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. High speed internet included.
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.

Wonderful stay

Have stayed here a few times over the years, it is our go to place near Roanoke. The house and property has been very well taken care of, extremely clean, and well supplied with everything you need. We love relaxing on the porch or up on the hill, the views are great. The location is perfect for getting to places to hike nearby or for going into Roanoke. We will be back again for sure.

We had a lovely stay at The Virginia Cottage. While visiting family in town, we found the Cottage to be the perfect location. Our hosts were attentive and responded quickly to any questions we had. We're already planning to book again for next year. I highly recommend staying here!
