The property itself is breathtaking. We have tons of amenities in the cottage. Everyone tells us they overpacked and they bought too much at the store. Amazing coffee, gourmet tea selection, vegan bath products and so much more are all included in your nightly rate.
Loads of new upgrades and designer touches including centralized heat and air conditioning , tile flooring, and a new game room in the historic barn make staying at this country cottage an even more wonderful experience.
On the property: explore the 20 acres filled with unspoiled nature. Watch wildlife from the front porch or back deck, pull a game from the historic 1820's chestnut barn built by the Mabry Family, the original settlers of the area.
Relax by reading a book from one of the four libraries, (one is just for kids and one is just for cooks!). Take a walk through the forest down to the creek, soak in the hot tub, have a family BBQ, reconnect over a board game, watch DVDs from the large collection, play a game of corn hole, volleyball, badminton, soccer, or cook a gourmet meal in the stocked kitchen with European fridge and dishwasher and 5 burner range with griddle and convection oven.
Mabry Creek Cottage is in the only part of Virginia with NO light pollution, so the stargazing is AMAZING!
This is a place to unplug and breathe.
We can host events up to 50 people in the barn and up to 100 in a tent on the lawn. Packages start at $1,995 in addition to a two night minimum stay.
