Cottage, Pool, 300 Acres of Blue Ridge Mountains.
About this cottage rental
This is a luxurious cottage with pool about1.5 hour drive from Charlottesville on 300 acres of woods, hills, and fields in Bath County, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect for a romantic weekend or family getaway, or teleworking. The cottage consists of a huge window-filled kitchen/dining/living area, and a bedroom. The hardwood floors are spectacular rustic oak. The kitchen area has the latest appliances and red granite countertops. The living area has a gas fireplace with HDTV and DirectTV, a queen-sized sofa bed, and two twin folding memory foam mattresses. Internet is high bandwidth fiber optic. The bedroom has a fireplace, big-screen TV and king-size bed with memory foam mattress. The cottage sits alone in its own valley, and has spectacular hills, meadows, and woods. It features soaring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with over a mile of border with the beautiful George Washington National Forest. Privacy and intimacy go along with the gorgeous landscape. You will be the only people on the property. From the entire farm, no other houses are visible, despite the stunning views of 20 miles or more. Deer, coyotes, a few bears, and eagles make their home on the farm. Recreational Equipment: The fishing pond (stocked with catfish, bass and perch) has a paddle boat. Fishing rods available. There is a golf cart and mountain bikes. There are kayaks for use on the nearby Cow Pasture River, plus car racks. There are 2 electric bikes. There's a pool right outside your door, via a bridge from the deck to a jumping platform. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. To give you an idea of how large 300 acres is, it would take you about an hour to walk to the back of the farm. We gladly accept pets. The farm has always had pets, and they love it there. The bathroom has marble floors, ceramic tiles, and a jetted tub with a view of the wilderness. The two-sided deck allows you to sip your morning coffee while looking out over the valley, watching the mist roll through. Sleeping accommodations consist of a king-sized bed in the bedroom, a queen-sized sofa-bed, and two Twin XL 6" thick folding memory foam mattresses, which you can combine to make a king sized bed. We also have a 220V charging cord and adapter for your Tesla. Wander the farm to your heart's delight. Swim to your hearts content. Fish in the pond. Check out a nearby river swimming hole right out of Tom Sawyer. Careen about on the mountain bikes, electric bikes, or the golf cart. Go kayaking! Keywords: Vacation Cottage

The owner was very responsive to all of our questions and gave us some good suggestions for our Anniversary Weekend getaway. The house was lovely, clean and a perfect place for us to have a weekend away! We are already looking at booking a stay again next year!

This is our third time staying at the property and we just absolutely love it! Jim is always so friendly and accommodating, the property has so many fun activities and is perfect for our dog! Can't wait to visit again

A wonderful space. A comfortable and well equipped house on an amazing parcel of land. Lots of hiking, which my dog and I enjoyed. If you aren't up for the more vigorous hills, there is a golf cart and ebikes. While the property might seem remote, Warm Springs is about 20 miles/30 minutes away-- I enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Grist Mill Inn. Overall, a great place. I definitely plan to return.

The property was exactly as described. The cottage was immaculately clean, private, and quiet. It was an ideal getaway. I enjoyed the excellent big pool, the golf cart, the remote feeling, and all of the house amenities. The location on the old farm was amazing, and I am looking forward to returning!
5.0
We have visited this property multiple times (and we've already booked for next year!) because the setting is so peaceful and serene. We enjoy not hearing the city noises and seeing the stars at night. We saw plenty of deer and even a few fireflies. They really put on a show at night. The best time to see them is in late June. Our favorite activities are swimming and relaxing by the pool with a good book and good music. We also like taking the golf cart up on top of the hill and enjoying our breakfast as we take in the view. If you like cider, Troddenvale in Warm Springs is very good. The grounds are beautiful. We also recommend Bacova Brewing in Hot Springs. Good beer and good food.

Been visiting the cottage for years and always look forward to returning! This place is incredibly special for more reasons than I could begin to list. Thank you Jim and Essie for all that you do, we could not ask for more!

Everything was perfect. So peaceful and remote. You can hop on a golf cart and just drive and drive up the mountain, with nobody in sight but wildlife.
The dog run was great for our two fur babies.
Fishing pond was stocked and very relaxing.
And oh how we loved the pool! My 9 year old really enjoyed jumping off the high deck and we enjoyed listening to our music through speakers while floating.
The cabin has everything you need.
If you have a little fishing enthusiast, go check out the nearby trout nursery. Very interesting.

Arriving to the cottage,at first glance, so beautiful! That never changes, and keeps getting better! We only stayed 5 nights, departure day, i probably could have cried. Serenity, peace, lots of wild life, deer sightings daily,and a small black bear the first day while on the golf cart on our way to the fishing pond. Out of about 10 vrbo rentals, this one is hands down my favorite! So awesome i booked immediately upon return home for next year! Ellens cottage has so many fun things to do, no way possible to get bored! We cannot wait to return next summer!!!

This was our third stay at the cottage. We had a wonderful time as usual.

