⚠️ Online maps and GPS directions are unreliable for the last few turns to the cabin. We strongly recommend you read the directions in our digital guide to take you all the way in.
Bugs and spiders are common in the area. We have regular pest treatment, but sometimes the little critters find their way in. Let us know and we'll call someone out to spray again.
Black bears have been sighted on the property. Please use caution, keep a safe distance, and ensure your vehicle is locked and all food items brought into the cabin.
Guests are responsible for verifying if there are any burn bans in Greene County before using the outdoor firepit

Stanardsville and the Lydia Mountain area are at the transition from the Piedmont region of central VA into the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. The cottage is at about 1000 feet elevation, so it's spared from the worst of winter cold, but still close enough to easily access waterfall hikes and Skyline Drive. Central VA is also well known for wine country, independent cattle farms, horse stables, and some of the best antique malls of the east coast.

Absolutely wonderful! A perfect, cozy home for two! We stayed for two nights and it was equipped with everything we needed & more. The games & hot tub are a nice bonus. On our first night here, there was a power outage and the host was fast and reassuring in letting me know when it would be fixed. Couldn't complain one bit! Perfect spot if looking to visit the national park or just staying in!
The host was extremely accommodating; communication was clear and timely. Cute and clean cabin. Fire pit and hot tub were a nice addition, as getting to and from the main road does take sometime. The remoteness was welcomed.
We enjoyed the cabin very much. Clean and nice layout. We had a bit of an issue with the check in access code which was frustrating after driving so far, but it did get resolved. Loved the seclusion of the cabin and the privacy. Definitely recommend.
