Cottage

It was quiet, serene, scenery was beautiful. Those four days were not enough. We especially enjoyed the screen in porch. We would consider renting the cottage again, it is a gem, tucked in the forest.

From the moment you arrive on the well treed property you feel like you’re in a little bit of paradise. The back of the property leads down to the river flowing by and the sound of the water rushing over the rocks gives a very pleasant place to relax next to the fire pit. The well appointed bungalow is wonderfully appointed with a fishing and outdoor theme and it’s so comfortable and inviting. Makes you just want to move in. Lori and Todd we’re so easy to contact by phone or text just to give a heads up of our arrival and departure. Everything could not have gone smoother or better. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore than to say I would gladly go back there every weekend! Dr. Rick

Beautiful place to relax!

My husband and I wanted to get away to relax. Lori and Todd went above and beyond...gave us so much info on places to go. Had several storms and river was high, but Todd gave my husband a lot of info on fishing spots nearby. House is perfect and the large screened porch was perfect! We would highly recommend and plan to visit again!

The River House

Beautiful property and perfect little house with large and very comfortable screened in porch for taking in the river view if you’re not sitting around the fire pit. Convenient location to whatever your wanting to do. The host provides five star service.

About the host

Hosted by Lori & Todd

Living and enjoying the taste of the local life here in Nelson County, Virginia near Wintergreen Mountain , we decided to share our small getaway with others!

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect place to unwind and listen to the waters of the Buffalo River wash over boulders as you warm yourself with that first cup of coffee in the morning or finish a great day of adventure with the perfect night cap! The view and solitude will not disappoint you during your visit to this quaint cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

What makes this property unique

We are only minutes from many major attractions in and around Nelson County and Amherst County, Virginia! If you are looking for that perfect "base camp" for your adventure or if you simply want to "sit in a lawn chair toes in the sand without a worry in the world and a cold drink in your hand".......look no further!
