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 Blue Ridge Highlands
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.

CLOSE TO CAMPUS/CONVENIENT
Was a great place to stay for our daughter's graduation. Convenient place to stay. Close to VTech. Clean, country environment. Able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Able to host a small graduation party for about 18 family members. Everything we needed for our stay was included (kitchen and bathroom items). Did not have to buy anything except food and drinks. Although it only has 1 1/2 baths, we were able to work out the shower schedule for the folks that stayed at the house (6 adults/2 children). Convenient location to hotels where other family members were staying. Would definitely stay there again.
Stay was comfortable, convenient location with gorgeous views!!
Overall this home was clean, comfortable, and owners were very attentive, accommodating and easy to work with
Perfect VT Alumni Reunion!
Curtis was more than helpful and accommodating for my VT Alumni weekend reunion. The house was well-maintained, cozy and comfortable for my friends and I. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it is a great location from downtown Blacksburg. We were easily able to grab an Uber - and some people even walked! Coffee on the porch with the beautiful view was exactly what we needed to start our mornings.
Looking forward to staying again!
Cozy and comfortable!
The cottage was great, warm and inviting. Curtis was wonderful to work with. The proximity to VT campus was a plus for us. We especially enjoyed the deer that came to visit the apple tree every evening.
Love it here
This is the second year we've stayed at Cozy Cottage and it was just as great at the first time. Curtis provides excellent customer service helping me with the reservation process and my parents to get into the cottage.
The cottage itself is immaculate, it always feels cleaner than a hotel. All of the rooms are quite comfortable and my daughter (5yo) especially loves the attic and counting the beds ;-)
Can't wait to return!
Quaint and Comfortable!
This is a well-maintained older property with everything you need for an extended stay. The owner was extremely responsive by email and text about questions and issues. Groundhogs and deer wander through at night, drawn by the crabapple tree on the property. Great views and breezes at night! Super close to Virginia Tech--just a seven minute drive.
Map
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.
