10 minutes from VIR. Great bass fishing! Rustic cottage on large private pond.
10 minutes from Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in rural southern Virginia.
Serene and rustic cottage on the edge of the woods overlooking a private 10-acre pond.
(Additional Information can be seen on the Villa Cathedral site https://www.villacathedral.com/merrybrook)
You will want to share the experience with a group of your best friends or your family. If you are here for an event at VIR, you can unwind from your day and relax to the sounds of nature all around while rocking in the chair on the covered porch or in the yard under the stars. Bring your fishing rod and enjoy casting your line and reeling in a few largemouth bass if you are so inclined. As you sit quietly, you will start to see the local wildlife characters appear.. . the woodpeckers, owls, hawks, herons, geese, ducks, deer, otters, beaver, turkeys...
Merrybrook Cottage is also ideal for small group retreats, writers retreats, and reunions. It is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with 6 beds and a fully equipped kitchen. We also can provide additional rooms at the Villa Cathedral B&B on the adjoining property that is part of the Williamson Farm.
