1st time to the area for a wedding nearby which made its location perfect! Plenty of comfortable seating on the porches for relaxing & bird watching. Are stay was short, but we had everything we needed. The coffee/ tea counter was perfect. The veiw from the dining room table, beautiful. The bed was comfy, the place clean & peaceful, making it a breeze to prepare for a family wedding. I would not hesitate to stay at Sweet Afton again, & take some time to explore this beautiful area.

The cottage was clean, well-equipped and peaceful. We enjoyed the dark skies at night, even seeing the Milky Way. The Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway were nearby and easy to get to.Shops and restaurants were a little farther but still accessible.

We had a great stay at sweet Afton house and bathroom remodel was a huge improvement. Our only complaint was grass needed mowed when we arrived. Contacted host upon arrival to request mowing as soon as possible. Host committed to Wednesay, two days after our arrival for a 4-night stay. Grass wasn't mowed until Thursday, the day before our departure. No communication from host to follow up on our concern. We love spending time outdoors with our dog, so playtime and clean up was difficult.
