About this cottage rental

Remotely nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, you will find this charming lake cottage. Enjoy days and evenings above a picturesque six acre lake with backdrop of a beautiful mountain range. Spend time fishing, paddle boating, blazing a trail into the woods, or relaxing with a good book. Take the time to unwind and get away from it all.

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, two bedroom/one and a half bath cottage. The main/master bedroom has a queen sized bed, while the second bedroom upstairs is furnished with 2 twin beds and a private balcony and half bath. The cottage will sleep 5 very comfortably. The large living room is furnished with a large comfortable couch and a gas log fireplace. A table for 4 is off to the side of the living room, but also next to the kitchen which is all open. There is a bar/counter where 2 people can set and eat and also be part of the kitchen area. The living/kitchen area is all one big room with a step down from the kitchen. The cottage is equipped with everything you need to make your get away from it all perfect.

Situated on the six acre lake, guests can enjoy the morning just sitting on the deck drinking coffee and listening to the birds sing or watch for a fish to jump up out of the water. Later go for a hike in the woods, or go for a ride in the paddle boat. There is a canoe to enjoy as well. Fishing is permitted as catch and release only with artificial lures and barbless hooks. There are 2 paddle boards to enjoy on the lake, and if the day is really hot, you may want to take a swim in the lake. The water is cool, but very refreshing.

Spend the day away, enjoying nearby attractions. The cottage is approximately 10 miles for Mt Airy, NC, the hometown of Andy Griffith. Visit the Andy Griffith Museum, which houses the world's largest collection of Andy Griffith memorabilia.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is only about 12 miles away. Fancy Gap is just off the parkway, and has several antique stores and gift shops. The Deli Gap Restaurant is highly recommended for a great lunch.

The Yadkin Valley Wine Country, which has thirty three wineries, has several wineries just a few miles away. Five of them are located in the Mt Airy area. Ask us for recommendations or visit for listings of all the wineries.

Several quality golf courses are located only minutes from the cottage: Primland Golf Course, Meadows of Dan, VA, Cross Creek Country Club, Mt Airy, NC,

Spent a long weekend celebrating our 39th anniversary. Location is very remote and quiet. The lake is beautiful and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset one night and a rainbow one morning. Cabin is a nice size, was perfect for 2 people but could accommodate 2 additional. Has all the amenities you need and was very clean. We spent a day in Mount Airy, drove along the BRP to Mabry Mill and also spent a day at Pilot Mountain State Park. Would highly recommend and hope to make a return trip in warmer weather to really enjoy the lake.

Perfect spot for a long weekend with friends! This was our second time visiting, and we’ll definitely be back for more - it does not get much better than this

Absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful lake view, very quiet and clean! My husband and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary here and it was wonderful!

I was only semi private. There’s neighbors right next door. The toliet upstairs needs to be fixed and used bar hand soap was left in soap dishes for us to use 😞. There should be hand soap pump bottles to use instead. That would be more sanitary
