The Virginia Country Cottage: GREAT Location/Pet Friendly, 30 Acres, close I81

Discount for 7+ day stays. Our housekeeping activities entail an enhanced disinfection cleaning protocol. The Cottage is adjacent to the Appalachian Trail and Route #76 Biking Trail. Located in the East Coast Mountain Biking Capital Corridor of the Blue Ridge Mountains it is nestled on a 30 acre farm with access from the Town of Troutville, a designated Appalachian Trail Community. Easily accessible via I81, one mile from Exit 150B close to shopping and restaurants.
This 1940 farm house has been fully restored with all modern conveniences. The luxury bedding and fine furniture give the cottage a feel of a top Bed and Breakfast venue minus the breakfast. The Appalachian Trail is just a short walk from the cottage where a spectacular high meadow awaits with panoramic mountain views. The farm is enclosed by actively managed forestry sporting much wildlife including hives of honeybees. The orchard entails many heritage apple and pear trees. The Black Twig Garden is a ¼ acre enclosed organic working square foot garden for growing a variety of vegetables, berries, and flowers.
Local activities include hiking, biking, birding, fabulous dining, wineries, craft breweries, Greenfield Sports Center, Attic Productions, and historical sites within short driving distances. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking and tubing on the James River and boating on Claytor Lake are the preferred watersports. Hollins University, Roanoke College, Virginia Tech, and Radford University are easily reached via I81.
The Cottage has one formal Monticello inspired Chippendale porch and one casual porch outfitted with a gas grill. Campfire opportunities can be made available on top of the orchard overlooking the property. The first floor entails the Queen Size Bedroom with double sized closets, Full Bath with walk in shower, Dining Room, Kitchen with Nook, Living Room, Laundry room, and Den with game table/writing desk. The upstairs has a large King Size Bedroom with a walk in closet, a Twin Sized Bedroom with two beds, and another Full Bath with a skylight.

Writer's Retreat
The cottage was peaceful, clean, and convenient to Hollins University, downtown Roanoke and Salem. There were plenty of good restaurants close by, and the property had all modern day amenities. The hosts were very gracious and attentive. I would love to return.

Wonderful Experience
I truly enjoyed staying at this property. My friend and I were on a research trip and spent a lot of time on the front porch working. WiFi was very strong and the home was fully furnished with everything we needed. We were even invited to pick fresh strawberries in the garden! We both really enjoyed ourselves and agreed when we have to do one more trip in VA we’ll be staying here again.

Lovely property far exceeding our expectations
This property was wonderful! We were visiting the Roanoke area to attend a funeral and the Cottage was a wonderful retreat. The property had numerous outdoor areas to enjoy and the weather was beautiful. We also appreciated visiting with the owners and met their beautiful Labs. We would definitely recommend this property to others. We had no problems and all of our needs were met. Thanks Sybille and Mark!

Blue Ridge Retreat
We had a wonderful time staying at “the cottage”. My girls and I hiked the AT with easy access from the property, they also visited the “black twig” garden and loved taking a peek at the honey bees. The owners even set up a campfire for us to roast s’mores our last night. The house itself was close to kayaking, hiking, zip lining or just a drive on the parkway.

Country and Garden Delight
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time at the Country Cottage! It truly felt like a home away from home and the hosts were helpful and available yet offered privacy. The house was clean and well-appointed and the garden offered fresh veggies for dinner prep. We cooked out, went on hikes, visited with family and had the quiet we needed to relax and appreciate nature in all of its glory. We plan to return to see the surrounding sites in the area. Much appreciation to Sybille and Mark!

Good base for a family trip to Roanoke. A quiet retreat close enough to the city and nearby activities.
