About this property

Acorn Cottage Village of Bacova in Bath County, VA

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. The Warm Springs pools (great for soaking in) are abut 5-7 minutes away (reservations required). A great home base for anyone looking to get away and explore Bath county's beautiful hiking trails and fishing holes.

Although not fully ADA compliant, we consider this cottage to be "handicapped friendly" in that we have a wheelchair ramp up to the front door; and all doors (both internal and external) are 36 inches wide.

To allow time for proper cleaning, 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 washing all sheets and blankets.

Thanks!

Dana and Tom

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.

Beautiful Cottage in Bacova

The Acorn Cottage is perfect for a family getaway in Bath County! The house is beautifully decorated, fully equipped with top notch appliances, and the house is stocked with everything you and your guests may need. Two extremely comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, and even a nice pull-out couch. We plan to return to this wonderful cottage again. The owners are very accommodating and responsive with any questions.

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.

Absolutely relaxing and gorgeous cottage

I booked the cottage for my sister's getaway weekend to celebrate her birthday with another friend. We spent three nights and enjoyed every minute of it! We use the kitchen to cook meals and enjoyed the front porch as well. The location is absolutely gorgeous. The cottage is immaculate! Great features all around and I would definitely come back!! I really like the extra touches like the plush towels, the nice linens, and the extensive notes provided by the host about places to hike. The little things! And the big things!

We had a great stay here and it was perfect location for our tournament we were playing in at the Homestead. It was very well laid out and accommodating. One suggestion and I have made this a couple of places. Not everyone is familiar with smart TV's so having clear instructions for us older folks would be most helpful. Also the second bath is very deep so care needs to be taken there. Otherwise we were very happy and would definitely consider staying again and I would highly recommend it. One other very nice addition was the local news paper of things happening in the area. We definitely utilized the information there.

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.
