Overview
Restored 3 Bedroom, 2 bath cottage a stone's throw from the Hunters Head Tavern
The Hunt Country Cottage is located in the heart of Upperville Virginia, home to the nation’s oldest and most prestigious horse show. We bought the home as a getaway second home in 2005 and have spent the past year restoring and decorating the hunt box with loving care.
The home has a standing seam metal roof, clapboard style siding, a stone foundation, cozy front porch and second floor dormer windows. The interior is painted with warm colors and accented by antique oak barn wood paneling and trim in the family room. The flooring is the original antique heart pine.
The cottage is decorated as a traditional English Hunt Box, with equine art and memorabilia, lovely antiques, warm carpets on the heart pine floors, and high-end bed linens.
Enjoy the outdoors from covered porches front and rear. Relax in the comfort of a fully-equipped modern house with a touch of our English heritage. The back yard is accented by a small stream where neighborhood song birds and hawks visit frequently.
Enjoy fine dining and an old English pub across the street at the Hunter’s Head Tavern, a favorite destination for locals and visitors. The village of Upperville is peaceful, quiet, and friendly. Broad sidewalks make for an easy stroll through town or visit to the local shops.
Sky meadows state park is a 10 minute drive to the west. The park provides regular events, hiking trails, camp sites, a stocked fishing pond, and access to the Appalachian Trail. Drive a little farther and enjoy nature's harvest at Stribling and Hartland Orchards.

About Dan Allen
We are DC area natives with family roots in McLean, Great Falls, DC, and Maryland. We've settled in the Town of Vienna because of its convenience, safety, and community spirit. Travel is our passion and the Hunt Country Cottage is one of our favorite destinations.
Dan Allen purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Dan Allen chose Northern Virginia
The breathtaking beauty and peacefulness of Hunt Country Virginia is what attracted us to Upperville. The drive from our home in Vienna is short and we love the feeling of arriving in Aldie and glimpsing the Blue Ridge Mountains less than 20 minutes away. The hunt country provides an abundance of activities, a relaxing atmosphere, and very interesting and friendly people. The scenery is beautiful, the air is clean, the mountains are spectacular, and everyone is on vacation.
What makes this cottage unique
We discovered this property quite by accident. At the time we were looking for investment property in Vienna. However, this home was listed with an incorrect zip code and appeared in our search results. After investigating further, we fell in love with the home, its location, and the hunt country experience.
Map

Charming cozy cottage
Perfect location for visiting family in the area. The house was so immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay. When we come back, we will definitely stay here again!
Very charming, clean and comfortable. Great location , great atmosphere.
The cottage is well located near Middleburg and the various vineyards. Loved walking to the pub across the street, tasting room nearby, too.
Management/ owner met us with the key and gave us the tour. Everything was in exceptional order.
Make sure you enjoy the fire pit on a nice evening.
Perfect house for a girl's wine weekend getaway!
Dan was very flexible with the checking in process. When we arrived, everything was just like he had shown or said it would be. Dan even went early and made sure the AC was turned down so the house would be cool when we got there (it was over 95 degrees). The house was clean and so cute, it had everything we needed to be comfortable. Perfect size for 4 friends. Kitchen was fully stocked and we even used the grill to cook out. The house is right in the middle of wonderful wineries and local restaurants. Loved it!
Beautiful and charming cottage
When we arrived , the house inside and out looked exactly as it did online. It was very clean and extremely well kept . The landlord was an absolute pleasure as well . We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this country cottage to anyone looking to rent in that area. There are a ton of vinyards to visit and great restaurants as well . It was a perfect weekend away.
Wonderful home, fantastic location!
We really enjoyed our weekend at the Hunt Country Cottage. It was comfortable and very conveniently located. We walked to the tavern across the street and loved the Country Store up the block for breakfast. Half of our group spent the day at the state park nearby (don't forget your sunscreen!) and the other half of us had a great day shopping in Middleburg and visiting the local wineries.
Home is comfortable and had everything we needed. The fire pit in the backyard was an added bonus. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely stay here again.
Wonderful Family Vacation
My family of 7 stayed here for a weekend trip. The cottage is beautiful and is in a great location. Dan is incredibly easy to work with and very accommodating. There was a big storm prior to our arrival, so some of the things in the house weren't working quite right. Dan was attentive to our needs and did everything possible to get us what we needed. He went above and beyond what we expected. My family and I enjoyed the house and our weekend getaway.
