About this property

Inviting Wine Cottage hosted by Heather

Clean with plenty of mid-century charm, The Wine Cottage is just a short drive from many of northern Nelson County's most popular destinations, including dozens of wineries and breweries and the Afton Mountain Tunnel. Enjoy the beautiful mountain views and private back yard fire pit!

If you’re looking to accommodate a larger property, we have four other listings on this street.


You'll be interacting via TEXT directly with the owners, but not in person unless needed.
The neighborhood is quiet and rural. 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 three keypad entry doors to the property.
We named this property “THE Wine Cottage” since this was our First Nelson County vacation rental. We love this lot - the adjacent rock vein, distant mountain views in the front yard, the private, wooded back yard - and we love the timeless 1950’s original details.

Just a few details you will want to know. We have carefully outfitted this house to accommodate a large group, with several separate seating areas. The downstairs gaming area is perfect for playing on the nintendo or foosball table. The laundry room contains a high capacity washer and dryer that can be easily closed off from all the activity of the household. Also included are three smart TV’s, board games, ceiling fans, Keurig and regular coffee makers, stainless steel appliances, cooking basics, and modern farmhouse decor. Complimentary wifi, toiletries, hairdryer, ironing board, and central heating and air conditioning.

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”


The property is easily accessible by car and contains five parking spaces.

Ask us about private winery tour options through local car companies!

Perfect location
We came for my daughter’s wedding at King Family Vineyards. It was a perfect spot to get everywhere we wanted to visit easily. The house is beautifully decorated and we had a ton of natural light for hair and makeup before going to the venue. I would love to return and spend more time visiting wineries and breweries. The area is gorgeous!

The house was well stocked with necessities. The ladies loved the decorations and the house in general. The leaky ceiling in the kitchen was a little inconvenience but not a real problem. Would love to return if we have a large group coming with us to the area. The host was very helpful and responsive

We are Heather and Scott Koehler, and although we are both from Ohio, we have called central Virginia home for over 20 years. We have five kids, and we love creating properties for people who want to create lasting memories with their friends and family!

Why they chose this property

We love this area because it's so close to everything we love in Nelson County!

What makes this property unique

We love the back yard privacy in the woods, but maybe the rock vein is our favorite. Climb to the top for the best views!
