Inviting Wine Cottage Hosted By Heather
Clean with plenty of mid-century charm, The Wine Cottage is just a short drive from many of northern Nelson County's most popular destinations, including dozens of wineries and breweries and the Afton Mountain Tunnel. Enjoy the beautiful mountain views and private back yard fire pit!
You'll be interacting via TEXT directly with the owners, but not in person unless needed.
The neighborhood is quiet and rural. 0.9 miles to Veritas, and ELEVEN wineries/breweries/distilleries within 5 miles! 15 mins to Humpback Rocks and Jack Albright Loop (plane crash site!). 1.5 miles to Afton Tunnel!
There are three keypad entry doors to the property.
We named this property “THE Wine Cottage” since this was our First Nelson County vacation rental. We love this lot - the adjacent rock vein, distant mountain views in the front yard, the private, wooded back yard - and we love the timeless 1950’s original details.
Just a few details you will want to know. We have carefully outfitted this house to accommodate a large group, with several separate seating areas. The downstairs gaming area is perfect for playing on the nintendo or foosball table. The laundry room contains a high capacity washer and dryer that can be easily closed off from all the activity of the household. Also included are three smart TV’s, board games, ceiling fans, Keurig and regular coffee makers, stainless steel appliances, cooking basics, and modern farmhouse decor. Complimentary wifi, toiletries, hairdryer, ironing board, and central heating and air conditioning.
"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”
The property is easily accessible by car and contains five parking spaces.
Ask us about private winery tour options through local car companies!
If you’re looking to accommodate a larger property, we have four other listings on this street.

Family retreat
We recently stayed at the Wine Cottage in mid-Sept. 2024. Our group was made up of family members from OH and PA meeting up for some relaxing time in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Charlottesville, wineries and breweries. The Wine Cottage is well appointed and had the number of bedrooms we needed our group. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay a positive experience. Communication with the owners prior to our stay and during was positive. We would definitely rent this house again when are visiting the area.

Perfect location
We came for my daughter’s wedding at King Family Vineyards. It was a perfect spot to get everywhere we wanted to visit easily. The house is beautifully decorated and we had a ton of natural light for hair and makeup before going to the venue. I would love to return and spend more time visiting wineries and breweries. The area is gorgeous!
