The property feels private and peaceful, with a true country atmosphere while still being close to local attractions.

As a 1950s home, some of the floors have a light creak to them — we consider it part of the cottage’s charm, but wanted you to be aware.

Fire pit with seating (firewood provided)
Yard games including cornhole
Front porch and backyard seating areas
Other Things to Note:
No pets or smoking permitted
Hot tub is available year-round
Located in a quiet neighborhood
Intended for relaxed stays; events and parties are not permitted
This is a quiet, rural property intended for relaxed stays. While it’s perfect for gathering outdoors, quiet hours are respected, and the home is not suitable for parties or events.
Country Living & Pest Control
Carter’s Cottage is located in the beautiful Virginia countryside. With fresh air and open space comes the occasional visit from local insects.
We maintain a regular professional pest control schedule and take preventative measures year-round. While this significantly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during warmer months.
A few sightings are a normal part of country living — and part of the charm of being surrounded by nature.

About the host
Hosted by Heather Koehler
We are Heather and Scott Koehler, and although we are both from Ohio, we have called central Virginia home for over 20 years. We have five kids, and we love creating properties for people who want to create lasting memories with their friends and family!
Why they chose this property
We love that you can walk to so much from this property. The new Three Notch'd distillery is a great add to the neighborhood, but you can also walk to several restaurants, a bakery, and even a local grocery store.
What makes this property unique
This property is a combination of 1950's architecture but a modern farmhouse motif. The living space is wide open for vacation time hangouts.
