Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1996
We opened Crooked Cabin Properties in 1991 with the original Crooked Cabin (VRBO# . In 1996, we purchased The Meadow Cottage which was a 1930's mother-in-law bungalow on a quiet, private 2 acre meadow in the heart of Abingdon. We restored the property to its original condition and added new amenities and lovely furnishings. We then went on to restore 2 other properties, The Brook House and The Creekside Hatch--both in the historic district. We love providing guests with the help they need plannig their trip and selecting events and activities. stored 3 more properties, all located in the historic district of town.
Why the Owner Chose Abingdon
We chose to buy our properties in the historic District of Abingdon, Virginia because we feel it is important for guests to have the feel of being in the heart of town and having easy access to all the wonderful events and activities that Abingdon has to offer. After staying in cottages in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg and seeing how fun it was to actually be in the center of things...we decided that we would like visitors to experience the same fell in our town. You have the experience of being in SW Virginia's oldest town, yet have easy access to all that the area has to offer in outdoor recreational activities, festivals and arts and music.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Guest have an easy walk to The World Famous Barter Theatre, Virginia Creeper Hike and Bike Trail as well as great shopping and dining! We are close to TVA lakes, Appalachian Trail, Bristol Race Track, and the Country Music Road. Heartwood Artisan Center and William King Regional Arts Center are only a short 10 minute drive. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the cottage, yet me close to all events and activities. The outdoor dining/firepit area provides a great gathering place on cool evenings. We provide our guests with complimentary passes to the Coomes Recreation Center, a state of the arts facility just minutes from your door...indoor/outdoor pools, tennis courts, exercise facilities, playground, walking trails and skateboard park. We also provide complimentary pastries, juices and coffees/teas on arrival mornings.

We will not attempt to tell you what time at The Meadow Cottage did for our spirits! We arrived tired and hungry after a long trip and found the lights on, good night cookies and a wonderful property awaiting us. We met two other couples from diffent locations for an extended weekend in Abingdon..(our first, their second). We laughed, talked, hiked, biked and enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) every night by the fire pit. We had a huge private meadow to ourselves with lots of stars twinkling above...yet we were only minutes from the main shopping area. Barter plays are a must and do not miss the New Heartwood Virginia Artisan Center...we are coming back next spring just to spend more time there! You can spend hours browsing in the shops and galleries and mealtime become important to us because of all the good restaurants. We especially enjoyed Rain...wonderful Butternut Soup! We also liked the cupcakes at Baby Cakes Cupcakery...to die for. Thanks for all you did to make our first time in Abingdon the first of many! The breakfast cinnamon rolls melted in our mouths and it was so nice to have half n half and juices for our first morning after a late arrival. I hope that the open air hot tub becomes a reality for next summer...that sounds like a plan! Firepit, hot tub and stars!
