Lyndhurst, Virginia
Our four bedroom cottage is located in Waynesboro, VA at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway meet here, so it's a perfect place for your family to meet too!
We are adjacent to the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest and the Sherando Lake Recreation Area, and only fourteen miles from the skiing, golfing and tennis at Wintergreen Resort. Yet we are yet so easy to get to -- tucked in the crossroads of Interstates 81 and 64, only five miles from exit 96 on Interstate 64. We are only 27 miles from the University of Virginia and Monticello in Charlottesville, VA and only 150 miles from Washington, DC.
Oak Tree Cottage sits in the edge of the forest, overlooking the open fields of our 1,000-acre farm and the Blue Ridge mountains. We have hiking trails, wildlife and bird watching galore, and restored meadows. In early September, monarch butterflies migrate through the farm.
Relax and enjoy nature or head out to explore nearby wineries, breweries, history, biking events, the Appalachian Trail or the arts. We are a great home base to explore Virginia!
The first floor of the house has a living room, a full kitchen with island, a large dining table with seating for nine, a glass-walled room that provides a full view of the forest, as well as two bedrooms and a full bath. On the second floor, there are two more bedrooms and another full bath. The house has hot- water baseboard heat. We also have a private pool available for the use of our guests. There is no lifeguard on duty.
Small weddings are allowed on property for an additional fee. Please inquire if you are interested.
We traveled here with 6 adults and 3 children and had a wonderful time! The cottage is in a beautiful location and close enough to get to stores and restaurants. It’s incredibly clean, well-appointed and perfect for big groups. The owners are very friendly. We enjoyed exploring outside and playing games with the kids. There are also lots of hiking options nearby. We were there for a wedding but we would definitely come back!
My wife and I came with a couple of our adult sons and two close family friends. We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. The pool and the cottage are immaculately clean. The owners live right on the other side of the pool and are SO nice. They even brought over some fresh tomatoes from their garden! And the yummy snacks that greeted us in the kitchen when we arrived were such a nice touch. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at the Oak Tree Cottage. The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The pool is great and we loved spending time in the sunroom. We had such a relaxing time, we hope to return. Karen and Dave are excellent hosts. We highly recommend Oak Tree Cottage.
Great stay at the property. Very private and close to towns/wineries. Dave/Karen were available to help with anything.
Beautiful views from the farm. A peaceful setting. Easy access to local attractions, including Monticello, Shenandoah, and a wide choice of vineyards and breweries. The pool is lovely. The hosts are wonderful. They are friendly and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome.
Oak Tree Cottage is the perfect place to gather especially if you love being surrounded by nature. The property is very well maintained and the hosts are welcoming. The cottage is super comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. Our family loved the room with all of the windows! While there we attended a family wedding at Pippin Hill, spent a day in Charlottesville, and took a ride on Skyline Drive. After those busy days it was so nice to have such a clean and comfortable place to return to!
Oak Tree Cottage was even lovelier than expected. Immaculately clean, comfortable beds, beautiful views. The pool is only steps from the house, and we enjoyed floating in the water and identifying all the birds and butterflies we saw against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Karen had some excellent suggestions for local hikes and places to eat. Overall, a great week in a great space!
Our group thoroughly enjoyed this gem! The home is exceptionally clean and well organized. The pool was sparkling against the beautiful backdrop of the mountains. The owners clearly treasure this property and add little extras to enhance their guests’ experience. We hope to return next year.
Our family loves this home, this is our second time and we are already planning to book again next summer! There are rooms for everyone so the grandparents, parents and kids get to spend a week all together, this location feels like a peaceful oasis. You have a beautiful view of the mountains and woods and we always enjoy spotting all the critters and birds around. Having a private pool for a week is so fun, the kids can play as much as they want, and the adults can relax under the umbrellas. Karen and Dave have stocked this house so well with everything you have at home so it's so easy to relax. No late night runs to the grocery store to get something we forgot. And they are so responsive to any issues, like bringing a new propane tank for the grill. This is truly a home away from home and the kids are already asking when we can come back to Oak Tree Cottage.
