Enjoy this private location tucked back in the woods but less than a mile from the Caverns, Natural Bridge, Zoo and Dinosaur Kingdom 2. This newly remodeled home has an open concept living space, fully equipped kitchen and a spacious bathroom. The decks on front and back invite to sit and relax with a good book, observe nature (wildlife is abundant!) or view the starry sky at night.
On this 4 acre lot are only 2 cottages so privacy and lots of space is ensured. There is plenty of space for your kids to play tag or to toss the ball for your pup. After a day of exploring our neighborhood attractions kick back by a campfire, play board games, read and soak up quality time with your loved ones. If lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of some of our abundant wildlife.
We aim to offer you a clean & comfortable cottage in a beautiful, serene setting where unforgettable memories are made with friends & family alike.
But please note:
****while we have cell service, we do not offer wi-fi, TV or internet. This is a fantastic opportunity to unplug, unwind, recharge and focus on family, friends, nature and simple joys.****
Downtown Lexington is a short 18min drive away and has so much to offer A very cute downtown with shops, restaurants, many historic sites and of course VMI, W&L and the Virginia Horse Center.
Buchanan is approx. 15minutes drive from the cottage. Walk across the Buchanan Swinging Bridge if you dare! Rent canoes, kayaks, rafts or river tubes to cool off in the James river or visit the weekly flea-market or one of the many antique shops.
The Blue Ridge Parkway can be accessed from 3 different points all within 15minutes or less (Glasgow US-501 is 6.8 miles; Buena Vista US-60 is 14miles, Buchanan US-43 12miles away)
There is so much to see and do in this area and there is really never a bad time to visit the Shenandoah Valley. Its a sight for sore eyes any time of the year. Come stay with us and see for yourself. We would love the opportunity to host you at our wonderful cottage. Hope to see you soon!
