Country Living & Pest Control

Carter’s Cottage is located in the beautiful Virginia countryside. With fresh air and open space comes the occasional visit from local insects.

We maintain a regular professional pest control schedule and take preventative measures year-round. While this significantly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during warmer months.

A few sightings are a normal part of country living — and part of the charm of being surrounded by nature.

The house was absolutely stunning. We had a girls weekend and went distillery hopping. We felt very secure, cozy, and had an amazing time. Loved the mattresses so much everyone that stayed wants to know what kind so they can have one at their own homes.

Fantastic location near everything. Fantastic kitchen, very well equipped with everything needed for a nice getaway. Beds were AMAZINGLY comfortable. Place was very clean. No sneaking to the kitchen in the middle of the night though to grab a glass of water without waking people up, the wood floors are very creaky. Considering the hefty cleaning fee, I was surprised by how many additional chores and cleaning tasks there were. Overall a nice place. Very well labeled.

Great place for overflow family members at Christmas!

Two of our sons, each with two children, stayed here. It was the perfect setup, two bedrooms with king beds and a room with two bunk beds! The location was super convenient for joining us at our StoneyCreek home for meals and heading to the mountain for skiing and snow tubing. The property is very clean and updated. The hottub was a bonus!

This property is amazing. Location 10 Cleanliness 10 Communication 10 We were celebrating a milestone in a friends cancer remission journey (10 years) and felt so welcomed with a personalized gift and decorations. The details are always what matter! There was so much effort from the owners in making this experience special. This property was so nice, we really didn't want to leave with the accommodations and the back yard. When we did leave there was so much within walking distance or a short drive away. If you are looking for somewhere in the area, look no further, book now!!!!

Wonderful home

The home was beautiful and very clean. The best part of the home was the fact that it was in such a great location for the local brewers, distilleries etc. However the property exceeded our wants and needs. The owner stoked the home nicely and we never had to worry about little things like paper products, soaps etc. we enjoyed our girls weekend! We would definitely rent again!