We had the best time. The property owners were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and make sure that we had everything we needed. There was a storm and when we called Karen to let her know that a tree limb had basically rolled down the side of the house she was very quick to ask if we were ok and to say that if the storm got worse we were all more than welcome to stay with her and her husband until it passed. Keep in mind that there were 6 of us. One of which was a 5 year old. As soon as I got off the phone with her, her husband was at our door checking on us. We would absolutely stay at this property again.
We had an amazing time at the Oak Tree Cottage. Karen and Dave were helpful every step of the way from booking through check-in to check out. Their estate is gorgeous and the cottage has everything you need to have a relaxing weekend. We had 6 adults and one child and slept very comfortably. The common areas were great and the pool was very nice. The new Weber grill topped it off. We'll be back!
The farmhouse was very conveniently located to all our planned activities. The house had nice outdoor spaces that featured lovely views. The farmhouse was very clean and had a well-appointed kitchen. We were greeted with complimentary snacks and a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. There were fresh flowers on the kitchen island. The bathrooms were clean and had plenty of thirsty towels. The bedrooms were large and clean with comfortable beds. Unfortunately, we could not get the upstairs area air conditioners to work even though we followed the directions and did an internet search to troubleshoot. When the owner came to greet us, he said he needed a tutorial for the new units.
My family of 5 (youngest 11 years old) and my mother and auntie booked Dave & Karen's cottage for a 3-night spring break getaway in the country. We hoped for peaceful and we got it. The huge picture windows in the back room overlooking the woods was a big draw for us. With 7 people the dining table seated us with room to spare, The bedrooms are large, beds comfortable. The kitchen is large and well-stocked. We cooked dinner every night and easily found what we needed. We grilled hamburgers one night--nice gas grill. Beautiful deck! The living room is a good size, with comfortable couch and two easy chairs. We brought our own Roku with HDMI cable to hook up to the tv so we could have the channels we subscribe to. The grounds are great--Virginia bluebells were just starting to bloom in the front yard. Lots of other flowers promising to bloom later in the spring (we were there early April). The owner's pretty home is visible from outside the home, but not noticeable from inside. We walked on a path/old road behind the house. The owner told us we could have also walked on past his house to paths on that side that lead to sinkhole ponds where rare native plants are being conserved by a local organization (you can read about it in an article in the binder the owner provides about the house). Dave is super nice--chatted with him right before leaving. He & Karen left special treats for us in the kitchen before we arrived, and put out a sweet vase of daffodils too. We visited nearby Crabtree Falls, a not-too-strenuous hike up the side of a mountain with one of the tallest waterfalls this side of the Mississippi--each lookout a different view. My relatively in-shape 81-year-old mother made it up to the 3rd lookout (my favorite). We also enjoyed Grand Caverns, a tour of the oldest show caverns in the US. They have the only shield formations found in caves: large discs with flowstone draped over them. Nearby Staunton is also great to visit: Trinity Church with its Tiffany studios stained glass windows, yummy places to eat, and fun shops (most of which we found out are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays--not the church, though, and we still enjoyed a bookstore & the green room restaurant). Sweet Scoops is locally made ice cream in Stuart's Draft--that's where you'll also find a Food Lion and a quirky local market, Stuart's Draft Farm Market. If you're coming from Northern VA, stop on the way in historic Harrisonburg & Edith Carrier Arboretum for lovely trails.
We enjoyed our stay so much we are already considering a longer stay sometime in the future. The Cottage had everything we needed! Beds were comfortable! The surrounding farm has wonderful views. There were nine of us in all….ranging in age from 16-55. Not once did we feel cramped! The way the bedrooms are set up worked perfectly for our two families. The hosts answered questions quickly and were very helpful before and during our stay. Thank you!