The tiny cottage is just that: tiny. It's beautifully redone inside, but don't pack anything because every cabinet and cupboard are full. Granted, all the camping gear and so forth are useful, but I couldn't even find a place to hang up my clothes.
Since you have to bring in all groceries--the nearest store is 30 min away--having no pantry or cabinet space was a problem.
A number of the outdoor lights were inoperable which almost resulted in myself and my dogs being bitten by a rattlesnake (twice!), and when I booked the vacation in 2022 it was still listing a heated pool--not the case. With temps in the low 40's at night, the pool was an Arctic glacier in June. The nearby pond was warmer.
Also lacking was any sort of lounge chair that folded flat so one could at least relax in the sun. I used my otherwise useless raft.
It's scenic and beautiful and would make a lovely equestrian property, but definitely bring your hiking boots if you want to trek up the 45 degree incline to the property's paths.
Zero cell service, and I even tried through wi-fi. Although this is listed in the property description, it did make an emergency situation an absolute nightmare.
It's quaint, it's beautiful, it's primarily peaceful, but it just wasn't at all what I hoped.

My boyfriend and I brought our two pups to have a quiet getaway and relax for a few days. The pups loved that they could roam free on the property and do lots of exploring. The golf cart was perfect to go explore all the available land. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed the awesome views. Everything we needed to make breakfast, lunch and dinner was there at the cottage. Would definitely stay again!

Just a couple friends and their pups whom needed a short vacation from their busy responder lifestyles. This place was absolutely beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. Our pups absolutely enjoyed the free reign to explore and we have memories to cherish forever.
There is wildlife in the wee hours of the night so be sure to monitor the pups closely. However, that’s what sets this place apart. To be one with nature.
We will be back.
Thank you for allowing us to let go of reality for a few days!

We had an amazing time! Excellent communication from the host. Well stocked kitchen (we especially appreciate all the coffee makers, heated cups, and Tupperware). Wi-Fi was fast and strong enough to work from the cottage. The property is incredibly beautiful, completely private. Our dogs had the best time running free for miles and miles. A perfect quiet and peaceful getaway from the city. Hope to come back soon :)

If your are looking to have some peace and quiet, this is the place to be. With so many things to do on the property, there is no reason to leave. The dogs had great fun running around and were so tired at the end of the day. We will return.

My favorite place to stay. Everything is five star first class. Quiet and relaxing and the scenery is beautiful and the cottage is outstanding. The host Mr Rice super. I have another booking for both April and May and planning another trip in November. You folks at VBRO are outstanding. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Rented for a getaway weekend and we had a wonderful visit! We were attracted by this property because pets are welcome, and our two larger dogs love to travel with us where we can. Some highlights:
- The property is beautiful and has lots of wide open spaces. My wife really enjoyed taking pictures of the landscape and wildlife, and the dogs ran with us behind the golf cart all the way to the back of the property. VERY remote and isolated which we loved.
- The cottage itself is small but very comfy/cozy. We really enjoyed the fireplace and TV with lots of streaming options each evening. Kitchen was well stocked, and we cooked all our meals there without issue.
- We also enjoyed stargazing at night - there is almost zero light pollution on the horizon, so perfect conditions for astrophotography and stargazing.
Thanks, and we'll be back again!

Wow! Where do we start? We booked this property as a last minute getaway for our son that was turning 15. We had so much fun we didn’t want to leave. From riding the golf cart through the trails, to riding the electric bikes, catching bass and perch in the pond, taking the kayaks out on the water, swimming in the pool while listening to music and grilling dinner. My son said it was the best birthday ever! As for the cottage itself, it was amazing! The bed was so comfortable it was hard to get out of bed in the morning. The water pressure in the shower was incredible. The only complaint we have is that one of the knives was caked with what looked like chopped broccoli and whoever used it last just placed it back in the knife block. I forgot to mention it to the owner so please don’t think that was our family that did that. The only recommendation we have is maybe adding a place to put our trash outside. A trash bin? We’d love to see a hot tub added too so we can enjoy coming during the cooler months. Overall, we will definitely return and recommend it to other families!

I've reviewed previously and all of my impressions still stand. Just a fantastic gorgeous place to unplug, with very responsive host. Bath County is stunning and you will enjoy the range of views and settings at this property. Perfect place to unplug. Extremely private and quiet. Pool is lovely. Gorgeous setting. Ideal for two adults, or perhaps a couple with small children. Have already reserved again for next year.

Right after staying at this cottage last year, my family immediately booked another visit for this summer! We love staying here and escaping everything! We spent hours in the pool and just wandering around the property. Definitely going to book again for next summer!

Beautiful, Quiet, Perfect Retreat
This is our third stay here, and we LOVE it. It hasn't changed a bit since our last stay 8 years ago.
We love the privacy, the views, the FANTASTIC pool. It's still bliss. Thank you!

Great private cabin with tons to do
The owners did a great job curating a ton of experiences for us to enjoy - fully stocked inside and out from home items to recreational vehicles. Beautiful views and large farm. The pool was perfect and very private. We also enjoyed movie nights on the large big screen TVs. We only had a couple small issues, that you would expect in an older cabin, and the owners were amazing to address them and respond almost immediately to our questions.
