I'm a Florida native who grew up working as a lifeguard at the beach and boating but fell in love with the mountains. I am a 15 + year veteran working as a first responder(paramedic) in the healthcare and education industry. My work has exposed me to many wonderful experiences and some not so nice. But I can honestly say that the Southwest Virginia mountains and this property is my favorite place and brings me peace and tranquility. Being able to escape to the mountains has been a source of great inspiration, spiritual renewal, and calm. I fell in love with Southwest Virginia mountains about 6 years ago, after discovering its deeper charms while visiting here. Its been an adventure discovering the ever deeper layers of the area's history, its culture, the people, and the wonderful nature and beauty of this truly unique place in the world. I invite you to come experience this place for yourself.
During your stay I am just a text or phone call away. I have a housekeeper and handyman in the area if you need anything.
I will be available via email and phone calls as necessary. (remember, we have no landline and cell service depends on which cell provider you have. But no worries, if you place your cell phone on the porch a few minutes or just a short drive down the dirt road to the stop sign will provide you the cell coverage you need). I will do all I can to make sure guests have everything they need before and during their stay to enjoy the cottage. My team will be available should you need someone to come and assist you in person with any situation that may arise.
**Also, Do the bulk of your grocery shopping for your trip before arrival as Walmart is an hour away, but we do have a country store 3 minutes from the cottage with limited supplies.
Virgil and his team are experienced hosts who are committed to providing great stays for guests.
