This is the second time my family stayed at the Virginia Country Cottage in Troutville. The space was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces including the front and back porches, grill and the hilltop seating area where we enjoyed a few sunsets. We had a very relaxing weekend and enjoyed reconnecting with one another.

Such a lovely home. It felt like home right when we walked into this cottage. Every room was decorated beautifully with antiques along with all of the modern comforts you could ever need or want. The kitchen was stocked with beautiful dishes and everything needed to create a nice meal. The dining room had a large table in it with a lovely sideboard and china cabinet filled with wine glasses and more. There were smaller, more quaint nooks and tables for a more intimate meal in the kitchen and in a separate game room. The sofa and chairs in the living room were very nice and comfortable. We slept upstairs in the king room and it was amazingly comfortable with gorgeous linens and towels laid out in beautiful fashion. The shower upstairs was wonderful, with lots of water pressure and shampoo and soap provided. We walked around the property’s little trail that was up the hill and behind the house. Our pups loved it! We also took the little trail beside the garden to the AP trailhead. It was a short little jaunt up a small hill. The AP trail at that point was an easy hike, although we only walked 3 miles in. There were some hills, but very manageable. Our pups loved that as well! We definitely want to return and explore more of the area! The farm cottage is in a perfect location to start from! You may feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere when actually you’re close to many places to eat, drink, and shop. A huge thank you to our hosts!

The Cottage

Once you get to the property, the grounds are beautiful, pet friendly (dogs only). It is a very peaceful setting and the cottage is ideal for relaxation . Ants were bothersome but it did not deter our activities. I would consider returning again.

Exceeded Expectations

The Country Cottage was just perfect for us and our dogs. It is ideally located to serve as a launching point to enjoy the endless hiking options and activities in the area and the AT is in the backyard! The hosts are so nice and gracious and the incredibly clean cottage has everything you need and more. The grounds are beautiful and extremely quiet. Between the peacefulness, beauty and super comfortable bed, it was the best sleep we had in a long time. Cannot wait to return!

Have stayed here a few times over the years, it is our go to place near Roanoke. The house and property has been very well taken care of, extremely clean, and well supplied with everything you need. We love relaxing on the porch or up on the hill, the views are great. The location is perfect for getting to places to hike nearby or for going into Roanoke. We will be back again for sure.

We stayed here for a Va Tech Clemson football game. It was about a 45 minute drive. Cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. Kitchen was stocked with everything. Bathrooms were updated and spacious and beds very comfortable. Nice to sit out on the porch in rocking chairs and enjoy the peaceful nature. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts was very responsive.

Exceptional Stay!

If I could give more stars I would! This has got to be one of the COOLEST places we've ever stayed. Very nicely appointed. Kitchen has all you need. Its true! You can pick right from the garden and fruit trees. We had eggplant, tomatoes and rosemary from the garden. Pears and figs from the trees. We hiked along the Appalachian Trail! The deer meander through the property all day. They love the Asian pears falling from the tree right now. In the evenings we would sit on the back porch and the deer would just hang out. We saw lightening bugs! Haven't seen them in years. We would recommend this place to everyone who loves a stay in the country but its close to stores etc. Husband very impressed that the gas grill had adequate gas and worked properly for two meals.

Wonderful cottage retreat for late summer

We had a wonderful stay here for a few days during the week that we were moving our daughter into college at VT. The cottage feels remote but is less than 10 minutes to grocery shopping and restaurants in Daleville, 20 minutes to downtown Roanoke, and 45 minutes to Blacksburg. We loved the garden and gazebo area. Kitchen and baths were nice, bedrooms were comfortable, and AC/temperature control worked well. The Wifi is a bit slow for work purposes but worked fine for video streaming. There is a trail from the cottage to the AT, but it needs some clearing as we could not get past a fallen tree and other brush toward the end. Overall, I highly recommend staying here!
