"Travel expands the mind and fills the gap." – Sheda Savage The property is easily accessible by car and contains two parking spaces. Ask us about private winery tour options through local car companies! If you’re looking to accommodate a larger property, we have five other listings nearby Note on Country Living & Pest Control Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where you’ll enjoy fresh air, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings. With this setting comes the reality of nature—including the occasional visit from local insects. We are proactive about pest control and maintain a quarterly professional spray plan, with several additional treatments scheduled throughout the year at every property. While this greatly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during certain seasons. Thank you for understanding that a few sightings are a natural part of staying in a rural area—and part of the charm of being surrounded by nature! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,152 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90240000/90233000/90232989/w2881h1923x0y0-c1a362b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fox Hill: 151 Cottage w/Hot Tub + Mountain Views Afton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 13 reviews CA $320 CA $715 total includes taxes & fees Dec 11 - Dec 12 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=90232989&PinnedHotelID=90232989&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97560000/97551500/97551498/2ccc0b10.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Afton Cottage w/ Hot Tub, Firepit, Mountain Views Afton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $191 CA $446 total includes taxes & fees Dec 4 - Dec 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=97551498&PinnedHotelID=97551498&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101140000/101131600/101131533/2ac8cb0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Getaway | Near Veritas & Blue Ridge Tunnel | Modern Comforts Afton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=101131533&PinnedHotelID=101131533&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111820000/111816400/111816333/3f9e513c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aftonshire Cottage - Heart of Afton's Wine Region Afton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=111816333&PinnedHotelID=111816333&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109890000/109882300/109882240/2c074163.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sycamore Shade: 151 House, HOT TUB, Mountain Views Afton - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=109882240&PinnedHotelID=109882240&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100290000/100287000/100286967/87a9577d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Cottage @ Afton Mountain- Close to Wineries!
