Quaint Cottage Located 15 Miles From Blacksburg VA

The cottage has spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, original plaster walls & a kitchen island made from early 1900 2ft wide boards. Both sofas fold out into beds for extra accommodations. It sits near the New River and the Norfolk & Western railway and, as such, the train is active and passes by several times a night, please be aware of the potential for train noise.

The cottage is not suitable for large groups or parties.

There is a stove with oven, a microwave and toaster, a refrigerator, cookware, plates, cups, glassware and silverware.

We have Smart TV locally made soap and locally roasted coffee. We provide ear plugs for guests who prefer not to hear the train.

The cottage is located next to The Palisades Restaurant in an old resort village which was once a thriving destination and a stop on the N & W Railroad. A destination once again, the village is coming back to life with an award winning restaurant, artisan shop and now lodging.

As an added service, we guarantee dinner reservations at The Palisades Restaurant for guests. Please request reservations for the day, time and number of guests at the time of booking. Reservations requests cannot be guaranteed last minute.

Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. We booked for three nights, but were so put off by the condition of the property and lack of accuracy in the description, we terminated after the first night. Resolution was swift and appropriate. One can only assume the property owner has not been on site in some time. One also wonders how this could have been rented out in the first place.

Gorgeous Starlit Cottage

The cottage is as described, comfortable and big. The train is a bit noisy but earplugs do the trick - shower hot, excellent pressure, and extraordinary stars on a clear night. Absolutely would stay again. Thank you, Shaena!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

It was hard to enter when I arrived, as it is so rural there is no cell service. I couldn’t check my email to get the code that was supposedly sent. The property is run down, not as pictured. The ceiling has fallen in on the porch, large cracks on the plaster walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Light switches are inconvenient, so you have to cross dark rooms to reach them. The ceiling fan chains are so short you have to stand on a stool to reach them. The house is set next to train tracks and the train went by 4 times in less than 3 hours. The brakes squeal like nails on a chalkboard. Without ear plugs I would not have been able to sleep. Part of the allure of this house is that it is in a rural setting where you hope it will be quiet. I love staying in old places, but not when they are not as described or pictured. It was not an enjoyable stay at all.

Overnight Train. and lodging lightening

Overnight train kept us up most of the night. The lighting in the lodge needs more lamps. Over head lights are great, but sitting in the evening needs low level lighting. Lodge as very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again, but realize that several trains come through the night. Little too expensive for the stay.

Journey home

The property was very comfortable and the host was very helpful (a special thank you to Alicia for stepping in and being so helpful). As mentioned by others, there are trains that go by the back porch several times a day both day and night. We didn't mind it. Thanks again for a safe and comfortable stay.

Traveling to WV for a wedding and my mother took me to Palasades several years ago as it was a favorite of she and her late husband. When I saw the cottage was available I booked it. Loved everything about it - especially the trains. Loved being back in the mountains!!

Mountain cottage getaway

Mr. Hunter's cottage is a lovely cottage from a by-gone era. Located in the mountains of Giles county, VA, this cottage is comfortable with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The cottage is furnished with pieces that could have been there when it was built. The cottage has a beautiful porch, a great place for morning coffee. There is a very nice restaurant just steps from the cottage. I advise having at least one meal there, make sure you have reservations, as it can get quite busy. The restaurant was closed during my visit, but we were able to prepare very nice meals in the cottage kitchen. The New river is just steps from the cottage, and there is a very nice boat ramp near by. I believe there are several liveries in the area that will provide canoes, SUPs, tubes, and sit on kayaks, as well as a shuttle.There are also a number of other natural attractions in the area. The Cascades in Pembroke is a lovely hike to a beautiful waterfall. Bring your birding guide books and binoculars, you may get a few for your life list! The cottage is located on a very busy train line, with trains passing night and day. There is a road crossing near by, so all trains sound the horn when passing. There are foam ear plugs provided. TL;DR: clean, comfortable cottage located on a river with a train line in the mountains of southwest VA, great place for a getaway! Plan for curvy, narrow roads, trains night and day, and a slower pace.

Fun for a weekend in Blacksburg

It's an older home so the floors were a bit uneven, but all the furnishings were very nice, loved the walk-in showers. I did need to use the complimentary earplugs because it's directly beside the railroad track and there are frequent trains, including at night, but with those in I slept great, comfy beds. The road into Eggleston and the driveway to the cottage are fairly steep and winding, I was glad I had AWD. Highly recommend walking over to the Pallisades for dinner, it was SO GOOD. Wi-fi and Netflix worked great too, overall a very nice stay!

Country Gem

Wonderful home in a beautiful and out of the way location with easy access to Blacksburg and VT! All the modern amenities in a charming, older home in a country setting with an interesting historical story. We enjoyed the thoughtful touches like the coffee from the award winning restaurant next door and the toilet paper with humourous wrappers. There was comfortable bedding and tons of fluffy towels. Despite it's somewhat remote location there was good WiFi and streaming and cable. We could even see our local news from our home city in Texas. The area surrounding the home is worth some adventure driving, just drive and enjoy amazing vistas and stunning tunnels made from the trees! We will be back! Perfect to escape the craziness in Blacksburg during the times like VT move in/out, football games, parents weekend, etc., but close enough to go back and forth throughout the day, if needed. The only thing that might be an issue, for some but not us, was the train that passes by. We LOVED sitting on the porch and having it go by. The owners thoughtfully left earplugs at the bedside in case the train was bothersome, but we didn't need them. Oh! We like to sleep with the TV on so we appreciated not just having one in the TV room, but in both bedrooms. Not important to some, but great for us! I say book this place, but leave some dates for us!!!

Great stay next to the best restaurant!

This was definitely a fun stay in a cool old house! The Palisades restaurant next door was outstanding. This Florida girl had a rough time with the curvy roads going up the mountain, but well worth it. We loved watching the trains go by and I slept through the night without a problem!
