Super Cute and Cozy farm cottage

Host Christine was very responsive and check in was easiest we've ever had. Nice updated bathroom. We loved the country feel but were close enough to towns for dinner. We spent most of our time driving around exploring history in Virginia. We saw deer and a family of foxes near the cottage which was fun to watch. Unfortunately we were there during the record heat wave so couldnt enjoy the egg chairs outside or check out the walking trails. Only very minor thing we would of liked was a box of kleenex.We would definitely consider staying at Mint Cottage again we we come back to the area.

Our Mint Cottage Stay

Very clean cottage with well-stocked kitchen with a great outdoors area for grilling and hanging out. Quiet relaxing location way up off the road. The hosts were unobtrusive but available. We have already recommended this cottage to our immediate family for future stays.

The cottage is lovely, with modern kitchen and bath and charming furnishings throughout. Views are wonderful and the location is quiet, set well back from the road. The host is very prompt and courteous in communications. She went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us when I temporarily mislaid the key.

Everything was perfect! Clean, comfy, and peaceful. The pictures really do not do this property justice. Lots of neat details inside and out. The hostess is easy to get in touch with and truly cares about your stay! We plan to return.

Beautiful little house, wonderful location

We spent a perfect weekend enjoying the coziness of the house, the magic of the land around it with our dog and the comfort of an evening around the fire pit watching the sun set behind the mountains! The hikes all around are first class and Christine thought of everything to make our stay perfect!

Great Stay at the Cottage

My sister and I had a weekend getaway at this quaint cottage, and it was so lovely! The grounds are beautiful, and the house was clean, inviting, and had everything we needed. I had a couple of questions for the owner as well and she responded very quickly and was so helpful. This was a very comfortable stay and I will be back!

Quaint farmhouse 10 minutes from interstate.

This house suited our needs as we were driving across country to move my daughter for college, and had a moving truck, so we were able to park right outside the front door, in a quiet secluded property. Good hospitality from owner, and easy to communicate with. I would stay here again.

Great quiet spot to get away

The property is beautiful and the amenities are as described. The only mention I would have is that it does not have a bath tub (not a deal breaker for us) but small kids may not be as okay with a shower. Our little (<18 m) loved the space and chasing the lightning bugs. I would definitely go back!
