Beautiful and Relaxing!

Steele Cottage never disappoints! It was beautiful up there and the weather was gorgeous! We took a little walk up the mountain, ran into one of the neighbors and we talked about the land, the pipeline and the history of the cemetery we happened upon. The cottage is always cozy and clean. And, the Hokies won! Great visit!
