Writers Cottage is charming as well as the owners. I stayed for Christmas and they even left presents under a tree for me and my pet. That was such a peasant surprise.
Middleburg is a beautiful town.

My wife and I stayed at this adorable historic property and really loved the location, town, and property. This is a very historic home with lots of old world charm. Don't rent this house if your looking for the latest amenities and renovations. Stay at this property if your looking for a home that embraces the rich history and character of Middleburg!

The pictures show the cottage off well. It is very comfortable and wonderfully decorated. The location is right off Main St so we walked and didn’t have parking issues. Lots of parking behind the house. Love this place and will be back!

This Middleburg Writers Cottage is located just off main street on the edge of town. It's just a short walk to shops & restaurants. The cottage is quaint (beams, beautiful wood floors, etc.), bright (lots of windows), comfortable, nicely decorated, and includes guest amenities (coffee, shampoo, conditioner, etc.). We appreciated the easy checkin and strong WiFi. Our dog appreciated the big, fenced yard. Michael is quick to respond to messages and provides helpful information. We definitely recommend staying here.

My wife and I wanted to do a quick getaway from DC immediately after our wedding instead of flying somewhere. This was the perfect place for our mini-moon. The house is exactly as described and exactly what we were looking for. You can easily walk the entire town and it's an easy 20 minute walk to Salamander resort for a spa day. We didn't use our car once in 3 days. Michael was great with communication and even left a bottle of wine for us (and treats for our dog). Couldn't have asked for a better reset after our wedding and we are already looking to do another trip here. Thanks for everything, Michael!

I had a wonderful stay at Michael's cottage in the heart of Middleburg. The property was much larger than expected and was pristine. Communication with Michael was excellent making for a seamless check in process. The bed was comfortable and the master bath is gigantic! The best thing about the cute cottage, however, is its location. It is a short walk to the shops and restaurants of downtown Middleburg. I can't wait to return next year!

This is a wonderful cottage, combining the best of the old and the new - and a perfect location in Middleburg. Our host Michael was wonderful - accommodating, informative, but not intrusive.

Magical Middleburg
We were six miles away from the property when the landscape turned to rolling hills, stone walls, vineyard after vineyard, antique stores and historic homes. The house itself is charming and full of character and the town is precious. Mattress was sublime, water pressure in the shower was fantastic and the place was clean and well stocked. Michael (our host) could not have been more considerate or responsive. Here for a family event but looking forward to a return visit to explore even more. Don’t miss Middleburg Common Grounds for coffee, breakfast or lunch!

Outstanding visit
Michael is a terrific host, informative and communicative. The cottage itself is lovely and right on the main street of Middleburg. All of the shops, restaurants and tavern were a short walk. The yard was surprisingly large and both fenced and gated, with gated off-street parking. Overall a terrific stay and a great property.
