The house was recently remodeled as a comfortable setting for couples or small families who want a break. We hold meditation retreats here twice a year, so it would work well for a writer or artist or a contemplative. Yet it is relaxing and healing for anyone. Upstairs is a full modern kitchen with new appliances. We made the cottage so nice that one of us could live there comfortably if we chose to do that. There is also a dining set and a comfortable full size futon couch. (Many futons are not that comfortable. We own an organic mattress company, so the mattress and frame are the best.) Downstairs is a queen size mattress and two comfortable Ekornes chairs (stressless chairs). We use Savvy Rest organic bedding. Within 12 minutes are several breweries, wineries, and a cidery. The property is 39+ acres, with 1/2 mile along Meriwether Creek. The volume of water varies with the season, but the feeling of energy is always powerful, calming, and clearing. There are about two miles of well maintained, private trails suitable for hiking or running. Trails are well marked, and a map is available. Over the course of eight years we have seen a few bears, raccoons, groundhogs, bats, lots of box turtles, a few snakes, a wide variety of birds, along with plenty of deer and other wildlife. We took pictures of what appeared to be bobcat tracks one winter, but we haven't caught sight of the nocturnals. Please note that there is no television, although we do have fiber optic for internet which is pretty fast and reliable. Cell service inside the cottage is intermittent, although right outside it is usually pretty reliable. So it's relatively easy to unplug. Also note that the main queen size bed is downstairs, and the bathroom is upstairs if you get up in the night. There are wonderful musical events spring to fall. Skiing at Wintergreen in the winter. Live music at our charming farmer's market in Nellysford on Saturdays May to November. For COVID prevention we wash the soft materials. For hard surfaces where COVID can survive longer, we thoroughly wash them and then disinfect them with natural disinfectants. We pay our cleaning help well, and they do an excellent job. Upon your arrival you'll see that our house is close to the cottage, but there is landscaping next to both buildings; and the cottage is actually quite private. It's likely that you won't see anyone on our 40 acres during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117230000/117222700/117222688/w1200h800x0y200-e54efb91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Brand new serene luxury cottage just off the Brew Ridge Trail Afton - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £124 includes taxes & fees 11 Nov - 12 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=117222688&PinnedHotelID=117222688&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97560000/97551500/97551498/2ccc0b10.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Afton Cottage w/ Hot Tub, Firepit, Mountain Views Afton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews £249 includes taxes & fees 13 Nov - 14 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=97551498&PinnedHotelID=97551498&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103440000/103438100/103438019/8713a2a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain View Meadow Cottage - Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia wine country Afton - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 8.8 Excellent 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=103438019&PinnedHotelID=103438019&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101140000/101131600/101131533/2ac8cb0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Getaway | Near Veritas & Blue Ridge Tunnel | Modern Comforts Afton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=101131533&PinnedHotelID=101131533&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29630000/29626700/29626675/a7ab13d3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Come and enjoy a beautiful view and relaxing time at Windy Knoll....
