Sweet Afton | Country House in Heart of VA Wine Country

2 bed, 1 bath country cottage in the heart of wine and beer country located in Afton "proper". This quaint cottage sits on 1.55 fenced-in acres (bring the pups!**) with incredible mountain views and a location that is hard to beat. Whether you are coming for the wine/beer hopping, a vineyard wedding (Veritas is a 3 min drive), or to get outdoors (Blueridge Tunnel Trail- 3 min, Shenandoah National Park - 15 min), Sweet Afton is perfect retreat! High speed, 1gig internet in the rural country.
Sweet Afton is a historic cottage, yet recently updated with modern amenities (central heating and air, updated kitchen appliances) and tasteful new furnishings provide a fresh, relaxing and bucolic atmosphere. The plot has well maintained gardens surrounding the house and walkways, a hammock, a fire pit with 6 chairs and two porches to enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine with company.
Upon the entry to the cottage (enter from driveway in the rear) there is a full kitchen with refrigerator and all of the cooking essentials you will need. Off of the kitchen is a spacious dining room (seats 6) with large bay windows providing beautiful mountain views towards the southwest. From the dining room, a central hallway leads through to the front of the house. Off the hallway, are both bedrooms (queen beds), the full bath and an inviting living room with a pull-out couch (king but also can be a double), a TV and a desk. All of the rooms feel very spacious due to the 10 ft ceilings and natural light from the large windows.
On the front of the house is a covered porch with six rocking chairs and a gas grill. Large bushes in front of the house provide privacy from the nearby road.
Truly a perfect retreat with everything you need and a great location.
**There is a $75 pet cleaning fee per dog - max 2 dogs**

Birthday get away
We stayed two nights with our pup. The house was very clean and just as described. A great location between the Afton Mountain and Veritas Wineries, both within a mile of the house. Very well appointed kitchen which we appreciated and used both nights. Nice television with many streaming options. Loved the fully fenced backyard with the fire pit for our dog to run. We'll be back!

Nice space with garden
Property was somewhat secluded with a nice garden. Inside was clean and well decorated & supplied. Not much privacy as you can easily hear talking throughout house.

Fence Yard Paradise
Booked for a few days to get some work done without too many distractions. My dog LOVED the huge fenced yard and had a grand time. I enjoyed the beautiful flowers growing in the gardens. It's a lovely home and the wifi was ridiculously fast. Has a great kitchen too and comfortable bedrooms.

Sweet Afton is well named.
We spent a very relaxing week here. Sweet Afton is a lovely farmhouse about two miles from the southern tip of Shenandoah National Park. It is very well situated for hiking, and near some nice wineries, cideries, and breweries. There are plenty of restaurants of all types within a short drive. The house itself was just about perfect. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds comfortable, and the the decor was calming and restful. The bathroom was a bit of a tight squeeze, but manageable. The porches were the perfect place for birdwatching, reading, or just relaxing, and the garden was so pretty. We look forward to our next visit.

Great mountain views
A perfect weekend get away for a couple or a small family. The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is adequately stocked. The property is well maintained and the gardens are gorgeous. The location is close to a varety of attractions. We will definitely be returning. I am already missing the fresh mountain air.
