About this property

Charming cozy RIVERFRONT cottage on the Piney River. A little slice of heaven!

The Chestnut House

The perfect place for you and your family to rest, unplug, enjoy novice trout fishing, and stargaze under the clean country sky.

Welcome to the Chestnut House. This recently renovated riverfront home is a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1926 as a log cabin made of real chestnut, it has since been used as a US Post office, country market, and later a house in 1936. The home is nestled between the Cardinal and Little Priest mountains in the Blue Ridge Range and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.

The main attraction of the Chestnut House is the outdoors. Just a step away from the back door is the Piney River. Enjoy the sounds of this rushing river from the beautiful sundeck furnished with Adirondak chairs, or the picnic tables, rock fire-pit, or hammock. This two-story cottage offers scenic river and mountain views, a wood stove, chef’s kitchen, and sleeping accommodations for up to six guests. Open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the rushing Piney River and nature throughout the house.

A fun fact about the home: Growing on the side of the home facing the river is a very old, almost extinct, American Chestnut Tree. This is why we call it the “Chestnut House”.

Lastly, don’t forget your fishing rods! Native brook trout and wild brown trout populate the river.

Why they chose this property

Peaceful, quiet, remote.

What makes this property unique

We purchased the home in 2022 after falling in love with its bones, history, and scenic Piney River views. It was built in 1926. Over the years it served many purposes but had since been abandoned and was in need of a lot of TLC. After one year of renovating, it ourselves, we are excited to invite guests to enjoy the beauty it offers.

The river you hear below is called the Piney River and flows for several miles....
Nestled at the base of the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest this home is a peaceful escape and the perfect place to take a break from the city.
