Quick Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was quiet, clean, and came with the ever so charming Dudley, the owner’s dog. Who is a good boy? Dudley! The farm is beautiful and private yet has excellent proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, vineyards, and breweries. We look forward to staying again!

Great Mountain Stay

Description and photos are completely accurate. This home exceeded my expectations. It is in a secluded area yet only 5 minutes away from a gorgeous vineyard/wine tasting. Several cute towns within a 30 minute drive. Home was very clean, full of amenities and very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the deer on the property. Host was easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this property!

True opportunity for rest and relaxation!

We were greeted with Dudley the adorable farm dog as soon as we drove on to the property. He ran in front of us and took us right to the cottage! It was easy to check in, and the house is stocked with every amenity you could need or want! The beds were comfortable, and nice hot water. It was easy to get to all of the local wineries and breweries, pretty easy access to highways, and the views were incredible! We were so lucky there was an opening at this time of year! Highly recommend.

Heavenly

The best VRBO I've ever stayed at. We were not wanting for anything because they thought of everything! All bathroom and kitchen amenities provided. There was also wood to build a fire outside. Location was off the beaten path but close to everything. We will be back. The only suggestion I would add is that the carpet in the bedrooms could be replaced. We were sad to leave such a beautiful place. The local farm dog, "Dudley", was very friendly and we brought treats for him.

About the host

Hosted by Charlie (Owner)

Host profile image
As a passionate professional with a deep love for hospitality, curation, and the arts, hosting is truly a joy for me. I love creating beautiful, welcoming spaces where people can slow down, connect, and reset. For me, being a host isn't just about providing a place to sleep—it’s about sharing the magic of this region, from its incredible local flavors and stunning landscapes to the peaceful rhythm of mountain life. Whether I’m perfecting the details inside the cottage, tending to the gardens, or ensuring everything is pristine for your arrival, my goal is to make your getaway feel effortless, inspiring, and completely unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

​Afton is a truly spectacular slice of Virginia, and I completely fell in love with its vibrant, community-centered energy. It sits perfectly at the intersection of breathtaking natural beauty and incredible local culture. Being right along Route 151—the famous Brew Ridge Trail—means you have world-class wineries like Veritas and Hazy Mountain, exceptional craft breweries, and charming local farm stands practically in your backyard. What I enjoy most is the balance here: you can spend the afternoon exploring a historic trail or tasting award-winning local blends, and then immediately escape back to total, quiet serenity surrounded by majestic mountain views. It is a peaceful paradise that still has so much to offer.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets the Cozy Mountain Cottage apart is the balance of complete privacy, curated outdoor experiences, and meticulous attention to comfort. From the moment you pass through the gated entrance, the property feels like your own private estate. Inside, you'll find incredibly comfortable, pristine beds and a cozy fireplace designed for pure relaxation. Outside, the property comes alive: you can sunbathe on the lounging chairs facing panoramic mountain views, catch stunning sunsets, pick fresh ingredients from the front herb garden, or fire up the barbecue grill. For a truly unique experience, you can head down to the lower field by the running creek to discover "Camp Dudley"—our custom-built campsite setup with a private fire pit, offering an authentic, stargazing mountain experience right on the property.
