Note on Country Living & Pest Control Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, offering fresh air, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings. With this setting comes the occasional presence of local insects. We maintain a quarterly professional pest-control program with additional treatments throughout the year. While this greatly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during certain seasons. Thank you for understanding that a few sightings are a natural part of staying in a rural area. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -
