Living and enjoying the taste of the local life here in Nelson County, Virginia near Wintergreen Mountain , we decided to share our small getaway with others!

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect place to unwind and listen to the waters of the Buffalo River wash over boulders as you warm yourself with that first cup of coffee in the morning or finish a great day of adventure with the perfect night cap! The view and solitude will not disappoint you during your visit to this quaint cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

What makes this property unique

We are only minutes from many major attractions in and around Nelson County and Amherst County, Virginia! If you are looking for that perfect "base camp" for your adventure or if you simply want to "sit in a lawn chair toes in the sand without a worry in the world and a cold drink in your hand".......look no further! (quoted song written by the Zac Brown Band -- Toes)
