About Tony Mayhew
We purchased this farm in 1978 where we raised our family. The farm was once a full working dairy farm. Up until this year, we have rented this cottage as a long-term rental. We are pleased to now offer the cottage as short-term rental where visitors to the area can enjoy a home such as ours.

Best home away vacation so far!
We could not have been more blown away with the environment and scenery! When we pulled up it was pitch black and we had no idea excatly what we were driving up to but boy were we in for the best surprise when we woke up. The inside of the house was equally as beautiful with every inch tactfully decorated and warm and inviting. We are definitely coming back.
Great views, wonderful people to rent from.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet place with a wonderful view that is away from the crowd. This place is only a little ways outside of Bedford and in only a few minutes drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The property owners are great people and really came thru for us during the heat wave and installed 2 additional room air conditioners to ensure that we were comfortable. They asked us for a good time to come in to install the units and made sure that we were not inconvenienced. This is a beautiful area of the country with good places to eat and things to see and the people are so friendly and helpful. We hope to come back again, perhaps in the fall to enjoy the beautiful foliage.
Quite and relaxing
Beautiful location. Cute and clean.
Relaxing
The cottage was clean and comfortable . The views of the Otter Peak Mountain and Blue Ridge was beautiful . The owners where very friendly and welcoming.
Majestic and peaceful
Our stay here was way more than we could have hope for. I would love to love in a cottage like this for as my house. It was super comfy cozy and felt like home. Everything we could have needed was there and it was very clean and updated. The farm is beautiful! There's trees all around it and the mountain view is amazing. We enjoyed the cute pups and horses. Attempting to fish in the catch and release pond was so nice and peaceful. At night you can see all the stars. There are also many fun and interesting things to do close by and they made a folder to keep in the cottage that gives you activity and restaurant recommendations. Speaking of restaurants, all of the food was amazing! And you have to hike the mountain trails of peaks of otter, it is worth the view. We will definitely be finding our way back to the cottage again!

Lovely Home Away From Home
It's been two weeks since our time at the cottage. When can I return? My husband loved the fishing (he caught a HUGE catfish in the catch-and-release pond). I loved the home-away-from-home feel and the ability to leave it all behind (as long as I had wi-fi . . . ah, such is life). We were in town to visit family in the area and the cottage was the perfect location. The vistas from the cottage were breathtaking. The hospitality will charm your socks off. The cottage is well-maintained and well-appointed. Definitely a good value. Thanks to our gracious hosts for the stay and hoping to return.
