This rental property is beautiful and in a great community. The minute you walk in the front door you feel the charm and love of the home. Sarah was great to work with and communicated quickly upon being asked a few questions. The Marshall Diner was open on Thanksgiving Day so we ate there and the folks there were our on the road family for the day. A Great stay for sure!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We just ordered a new Schlage lock for the front door to resolve this issue. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention!

Josephine‘s cottage was absolutely amazing! Me and the family decided to go to Plains Virginia to visit the Scottish games. Upon arrival to the property, there was no cell phone service, so be sure to write down the code prior to your arrival. The house was absolutely spotless and had everything that you would need. Make sure that you visit the grocery store prior to your arrival. There are no condiments or food of any sort at the property. Main Street, which is only six minutes down the road has everything that you need. I recommend checking out the Blue Mountain Café.
