JULY DISCOUNT! Romantic 2 BR 2 story w/mountain views and stunning outdoor space

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains with easy access to wineries, breweries, hiking, biking, boating and fishing. Located on a 220 year old farm, the Guest House at Forest Hill features a professionally decorated interior with beautiful views of Mt. Pleasant from the upstairs porch. You can cozy up and read or have a glass of wine and dinner on the downstairs porch while enjoying the stars. Well suited for those who enjoy a well appointed space and an excellent choice for those who love to cook. You will find a nice bottle of wine on the counter and our own grass fed beef in the freezer when you arrive. For history buffs, The Guest House is a former "teachery" (where the teachers lived) for the first Rosenwald School in Amherst County.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The house was so comfortable and well appointed. The decor was perfection and the view far surpasses anything you can imagine. The quiet surroundings were peaceful and soothing to the soul. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this beautiful, historical and magical home.
