About this property

The "Small" House

  • About this space
    The Small House is anything but small when it comes to comfort and relaxation. It is located in the heart of Nellysford near a local grocery store and restaurants. Close to many hikes, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the AT, wineries, cideries, and breweries! The property includes a deck, outdoor fire pit, grill, and 11 acres to explore. At the very back of the property is 600 feet of private river/creek access. The perfect spot to fish, picnic, read, and/or let the kids cool off and play!
    The space
    Named for the family who lived there from 1935 to 2016, this home was remodeled and updated in 2020. Quiet comfort of a modernized farm house, with 100 Megabit internet! The home includes 2 living areas one with a gas fireplace and the other with a woodburning fireplace. There are 2 queen bedrooms downstairs each with a nearby full bath. The downstairs also includes a laundry room for your use, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining room that seats 6-8. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a half bath. One bedroom has four twin beds and the other bedroom has a futon that folds out and can sleep 1-2. The futon bedroom also has a tv and Nintendo game system. The backyard has a deck, firepit area and many acres leading back to a private section of the Rockfish River.

Perfect Location!

We loved our stay at The Small House. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed our walk to the river behind the house and hope to come back to enjoy it in warmer weather!

Great family stay

The Small House was perfect for our family of five. The kids loved the upstairs bedrooms and the two downstairs bedrooms had everything we needed. The kids also loved saying hi to the chickens every morning! Great location across the street from the IGA and right down the road from several breweries and hikes.

An amazing place. Very homely, well appointed, very helpful host. The garden, field and wooded area down to the river would be amazing for children (and dogs!). There is lots to do in the area, and places to shop and eat within walking distance. Highly recommended.

A few nights in Nellysford…

We enjoyed a most cozy and comfortable stay at this lovely home on the “Brew Ridge Trail.” It was a perfect place to unwind before heading north on I-81 to Ontario. Steps from the Rockfish River as well as a grocery store, we didn’t have to travel far to take advantage of local trails or a wonderful variety of local fare at the numerous restaurants/breweries/cidery. Having the vista of the mountains was beautiful and Jennifer was great about setting us up for a short, but wonderful stay. We look forward to returning to this special place in the Rockfish Valley.

Beautiful Cabin with Creek access

The house is cute, clean and in a good location. The best part is the creek, it’s prefect, we just hung out down there all day.

Larger than expected, no pun intended

The Small House was more than I expected bathroom wise. Very much updated and the immensities were very much appreciated. Took a walk to the creek which was an unexpected surprise of how vast it was and the clearing was nicely kept. A gem in the Wintergreen area
