This perfect retreat offers a fully equipped kitchen with gas range, laundry room, dining room, living room, office room and half bath on the main level. The second level has a master bedroom with a king size bed and private bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. The other two bedrooms, feature one queen bed and two full sized beds. These two bedrooms share a large bathroom room with double sinks. Getting back to nature is as simple as stepping out the front door. Nature trails criss-cross through this private 25 acre wilderness providing you with ample privacy as you enjoy a stroll or even mountain bike ride through the Virginia woodlands. The home features a prominent wrap around covered porch that provides plenty of opportunity to relax and soak in the beauty of seclusion and tranquility. Even the pitter-patter of rain becomes treat under its spacious shelter. Take advantage of the outdoor furnishings for a lovely outdoor BBQ from the provided Weber gas grill (please only use outside of covered porch). Toast the sunsets from the sun deck and on summer evenings and watch the lightning bugs bring on the star filled sky. In autumn you will discover the splash of colors as the trees celebrate the change of season. While spring will bring the fresh fragrances of an awakening forest and love songs of amorous birds. Winter time is so special, as you discover that even with a quiet quilt of snow, the forest is teaming with life. (Four wheel drive recommended if winter storms are pending) The culture and history abound in this area and many terrific sites are within an easy drive. To the west is the Blue Ridge Mountains and Skyline Drive which provides access to many hiking trails and scenic views. Quaint towns hosting fabulous shops, antiques, gourmet restaurants, and plenty of wineries are all within a short reach.

Great place to be unplugged
I really like this house. The decorations are great and the house had a huge yard. We took a tour in the next morning and enjoyed the fresh air. The house was clean. The beds were very comfort and we really like it. kitchen had plenty dishes and cooking stuffs. I would like to come back for another visit in the future.
We would love to host you again! Thanks for the review.
Great accomodations for family visit to Warrenton
We had a fantastic experience at this quiet location. Very comfortable place with fully functional kitchen and gas grill for entertaining. Nice large property for strolling around. Comfy beds and friendly outdoor kitties. Lots of books and games for kids. 30 miles from Shenandoah National Park, 20 minutes from Warrenton and 1 hour from Dulles airport. I plan to return someday!
Thanks Kevin! It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to see you again!
Modern large retreat
