Loads of new upgrades and designer touches including centralized heat and air conditioning , tile flooring, and a new outdoor covered dining area in the historic barn make staying at this country cottage an even more wonderful experience.

On the property: explore the 20 acres filled with unspoiled nature. Watch wildlife from the front porch or back deck, pull a game from the historic 1820's chestnut barn built by the Mabry Family, the original settlers of the area.

Relax by reading a book from one of the four libraries, (one is just for kids and one is just for cooks!). Take a walk through the forest down to the creek, soak in the hot tub, have a family BBQ, reconnect over a board game, watch DVDs from the large collection, play a game of corn hole, volleyball, badminton, soccer, or cook a gourmet meal in the stocked kitchen with European fridge and dishwasher and 5 burner range with griddle and convection oven.

Mabry Creek Cottage is in the only part of Virginia with NO light pollution, so the stargazing is AMAZING!

This is a place to unplug and breathe.

Up to 10 guests can very comfortably stay in the cottage.

Thanksgiving Trip
The property was immaculate. The living and sleeping areas were spacious. The decorating and vibe of the house is beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare delicious meals. The surroundings were beautiful. The hot tub was great. The barn and games were fun. If I could give this property more than 5 stars, I would.

The Cutest Cottage!
We absoluately loved staying at this cottage! On the outside, we weren't sure if we'd fit (we had 7) but we did and were very comfortable! The layout is perfect and we never felt on top of each other and we had our space. It is pretty far out there and there is not much around, so definitely keep that in mind. But it was so nice a quiet and relaxing! We had a power outage when we got there, which was fine and we just grabbed dinner in town. Greg was great and staying in touch and told us when it was back on! Communication is top key and ya'll definietly have a wondeful space! 10/10 would recommend again!

With a focus on design, hospitality, and attention to detail, they have come together to create a magical and enchanting experience for their guests that delights the senses.

Why they chose this property

The property itself is magical, right as you begin pulling into the driveway which is surrounded by trees. There are so many areas to explore on the 20+ acres. A hike down to the creek, a game of billiards in the historic barn, a gathering around the fire pit, on the porch, deck, or patio, board games at the dining room table, movie night on the comfy designer sectional, a soak in the hot tub- all wonderful spots to enjoy bonding time with family, friends, and even co-workers. The house is so charming with lots of places for privacy or for spending time with family. There are handmade pieces and details all around the house and eco-friendly furnishings abound. Two of the bedrooms have vegan, organic mattresses. All beds are super comfy. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, big or small. The pantry has tons of supplies and a secret door to the hidden bedroom!

What makes this property unique

We care about people. We want everyone who stays with us to feel nurtured and welcome, just like they are part of our family. We hope you enjoy this fantastic place just as much as we do!
