Sweet Afton | Country House in Heart of Wine Country
2 bed, 1 bath country cottage in the heart of wine and beer country located in Afton "proper". This quaint cottage sits on 1.55 fenced-in acres (bring the pups!**) with incredible mountain views and a location that is hard to beat. Whether you are coming for the wine/beer hopping, a vineyard wedding (Veritas is a 3 min drive), or to get outdoors (Blueridge Tunnel Trail- 3 min, Shenandoah National Park - 15 min), Sweet Afton is perfect retreat! High speed, 1gig internet in the rural country. Sweet Afton is a historic cottage, yet recently updated with modern amenities (central heating and air, updated kitchen appliances) and tasteful new furnishings provide a fresh, relaxing and bucolic atmosphere. The plot has well maintained gardens surrounding the house and walkways, a hammock, a fire pit with 6 chairs and two porches to enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine with company. Upon the entry to the cottage (enter from driveway in the rear) there is a full kitchen with refrigerator and all of the cooking essentials you will need. Off of the kitchen is a spacious dining room (seats 6) with large bay windows providing beautiful mountain views towards the southwest. From the dining room, a central hallway leads through to the front of the house. Off the hallway, are both bedrooms (queen beds), the full bath and an inviting living room with a pull-out couch (king but also can be a double), a TV and a desk. All of the rooms feel very spacious due to the 10 ft ceilings and natural light from the large windows. On the front of the house is a covered porch with six rocking chairs and a gas grill. Large bushes in front of the house provide privacy from the nearby road. Truly a perfect retreat with everything you need and a great location. **There is a $75 pet cleaning fee per dog - max 2 dogs**

The cottage was clean, well-equipped and peaceful. We enjoyed the dark skies at night, even seeing the Milky Way. The Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway were nearby and easy to get to.Shops and restaurants were a little farther but still accessible.

1st time to the area for a wedding nearby which made its location perfect! Plenty of comfortable seating on the porches for relaxing & bird watching. Are stay was short, but we had everything we needed. The coffee/ tea counter was perfect. The veiw from the dining room table, beautiful. The bed was comfy, the place clean & peaceful, making it a breeze to prepare for a family wedding. I would not hesitate to stay at Sweet Afton again, & take some time to explore this beautiful area.

Great country farmhouse with character
Perfect size for our family of 3 and the location was ideal as we were visiting family who live on both sides of Afton Mountain.
We had a really nice stay and the location meets our needs so we will definitely book again when we come down to Virginia.

Beautiful place in the country
A charming, tranquil location with a mountain view, large pet friendly fenced yard, and lovely flower gardens. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. There are two excellent wineries within a mile and easy access to others nearby. Hiking opportunities are numerous in the area. If you enjoy a good sit in a front porch rocking chair surrounded by nature, this is your spot. We would without hesitation recommend and return to this property.

Love this cottage
This is the second time we have stayed at Sweet Afton.
We really enjoy the location and the house itself.
We did have an issue with the water "going out" two times on the same day, but Drew came to the house almost immediately to fix it.
We plan to stay at this property again.
