CEDAR LANE - Private Cottage, Sophisticated Country Charm

Located just one mile from Middleburg, you’ll find this stunning two-bedroom, one-level house with an open floor plan perfect whether you’re in town for a wedding, a honeymoon, a weekend getaway, or just private accommodations in the country.

Middleburg is in Orange County Hunt Territory and is a horse lover’s paradise, with foxhunting, polo, driving, showing, racing, and eventing all here. Ask about horse stalls and turn out if interested. Our road is popular for walking dogs, afternoon runs and an occasional horse in harness pulling a cart or trail riders.

The area is also of interest to wine connoisseurs, with a number of vineyards nearby that are open for tastings and tours.

Or, you can explore the village of Middleburg, just a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk away. We are also close to Upperville, Marshall, and The Plains, which have their own unique shops and restaurants.

Whatever you choose to do, you’ll return to your private oasis after a busy day. Gather on the front flagstone porch in the cool of the pine and cedar trees, or watch the sun set as you grill on the new back deck with a view of the stable and surrounding pastures. Slowly unwind as you take in the feeling of a Virginia afternoon fading into evening.

When you enter the house, you’ll be greeted by the open, light-filled living room and dining area.

To the left of the living and dining areas, you’ll find a brand new, fully equipped kitchen with lots of counter space, where you can prep special cuts from one of several local butchers or concoct something delicious with local produce found at the nearby farmers markets.

There are two bedrooms. One King size bed can be broken apart into two XL twin beds if needed.. The second bedroom is set up with a pair of antique cannonball twin beds made up with cozy toile bedding.

There is a very large closet in the master bedroom that can be set up with a crib, if desired.

A large and well-appointed full bathroom with large vanity and storage is off the master bedroom. There is another half bath down the hall.

We hope you’ll join us in Middleburg for some of your favorite country pursuits!

In the interest of full disclosure:
There is a completely separate lower level apartment with no shared access which has been occupied by a long term tenant who is a senior writer for the Chronicle of the Horse. She has lived in this house since before the renovation; is quiet and respectful. You are very unlikely to ever know anyone is there. She parks her car behind a planted buffer 80' away and enters her apartment from where her car is parked and under the deck behind a great deal of landscaping never going near the front or sides of the house. The HVAC units are separate and there is heavy duty insulation between the floors.

If you have questions about this, be sure to ask.

The reviews will let you know that every guest feels completely secluded and private and in love with their own little oasis.

We keep a mowed path around the 3 acre property that makes for a nice little walk with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Parsons Road is another wonderful shaded walk, jog or bike ride.
