About this property

Quaint Cottage Located 15 Miles From Blacksburg VA

The cottage has spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, original plaster walls & a kitchen island made from early 1900 2ft wide boards. Both sofas fold out into beds for extra accommodations. It sits near the New River and the Norfolk & Western railway and, as such, the train occasionally passes by, please be aware of the potential for train noise.

The cottage is not suitable for large groups or parties.

There is a stove with oven, a microwave and toaster, a refrigerator, cookware, plates, cups, glassware and silverware.

All bedding and towels are provided.

We have Smart TV hook up with a Netflix account just for the house, locally made soap and locally roasted coffee. We provide ear plugs for guests who prefer not to hear the train.

The cottage is located next to The Palisades Restaurant in an old resort village which was once a thriving destination and a stop on the N & W Railroad. A destination once again, the village is coming back to life with an award winning restaurant, artisan shop and now lodging.

As an added service, we guarantee dinner reservations at The Palisades Restaurant for guests. Please request reservations for the day, time and number of guests at the time of booking.

No public transportation exists.

Fun for a weekend in Blacksburg
It's an older home so the floors were a bit uneven, but all the furnishings were very nice, loved the walk-in showers. I did need to use the complimentary earplugs because it's directly beside the railroad track and there are frequent trains, including at night, but with those in I slept great, comfy beds. The road into Eggleston and the driveway to the cottage are fairly steep and winding, I was glad I had AWD. Highly recommend walking over to the Pallisades for dinner, it was SO GOOD. Wi-fi and Netflix worked great too, overall a very nice stay!

Country Gem
Wonderful home in a beautiful and out of the way location with easy access to Blacksburg and VT! All the modern amenities in a charming, older home in a country setting with an interesting historical story. We enjoyed the thoughtful touches like the coffee from the award winning restaurant next door and the toilet paper with humourous wrappers. There was comfortable bedding and tons of fluffy towels. Despite it's somewhat remote location there was good WiFi and streaming and cable. We could even see our local news from our home city in Texas. The area surrounding the home is worth some adventure driving, just drive and enjoy amazing vistas and stunning tunnels made from the trees! We will be back! Perfect to escape the craziness in Blacksburg during the times like VT move in/out, football games, parents weekend, etc., but close enough to go back and forth throughout the day, if needed. The only thing that might be an issue, for some but not us, was the train that passes by. We LOVED sitting on the porch and having it go by. The owners thoughtfully left earplugs at the bedside in case the train was bothersome, but we didn't need them. Oh! We like to sleep with the TV on so we appreciated not just having one in the TV room, but in both bedrooms. Not important to some, but great for us! I say book this place, but leave some dates for us!!!

Great stay next to the best restaurant!
This was definitely a fun stay in a cool old house! The Palisades restaurant next door was outstanding. This Florida girl had a rough time with the curvy roads going up the mountain, but well worth it. We loved watching the trains go by and I slept through the night without a problem!

About the host

Hosted by Shaena Muldoon

Host profile image
Shaena grew up in Pembroke, Virginia just two miles from the site of the cottage. She remembers visiting Pyne's General Store, which was located right next to the cottage, as a little girl with her family. In 2009, she turned the building into The Palisades Restaurant. She has been in the restaurant and event businesses for over 20 years. Her extensive experience includes producing high-profile worldwide events such as the award-winning 2004 International VSA Arts Festival in Washington, D.C., the 2002 U.S. Olympic Torch Relay and the 1998 World Exposition in Lisbon, Portugal.

After traveling to all of the seven continents, including Antarctica, Shaena has returned to Giles County which she considers one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Why they chose this property

Mr. Hunter's Cottage is located in Giles County – one of the most scenic areas in Virginia. Before dining at the Palisades restaurant right next door, you can work up an appetite by hiking to the Cascades, a natural waterfall. Or grab a paddle and canoe down the New River – the worlds second oldest waterway. Or visit Giles’ three historic covered bridges – the most of any county in the state. Giles County offers numerous recreational activities so there's more than just one reason you’ll want to come to visit.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the rumble of passing trains as the cottage is located 50 feet from the tracks in the bucolic mountains of southwest Virginia.
