsal dinner
We stayed at this cottage for a long weekend and hosted my son's rehearsal dinner there. The location and grounds provided an excellent venue for the occasion. We had to request that the grass be cut after we got there but Sue was diligent to follow up with landscapers and get it cut. Outside gets a 10 rating, the house had some issues but overall it was a nice venue. The location and the grounds make up for the interior. It was not very clean, the bunk beds are not suitable for an adult (think college dorm mattress), we had issues with the sink and no washcloths were provides. We were there on a cool for September weekend and the AC was barely able to keep the house cool. Not sure what would happen on a warm day. So, I just listed these negatives so other renters would be aware, but the grounds and seating areas were fantastic. The area under the wisteria arbor was a magical location for the wedding party to be seating. I wish I could post a picture of just how lovely it was. Sue was quick to respond to all of my posts. The kitchen is well equipped (except the sink).

Great setting with plenty of space
We spent 2 nights at the Cottage with 2 other families (total of 6 adults and 9 kids) after a dinner party on Lost Mountain. Plenty of room for all to sleep, lounge, cook, grill and eat. The kids had a blast exploring the property and playing football. We parents most enjoyed the fire pit. The location is just off 29 (kids loved being able to walk to Sheetz) but once you get down the driveway, you could be in the middle of nowhere. It's also just a couple miles from old town Warrenton (parents loved being able to take 2 mile jog to Red Hat bakery). We hiked Sky Meadows one day - about a 30 min drive - and Bears Den the next (a little further afield, but was on our way home). Sue couldn't have been easier to work with. She was very responsive and made sure we had everything we need. If the location works for you, definitely would recommend a stay here.
