Charming cozy RIVERFRONT cottage on the Piney River. A little slice of heaven!!

The Chestnut House

The perfect place for you and your family to rest, unplug, enjoy novice trout fishing, and stargaze under the clean country sky.

Welcome to the Chestnut House. This recently renovated riverfront home is a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1926 as a log cabin made of real chestnut, it has since been used as a US Post office, country market, and later a house in 1936. The home is nestled between the Cardinal and Little Priest mountains in the Blue Ridge Range and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.

The main attraction of the Chestnut House is the outdoors. Just a step away from the back door is the Piney River. Enjoy the sounds of this rushing river from the beautiful sundeck furnished with Adirondak chairs, or the picnic tables, rock fire-pit, or hammock. This two-story cottage offers scenic river and mountain views, a wood stove, chef’s kitchen, and sleeping accommodations for up to six guests. Open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the rushing Piney River and nature throughout the house.

A fun fact about the home: Growing on the side of the home facing the river is a very old, almost extinct, American Chestnut Tree. This is why we call it the “Chestnut House”.

Lastly, don’t forget your fishing rods! Native brook trout and wild brown trout populate the river.

A wonderful place to recharge away from the city. The sound of the Piney River is constant and calming. The cottage was very quaint, beautifully decorated, clean and inviting! The owners had everything you needed and then some. Maria is an amazing host, she went above and beyond with little extras to really make you feel at home. We are definitely coming back this Fall.

Exceeded expectations
My husband and I had an absolutely lovely time at Maria and Randy’s house. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with thoughtful amenities. The views of the river are gorgeous and being able to hear it throughout the house was something special. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck at night and stargazing. Maria was a wonderful host, very communicative and prompt. A true gem of a property - will definitely be back!
