There is so much to see and do near Lovettsville from places of historical interest such as Harper’s Ferry National Park, to outdoor recreation including hiking on the nearby Appalachian Trail (AT), or biking on the Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD), Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O), or Mount Vernon trails. My husband Nathan is an avid outdoorsman and AT thru hiker who is more than happy to provide info on local hikes and provide shuttle service if he is available. Interested in custom wood working? Pop into his studio also located on the property and see what he is currently working on. He enjoys sharing his craft with others. For the adventurer in you, take a rafting or tubing trip down the Shenandoah or Potomac Rivers.

No visit to Loudoun County is complete without a visit to its wine country.

Our dog Reese spends most days outside chasing butterflies and birds and trying to herd the hens, so please be aware that a friendly dog lives here. We also have a barn cat named “Chicken” who roams the property. Check us out on (Hidden by Airbnb) and FB @cottagewinecountry. Guests have access to the whole property. The upper deck is reserved for our guests and you are also welcome to enjoy the lower deck (which includes the grill), stone patio, and yard. Relax in our hammock, swing under a tree, and visit the chickens. Relax and enjoy the views and sounds of the country. We respect our guests privacy although we enjoy running into them in passing and hearing about their adventures. Please feel free to knock on the door with any questions you may have or if we are out we can easily be reached by text or phone call. The location is down a gravel country lane, off the beaten path in a peaceful and natural setting and yet easy to get back out to action in the surrounding towns. Bonus: there is a nice trail nearby that leads to a pebble beach on the river. Directions to hike down to the river from our house: Leave our driveway. Turn left and walk down till you reach a stop sign. Take a left and go about 3/4 mile to where the road ends. Continue walking straight on the trail. Don't go up and don't go right. Stay on the downward left trail to the river. About a 1/4 of a mile down is the ruins of an old mill and beyond that to the right is a nice pebble beech on the Potomac river. Keep an eye out for bald eagles!
