Surrounded by many acres of forestland and natural beauty, privacy is not an issue. You will likely see bald eagles soaring over the lake as they frequently choose trees on the property to nest in every year! Yet, you are still just a short drive away from the picturesque and historic town of Pulaski, Virginia, as well as close to many other hubs of activity like Radford, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and Roanoke. A Virginia Tech football game is less than an hour's drive away! Offering wonderful opportunities for dining and shopping, as well as the performing arts, including the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, you are never far away from whatever you may wish to experience on your getaway.

The Avonlea Cottage is perfect for your next family reunion, getaway, church group vacation, or simply as a romantic and luxurious accommodation for your honeymoon or anniversary!
