Charming cozy RIVERFRONT cottage on the Piney River. A little slice of heaven!!

The Chestnut House

The perfect place for you and your family to rest, unplug, enjoy novice trout fishing, and stargaze under the clean country sky.

Welcome to the Chestnut House. This recently renovated riverfront home is a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1926 as a log cabin made of real chestnut, it has since been used as a US Post office, country market, and later a house in 1936. The home is nestled between the Cardinal and Little Priest mountains in the Blue Ridge Range and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.

The main attraction of the Chestnut House is the outdoors. Just a step away from the back door is the Piney River. Enjoy the sounds of this rushing river from the beautiful sundeck furnished with Adirondak chairs, or the picnic tables, rock fire-pit, or hammock. This two-story cottage offers scenic river and mountain views, a wood stove, chef’s kitchen, and sleeping accommodations for up to six guests. Open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the rushing Piney River and nature throughout the house.

A fun fact about the home: Growing on the side of the home facing the river is a very old, almost extinct, American Chestnut Tree. This is why we call it the “Chestnut House”.

Lastly, don’t forget your fishing rods! Native brook trout and wild brown trout populate the river.

Beautifully renovated property on the Piney River
Maria and Randy have done a truly outstanding job of renovating this house into a luxurious retreat in the mountains. The accommodations were beyond what I expected. The details within the house itself are seen in every room. Randy kept as much of the original structure as possible so there is a rustic feel alongside the modern finishes. The rooms are well laid out and there is plenty of space to enjoy. The kitchen is well stocked with any sort of cookware needed as well as many items that you would need for meal preparation. I realized that I hadn't brought certain spices with me but I found exactly what I needed in the spice cabinet. The house is situated along the Piney River and even though the water was low during our visit it was great just getting to hang out by the water. Randy went out of his way to talk with my son and I about trout fishing in the river as well. As mentioned in the listing, the water pressure in the house is less than you would find in the city or even in a house with a deep artesian well. We didn't find this to be a problem but it's just something to be aware of if you have multiple guests. I visited with just my son and we just had to time our showers separately to allow adequate water flow for each of us. Pretty much you only want to have one stream of water going at a time.

Great Experience
This property was very nice. The hosts left us locally fresh eggs and donuts. All towels and sheets were fresh and there was so much extracurricular games and supplies left for visitors to use. Maria and Randy did a wonderful job with this property

Exceeded expectations
My husband and I had an absolutely lovely time at Maria and Randy’s house. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well stocked with thoughtful amenities. The views of the river are gorgeous and being able to hear it throughout the house was something special. We also enjoyed sitting out on the deck at night and stargazing. Maria was a wonderful host, very communicative and prompt. A true gem of a property - will definitely be back!
