We stayed there for a Liberty University event, and it took us about 30 minutes to drive from the cabin to the school. What a wonderful cabin! The beds were very comfortable - the master suite has a foam mattress. We had absolutely everything we could possibly need: toilet paper, soap, laundry supplies, dishwasher tabs, etc. The boys had fun in the hot tub and the pool. We loved the quiet location too. Had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay there again!

Family Getaway Celebration

The Empty Nest Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family weekend! We received a beautiful welcome basket to begin our stay, full of wonderful treats. The cabin is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The cabin was not only beautiful but so comfortable, welcoming and exceptionally clean! It is in a peaceful and quiet area which made our weekend even better! The homeowners guide and QR Youtube aids were more helpful than a hotel front desk! I had reached out with a couple of questions and received very prompt responses. You can just tell that the homeowners care not only for their home but for their guests as well! The Empty Nest Cottage deserves more than five stars!!!
