Lovely cottage

The Ash Cottage is exactly as it was pictured and described. It was a fair price and perfect for 2 couples, close to wineries and other things to do. Would definitely recommend this place!

Lovely Weekend Getaway

The pictures do not do this place justice. Its a lot nicer than they lead on! Perfectly located near the VA wine and beer trail. Surrounded by trees. We'll be back when its warmer to emjoy the outdoor spaces the property offers.

The description noted an EV charger but there is not one. The host refunded me for the mistake. The property is remote from the ski resort.

The location was great for visiting the nearby wineries. The only complaint I have is about the television. Since we are non-streaming television viewers, the selection of what we could watch was extremely limited. We would prefer to be able to watch local news and sports.
