About this property

Originally built in the 1920's and newly renovated in 2018/2019, Acorn cottage is a charming single level, two bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage in the small village of Bacova, Virginia. Each bedroom has a bathroom attached. Centrally located in Bath County, it is minutes away from Lake Moomaw, Warm Springs, Hot Springs and the historic Omni Homestead Resort. The cottage is 8 miles, (about 12 minutes) from the Homestead Resort. A great home base for anyone looking to get away and explore Bath county's beautiful hiking trails and fishing holes.

****At the recommendation of our County Health department, due to COVID we have added the following procedures for staying at Acorn Cottage.

To protect our guests, housekeeper and ourselves, we are leaving a 2 day gap between each guests stay.

The cottage is deep cleaned between each reservation, which includes sanitizing all doorknobs, light switches, telephones and remotes. We also run a whole house circulating fan between each guests stay.

During, and at the end of their stay, we ask all guests to seal and put their trash to the garbage bins located in the garage at the cottage. (Tom or I will stop by the garage every three days or so and take the trash to the transfer station.)

Guest should run all their dishes through the dish washer.

The small washer and dryer in the cottage are for guest's convenience, (we have a commercial washer and dryer we use for all the cottage linens.) At checkout, guests should place all used linens (towels, bathmats etc.) in the cloth laundry bags provided and leave the bags in the back hall of the cottage for pick up. We will take care of stripping the beds, and wash all sheets and blankets.

Thanks!

Beautiful retreat!

What a fantastically appointed cottage in serene Bath County! We came for a long weekend and were not disappointed. The house was thoughtfully curated and it’s clear that Dana and Tom are people who appreciate the details. We loved our time here, feeling cozy as we read, played games, and took shelter from some truly wide ranging spring mountain weather (hail, snow, rain and sun!). The location was perfect for jaunt over to the warm springs pools as well as lots of hiking. We highly recommend it!

Absolutely lovely

My spouse and our two friends wanted to celebrate a shared birthday and picked this lovely home as our stay. The owners spared no expense in making this place as cozy as possible, all of the furniture was spotless and comfortable. The check in process was very simple and the checkout was the same way. Everything worked flawlessly and the appliances are shiny and new. It’s as if the owners thought of everything you might need and included it in the property. We will definitely be staying here again.

Warm Springs Trip

We spent time with our daughter visiting the Warm Spring Pools and exploring the surrounding area. The Acorn Cottage was perfect for the three of us. It’s location is close to Hot Springs and other sites. The cottage is very cute with plenty of room in a quiet area. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.

relaxing experience

The cottage was up-to-date and modern but still woodsy and charming. Very convenient to Warm Springs and Hot Springs. We hope to stay there again next year.

Why they chose this property

Acorn Cottage is a 1920's cottage which we completely renovated in 2018/2019. We tried to retain as much of the original charm of the cottage as we could while at the same time the modernizing the heating, air conditioning, appliances and accessibility. The cottage has a central heat and air conditioning, tankless water heater, high efficiency furnace with MERV allergy filter and a back up propane stove. All doorways were widened and the bathrooms are somewhat over sized to accommodate guest who may have issues with mobility.
