So serene!

The cottage was cuter than we anticipated! We loved the cozy family / fireplace room. The gas fireplace heats the room up very nicely. The king size bed in the main bedroom was quite large and fairly comfortable, with lots of big pillows. The portable electric heaters available in every room worked fine too. We would have liked to stay longer than two nights, but alas... another couple had already reserved that day. Sarah, the owner, is very responsive to questions during your stay. Thank you for a great getaway!

Amazing Weekend Getaway

My husband and I feel so blessed by the time spent at this amazing cottage. Our first blessing was being greeted by a very sweet horse. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. Fresh baked cookies on the table. We enjoyed the beauty of the property. Thank you for hosting us this weekend.

Wonderful peaceful location

The bed was very comfortable with the right amount of bedding. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of space in the refrigerator. Enjoyed not being close to busy roads or any traffic, and enjoyed the view.

Perfect little cottage on a farm in the country.

My grandson loved visiting the horse(Buck) being greeted by the dogs and seeing the bunnies. Beds were comfortable and welcoming after a busy day of sightseeing.

Beautiful property

Great location. 5 minutes from Peaks of Otter and the Blue Ridge Highway for site seeing and hiking. 35-40 minutes from Roanoke or Lynchburg. The best of both Worlds. Property is clean and essential equipped. Beds extremely comfortable and towels and bedding very clean. Air conditioners in every room. Very comfortable.

Peaceful Weekend in The Country

Review of Mayhew Farms Cottage Mayhew Farms Cottage is a perfect blend of charm and comfort, offering everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The gas log fireplace adds a cozy touch, especially on cooler evenings, making it an ideal spot to curl up with a book or enjoy a quiet evening indoors. The screened porch is a standout feature—whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, it provides a peaceful space to soak in the surrounding views without worrying about bugs. The porch swing is an added delight, perfect for gentle rocking while enjoying the fresh air. The beds deserve a special mention—truly some of the comfiest I’ve experienced in a rental. They ensure a restful night’s sleep, leaving you refreshed and ready to explore or simply relax further. Overall, Mayhew Farms Cottage offers a wonderful mix of rustic charm and modern comforts. It’s perfect for a weekend retreat or a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Lovely!!

I stayed here with my two toddlers for a family visit and the cottage was so sweet and charming. Communication was very swift and we very much enjoyed our stay. The kids enjoyed the little welcome treat that was left for them as well as the horses that greeted us in the morning. We would definitely recommend!
