During the holiday season, you'll find enchanting, tasteful, and delightful Christmas decor. Plus, there's a private hot tub, the perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking, reading, or perhaps doing nothing at all.
The cottage overlooks a charming yard, chicken coop, alpacas, and a beautiful stretch of woods, and will feel thousands of miles away from it all. In reality, though, you'll be just a quick drive from Washington D.C., world-class dining, and some seriously impressive wineries, such as Vint Hill Craft Winery, Nokesville Winery, and Effingham Winery & Manor.
When you're ready for a meal, make use of the fully stocked kitchen. Or, if you'd like to venture out, Old Town Manassas is just a 15-minute drive away, offering delightful dining options.
When the weather's nice, you won't find a better spot for enjoying a morning coffee or evening glass of wine than the porch swing.
