Constructed in 2008, “Tucker’d Out” is situated on the eastern flank of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the base of Old Rag Mountain in Madison County, Virginia (right at the Madison/Rappahannock County line). The Shenandoah National Park is within view from the front porch of the cottage, and its many hiking trails and trout streams are easily accessible.

The opportunities for relaxation are abundant in this beautiful and historic part of Virginia. Whether you’re into hiking, fly-fishing, biking, dining out, antiquing, sipping wine at a nearby vineyard or simply reading a good book in a rocking chair, there’s something here for every taste.

Virginia’s most famous hike, the Saddle Trail on Old Rag, can be your morning activity, followed by dinner that evening at one of the many fine restaurants in the area - including the nearby Inn at Little Washington - one of the world’s finest restaurants. Or, if you want to take it a little easier, enjoy the 26 private acres that surround Tucker’d Out – complete with trails, meadows and woodlands, and have a cook-out on the property. Stocked trout streams are minutes away for fly-fishing enthusiasts. Cool swimming holes on hot summer days are another local treat. The list of opportunities for recreation and relaxation goes on and on. The owners will happily answer any questions you may have about things to do in the area.

A brand new outdoor shower with hot and cold water has just been added at Tucker'd Out. This has been a big hit with our guests!

The tranquility of these ancient mountains, with their waterfalls, overlooks and wildlife, will quickly bring you a sense of peace that will make you glad you came. Come visit Tucker’d Out soon, and let nature take its course!

  • We had an absolutely wonderful time at Tucker'd out. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It is the most beautifully appointed, comfortable, spacious and sunny cottage we have ever seen. And the setting is exquisite, in the shadow of the mountains, with many acres of open and wooded space and lots of trails to explore. We saw lots of different kinds of birds and wildlife. It is one of the most peaceful and lovely places we have ever been. We hiked along the Hughes River nearby and fly fished. There are wineries with winetasting opportunites nearby, and we enjoyed an excellent meal at Foti's in Culpeper. The owners of Tucker'd Out were very accommodating and helpful, and their kindness and graciousness are apparent from the many little touches at Tucker'd Out. We highly recommend Tucker'd Out for a getaway or celebration of any kind, and it is large enough to comfortably accommodate a whole family.

  • We just spent a lovely weekend (3 nights) at Tucker'd Out. It was such an awesome weekend. The home is so clean and has so many nice amenities. You can tell that the owners spent a great deal of time decorating and considering the needs of their renters. The upstairs is perfect for children with plenty of space. Tucker'd Out was one of the most tranquil/peaceful places that we have visited. The best part was having all the windows open and listening to the wildlife in the early morning. We plan to come back in the Fall.

  • We just got back from a 4 day stay at Tucker'd Out. We loved it! The cottage is beautiful inside and out, very clean and private. We enjoyed exploring the paths to the creek, toasting marshmallows, hiking the White Oak Canyon Trail to the top, the friendly folks at the Country Store. Our daughter loved the PB teen decor upstairs. Our boys looked for Big Foot, but did not find him. We loved the solitude. Can't wait to go back! Thank you, Tucker family!

  • We had a GREAT stay! One word for the cottage is BEAUTIFUL! Everything is so comfortable, you couldn't ask for much else! The owners are extremely accomodating and the location is ideal for hiking, visiting nearby vineyards or the towns of Sperryville and little Washington. We cannot wait to return to Tucker'd Out!

  • Thank you so much for the use of Tucker'd Out! It is a beautiful home and we very much enjoyed our stay. David and I had the master bedroom, which was wonderful! Very comfortable and we especially liked being able to see the mountain all through the night -- even through the shades -- with the help of the moonlight! What a gorgeous sight to wake up to see, as well. You have decorated the place just as I would have -- I loved it!!!!! And with the our friends and their daughter, it worked especially well for them to take the whole upstairs "suite" :-) We really enjoyed the porch and rocking chairs, too. On our way home to Old Town Alexandria, we stopped through Middleburg where we used to live and had lunch and did a little shopping -- every time we get out to the country, we realize how much we miss the Virginia countryside. So, we hope that you will have us back again sometime -- it truly was a spectacular fall weekend and we had a very, very nice time. We appreciate all of your efforts in making it a special place to enjoy.
