LOCATION * LOCATION * LOCATION! It is our pleasure to welcome guests to enjoy our lovely, private, cottage - located five + min from village of Middleburg and in the middle of most our area has to offer. Open lawns, trees, stream, convenient parking. Upperville is just west and Great Meadows to the south. Vineyards surround the area. Wonderful art museum, horse events, a film festival, vineyards, breweries, restaurants, shopping, churches, polo during season, Salamandar Spa, the Emmanuel Christmas Shop and much more to enjoy around Middleburg. Or, just come to relax in the country. We are an organic property owned by a British gentleman and his lady (who spent years in Africa). Be welcomed by a newly remodeled cottage that offers twin beds together as a king (ask us to separate if you prefer). Upscale linens, a creative barn door leading to a bath with rain shower. Kitchenette is equipped with stainless refrigerator, microwave, convection oven, coffee maker, sink and more.... A comfortably furnished sitting room with (antenna) TV, love seat, comfy chair(s), work/dine table, and WIFI (sometimes spotty) typical of this area. (Cable is on the way!!!)

Verizon cell/internet is on occasion spotty but improving. TV is local channels only. Free WIFI in town if necessary.

We were at a loss to find high quality lodging, at a reasonable price, where we could celebrate my wife’s birthday (Dec 18) with our Scottish terrier (“Rufus”) when our usual inn (in MD) stopped accepting pets. My search took me to a VRBO listing for a “charming cottage” in Middleburg, VA. Pet friendly, it looked as if it might meet our needs. Did it ever! Booking was simple and Sandi (the hostess) was very responsive to my inquiries. We arrived during a major rain storm, yet the cottage was cozy, warm, and welcoming. It is extremely neat and clean, and, despite the very accurate photos, the cottage still exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the tasteful décor and many thoughtful touches…water bowl and biscuits for Rufus, birthday champagne and a greeting card, lots of area guidebooks, comfortable bed, and a very well outfitted kitchen with everything but a stove (not permitted by regulation). Located in a neighborhood with estate homes, the cottage is EXTREMELY quiet. Middleburg is a 10 minute drive away via U.S. Route 50, and, with all the shops decorated for the holiday, it was picture-perfect. Finally, Sandi could not have been more accommodating. We know accepting guests with pets can be a gamble and we (and Rufus) do not take pet acceptance for granted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. A new tradition is born! Oh, and about that recent 3-star review in a sea of otherwise 5-stars: We saw it. We ignored it. We’re so glad we did!
Stayed here while I was attending the Middleburg Film Festival with a friend and it could not have been a better fit for both of us. The beds were nice and made up, the kitchen was extremely handy and Sandi was easy to contact whenever something needed to be cleared up. It's a perfect spot for a person or couple to stay at while exploring Middleburg.
My friends and I came to hunt in the plains & middleburg & this was a great location to stay. Sandy was a great host with good communication with us before the stay. Cottage was easy to find & well appointed. Will definitely stay here again.
Mold smell was unwelcome as a first impression opening the door. It eventually went away. Dog hair on bed and sofa was not clean. Shallow freestanding Bathroom shelf fell forward on me when I leaned back to reach for toilet paper holder in an awful location. Next time I leaned back, 3 huge towels fell on top of me - there was no place to hang them. Sink was not clean with scum on drain. Bathroom and corner shower are extremely small. Sliding barn door came off of hinge and had to be put back on track. The experience here was very frustrating. The cleaning fee should be included in price of the room - do I want to pay this much or not? overpriced due to unclean areas and lack of amenities. Window air conditioner with plug thru bottom of window let in cold air overnight. Sandy was defensive when we discussed our surprises and she told me I was difficult. She said next time we should stay at The Salamander. Her condescending comments were uncalled for. I read all reviews which showed one old rating at one star. Should have taken that as a warning. The kitchen is extremely small with no table to eat at except a very small table on grass outside. I couldn't find the silverware since it was on an open shelf with a piece of paper on top of it. Was it an English Cottage? No way, since we had visited the Cotswolds for 2 weeks and stayed in Cotswold Inns and Hotels. Was it OK? yes, location was good, that’s all. Would we stay there again? Definitely not!
The cottage is in a perfect location! Close to all the major site seeing attractions, wineries, etc. The host was very nice and communication was great. For coffee users - the house comes with a keurig and the hosts provided k-cups so you don't need to bring your own coffee unless you're particular :)
Loved the cottage, the town and the hosts. Right-sized for two. Lots of suggestions and guidebooks provided. Everything exceeded expectations.
I rented this cottage for a business associate who came to town to do some artwork for us at our nearby Middleburg property. He said the property was clean, quiet, and so close to us. The host was wonderful to work with. I definitely plan on booking with her in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at the the cottage, perfect location to wedding venue and after party. Host contacted us with the check in info we needed and answered our questions promptly. Beautiful horse country, quiet wooded cottage!
The only problem was WiFi but in this whole area it is spotty. Only microwave and oven in kitchen
The cottage was quaint, clean, and charming. Just off the beaten path, it was a wonderful, peaceful place to stay. I hope to go back soon.
Charming cottage less than 10 mins from downtown Middleburg.
Wonderful, peaceful property. Sandi was very accommodating. Enjoyed our visit.
Best VRBO experience ever. Sandi & Peter are warm, attentive hosts respectful of their guests' quiet time and privacy. Sandi was there to greet us when we pulled into the property after dark to ensure we found our way. Even the smallest request was met promptly with a smile. The property is quiet but just miles from Middleburg's bustling shopping and dining. Sandi also provided outstanding dining suggestions. The art and furnishings of the cottage are a perfect fit for the Virginia hunt country location. Will definitely stay again!
This little cottage was perfect. It was clean, conformable, the hosts were responsive, charming and helpful, it's right outside of town and the property was just beautiful!
We enjoyed our stay in this quiet, cozy guest suite. Greeted warmly by the owners upon arrival, they checked with us each day to see if we needed anything. Located near downtown Middleburg, it was the perfect getaway for a quiet weekend.
The property is beautiful, and the hosts are super. They provided a peaceful getaway weekend for me. I would love to come back one day!
Neighborhood, insurance, and community restrictions did not allow 3, 70 year old women, 2 cars, who only knit, to stay in this rental. Last minute plans allowed another friend to join us. Owner held firm to 2 people only. Be forewarned. . Certainly an owner's right, but will look elsewhere for future stays in that region.
A lovely property so convenient to the horse show in Upperville and downtown Middleburg. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and I’m looking to returning next year.
The property was very nice, secluded on a private lane off the main highway. The gardens surrounding it and the grounds were beautiful, even if they were wet from a rainstorm! It was so cozy; had all the accommodations you might want, especially the king -sized bed. Our dogs loved it there. There is a small stream that goes right behind the house only a few feet away. The cottage has a very private feel; and the hosts are wonderful!
Great little cottage. Perfect for a few days getaway. Go for fun and stay busy as internet and cell service is spotty at the cottage but it’s perfect for a quiet couple of days
Loved this little gem (plenty of space) for my daughter and me as we visited Middleburg area. Can't wait to return and hope it will be available again. Thank you for being so helpful Sandi!
