Came up for a few days for some recreational activities at Lake Moomaw. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It felt like home with all the amenities. The nearby creek and the fenced in back yard was a plus. The king size bed was absolutely WONDERFUL. The best nights of sleep I've had in years lol. The host was amazing! She gave us suggestions for food and attractions to visit. She told us to call anytime for anything. She was so very sweet and friendly. A jewel she is. Thank you for a much needed getaway in a relaxing cottage. We will be back.

Cozy

A cute little cabin in a good location for our needs. Many things to do all over the place from the cabin. There is road noise both from Interstate 64 and from Midland Trail on both sides of the property, but it wasn't bothersome. To sleep and in the evenings was the only time spent at the cabin, so much to see around the area. Overall, we had a very nice six night stay.

Great location, self contained getaway

We would definitely come back again, we felt very much at home. The kitchen was fully equipped, the open plan gave the feeling of spaciousness and we were greeted with fresh flowers and delicious sourdough bread from the nearby bakery. The absence of near neighbors was a blessing in this time of pandemic.

Great little cabin!

We were in the area to go fly-fishing on the Jackson River. This cabin was conveniently located and very clean and comfortable. The porch area was a little noisy due to the nearby highways, but it was still very pleasant to sit there and look at the stars in the evening - and when it was time to sleep, the bedroom was quiet. The fresh flowers and peanut butter cookies were a really nice touch.

Nice Little College

Cottage was very clean and tidy with everything I needed for my stay! Though there is road noise, don’t let it deter you from selecting this little house. I did not even notice the road noise at night. I will definitely stay here again!

Lovely little house!

We had a wonderful stay in this sweet little house! Natalie is a perfect host and very helpful! We had everything we needed for our stay and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was! The fenced in yard was fabulous and our dogs loved being able to play and run while we enjoyed sitting on the porch. The fresh bread and flowers were a lovely surprise as well. I highly recommend this great little house and we hope to visit again soon!

Review of cottage

Overall we had a great time exploring that part of the Alleghenies and Sandra and Natalie were great in their suggestions for other possibilities that we did not know about. It was a very nice cottage to stay in and very centrally located to all the activities and places we wanted to visit. They treated us to a loaf of homemade bread and fresh flowers on the table. The property was beautiful.

Great property...little noisy

Most excellent cabin as it was clean with nice amenities. Fenced yard was great with large deck. Location 100 yards away from Rt. 64 and 75 ft from Midland Trail did make for pretty continuous traffic noise. If that is not an issue/concern it is a nice place to stay.

Friends place

When you walk in there were fresh flowers, a loaf of locally baked bread and a note asking for you to call when you get in. Felt like you were walking into a friends cabin that you had borrowed. Very welcoming and peaceful. My partner and I throughly enjoyed our stay and will return again!

Convenient but Private Location

Natalie, the property manager met us at the cabin to welcome us and left fresh flowers and bread from a local bakery. The smelled so nice and fresh upon entering and the AC felt great. The king size bed was so comfortable!! The cabin is located between 64 and another road, so you can hear cars but the backyard is private with no neighbors in view. Thank you for a great stay.

Wonderful Getaway

My wife and I certainly enjoyed our long weekend at the cottage. The hostess was welcoming and easy to work with. We found the home to be clean and neat, and we were greeted with fresh flowers and rolls. The place is attractive and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has all the amenities one needs to make meals. The appliances are in good working order. The furnishings are in good condition and comfortable. All technology worked seamlessly. It was great to getaway and relax at the cottage. We hope to visit again.

Great little retreat in southern VA

Nice, cute cottage in the Alleghany County region. All the amenities we needed, plus great access to nearby hiking and kayaking spots. No neighbors, so it was easy to keep our distance... took great advantage of the grill on the porch deck as well! Lovely place for a long weekend stay from DC. The only thing I would be aware of is the proximity of I-64, which passes on the other side of the trees in the backyard. Didn't bother us (couldn't hear it much inside the house), but it is definitely noticeable from the porch... Still well worth a visit!

My husband and I booked this place because we wanted to see some sights around Lewisburg and Covington and drive to the Cass scenic Railway about 1.5 hours away . By the way , if you go there, bring a map because you lose GPS when you get closer to it , but highly recommend ! We had great weather the whole time , easy access to different places , including taking a tour of The Greenbrier Hotel. The groundskeeper of this cottage , Natalie, was very friendly and informative . We were cool with the air and warm with the baseboard heater . Place was clean and bed comfortable ! I’m a light sleeper , so if you are too, bring ear plugs or some kind of white noise because the road noise from the highway at night is the only negative about our stay . Otherwise , a very nice stay !

It was okay

The house was a nice little get away from daily life. However it was dirty, we had to clean and clean just to enjoy without worrying about stepping on something or our dog eating cigarette butts off the floor. There were previous piles of dog defecation in the yard. Bag of open chips under the bed. Small things that made it a nuisance. The highway sounds were nice to hear as background and at night the stars were amazing. Its within range to stores and things to see. Just needed cleaned.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Bradley

Host profile image
I am a native Virginian, did my undergraduate work at JMU in Art Ed. in Harrisonburg, and received my Masters in Art Therapy at LMU, and have been living in LA for the last 30 years. This little cottage I built on a property that I purchased from My Mother's estate and was going to be my retreat when visiting back home. After my mother passed, I took over her original home and manage it now as a vacation rental and have added this cottage as a new listing. It is a sweet little get-a-way place in which to retreat, read or write or just catch up with time away from life's chaos. My family and friends love to use the cottage when they get a chance. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the location and the many surrounding points of interest that draw many to the area every year.

Why they chose this property

It's convenient to many points of interest in Alleghany and Greenbrier Counties. It is small and intimate and a perfect place for a single person alone or with their bestie or a couple alone or with 2 small kids. Pets are allowed.

What makes this property unique

It's an open concept cottage. Simple and easy access and plenty of parking. Sits on 4 acres of flat land for games. Has approximately one acre of fenced yard for the safety of your pets and children with a two-gate entrance and a trail to the creek is at the far end of the property. Horses and goats in adjoining fields. Has a nice porch where you face the creek and can sit to watch the sun go down. It's a much better solution for a couple of nights over a single hotel room in the nearest town for a similar price.
