About Curtis Absher
I grew up in Blacksburg and got a B. S. at VA Tech. That stimulated me to get graduate degrees from Oklahoma State and The University of Tennessee. I retired from the University Of Kentucky. After my late wife died, Kaye and I blended our families making for one with 7 children and 17 grand children. We value family and like to provide places for families to celebrate significant life events. As a 10 year old boy , I helped my father build the Harding Place. ( I doubt I helped as much as I thought I did but the house is well built anyway.)
Curtis Absher purchased this House in 2013
Why Curtis Absher chose G-01
Comfortably furnished, secluded but so close to everything, especially to Blacksburg and VA Tech Campus. Short drives can put you on hiking trails. A little longer drive can take you to the country village of Floyd, VA or the Blue Ridge Parkway.
What makes this House unique
The side porch and yard provide space to relax and watch birds and deer.

Perfect guest house
Thank you for reviewing our house. It is heart warming to know that it is serving to bring families together. I seems this is growing trend of our Cozy Cottages being used by local people as guests house. We feel honored to fill that need.
Great stay a the Cozy Cottage
Location, Location, Location is important in all real estate, whether you are buying or just staying for a weekend. 1.5 to 2 miles to about anywhere in town or on campus.
5-stars every stay
We value every guests but returning guests are the best. We also value the care given our houses by Julie and Misty. We can't make them new but we want them to be clean and comfortable. Thanks
for staying at the Cozy Cottages.
Perfect setting for our family visit to Blacksburg
It was good to see your family enjoying the porch. That is a perk that is priceless. It would be hard to guess the hours or days my family has spent there watching deer and the seasons change. You helped is with our desire to make the Cozy Cottages places where families gather. Advance planning is a good thing since the Cozy Cottage "Families" are growing.
Great place to stay in Blacksburg
Thanks for staying at the Harding Place Cozy Cottage. It actually was built in1950. My dad was the builder. He was frugal out of necessity but chose good materials and was a master carpenter. He and mother lived in for about 61 years. Until age stopped her mother said her two favorite things to do were to "write notes and clean house." I'm sure that helped preserve the house. BTW, they were married for over 71 years.
Great house/Great location.
I'm so pleased that your side trips were enjoyable. There is so much to see around Blacksburg when not attending events on campus. It is always exciting and reassuring when guests return.
Location
Great place for families and friends that like out door activities such as hiking and sporting events. This is NOT a party house but is a comfortable place for family gatherings.
