About this property
Charming Mountain Escape | Hot Tub & Scenic Views
Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge, Cheval Circle offers a peaceful escape with mountain views and easy access to wineries, hiking, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Relax by the firepit, soak in the hot tub, or gather around the spacious kitchen after a day of exploring. This well-appointed home is ideal for couples, families, or friends seeking comfort and quiet in Virginia’s wine and mountain country—just minutes from Afton’s best trails and tasting rooms.
You'll be interacting via TEXT directly with the owners, but not in person unless needed.
The neighborhood is quiet and across from a local horse farm. 0.9 miles to Veritas, and ELEVEN wineries/breweries/distilleries within 5 miles! 15 mins to Humpback Rocks and Jack Albright Loop (plane crash site!). 1.5 miles to Afton Tunnel!
There are two keypad entry doors to the property.
Welcome to Cheval Circle—a charming getaway nestled in the heart of Afton, VA. The name "Cheval" comes from the French word for horse, inspired by Mimi’s beautiful nearby horses and the home where Scott’s family grew up. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking mountain views from the front porch—a perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
For an unforgettable experience, check out our complimentary online guidebook, which includes details on how to book a horseback riding adventure!
