Mehr zu dieser Unterkunft

Ein Schritt zurück in die Vergangenheit mit dem Komfort von heute. Nichts Besonderes, aber erschwinglich.

Das Cosy Cottage ist ein renoviertes Bauernhaus mit zwei Schlafzimmern, einer gut ausgestatteten Küche und zwei Wohn- / Familienzimmern. Jedes Zimmer verfügt über eine eigene Klimaanlage und das Cottage kann leicht durch einen Ofen, Raumheizungen oder einen elektrischen Kamin erwärmt werden. Es hat ein komplettes Badezimmer und eine halbe Badewanne neben dem Hauptschlafzimmer. Es gibt eine Frühstücksecke in der Wohnküche. Die Küche ist mit den meisten Kleingeräten, einer Mikrowelle und einem großen Sortiment ausgestattet, jedoch ohne Geschirrspüler. Das alte Bauernhaus verfügt über Kabel-TV und WLAN für Gäste, die sowohl alt als auch neu mögen. Während die meisten Dinge im Cosy Cottage kompakt sind, ist die Aussicht und Außenseite großzügig. Das Cottage liegt auf einem fast 2 Hektar großen Rasen und die Besitzer sind nicht wählerisch, wenn sie darauf parken wollen. Sie brauchen den Platz. Die gesamte Vorderseite des Hauses ist eine Veranda mit Schaukelstühlen und Tischen, die es zum beliebtesten Wohn- / Esszimmer des Hauses machen können.

Antwort von VrboOwner am 31. März 2020
Quaint is a good description of the Cozy Cottage. The best we can tell it started as a two room farm house in the early 1900s. Then it appears that two rooms were added on the back. A well was dug to replace the cistern that is still there and septic system replaced the out house. A basement was dug out after the house had been lived in for many years. We replaced a large carport with the family and laundry rooms on the back. While the floors are laminate we chose Autumn Chestnut with the wide board look as a reminder of the resources in the area when the house "grew up." Obviously, the Cozy Cottage has never had a wealthy master but there have been hours of family and friend fellowship, especially in the years it has served as a vacation rental. It has welcomed international visitors, been the home for wedding and graduation celebrations as well as celebrating or lamenting VT football contests. Sometimes the internet access almost seems like an intruder into a simpler way of life (but we are grateful for it).

The cozy cottage is a true reflection of Blacksburg, cozy and inviting. We stayed here for the VT spring game and had no issues at all. Place is exactly as described.

Wonderful!

We had such a great time starting at this cozy home! We rented this for my friend's med school graduation and it had everything we needed. The front porch and front yard were the best part, we spent a lot of time out there looking at the view! Owners were wonderful to work with and very responsive, we will definitely be back!

The front porch is our favorite room as well. Rush hour traffic is all relative- it may only be a half hour long on Harding Road. We look forward to having you back.

Nice and cute cottage

We spent three nights in this nice and cute cottage for my daughter's graduation. We hosted a small party there and it had everything we needed. When the weather is good, the view is gorgeous. We particularly like the comfortable beds, which gave everyone a sound sleep and full rest each night. The owner Curtis is very friendly and responsive. He always responded to my questions promptly with helpful information.

Thanks for staying at the Cozy Cottage and congratulations on your daughter's graduation. Each person has a little different definition of a comfortable bed so I'm glad they worked for you. We like the comfort of the memory foam mattress in the master BR as well. Hope to host you again.

This was a fun alternative to a hotel for a football game!

We enjoyed staying at the Cozy Cottage- and one of the best things was the owner, Curtis. He was very responsive to questions prior to the rental and then made sure that we knew how everything worked when we got there. It was true southern hospitality! Sitting on the front porch with my coffee looking at the mountains was wonderful- this really did feel like a vacation rather than a rushed tailgate weekend. The home is cozy- make sure you look at all the pictures on the wall to see some of Blacksburg history! We enjoyed staying there a lot. Note the description is very accurate, so you are pleasantly aware of everything when you open the door!
Antwort von VrboOwner am 31. März 2020
Thanks for your review. We took pains in getting pictures on the walls that represent some of our favorite things. One is a photo of an old log barn that stood on a farm down in the valley. So glad I took it since the barn was removed soon afterward. I just hope that it was put back together in a place that it is appreciated. We knew it as "Bax Johnson's Sheep Darn."

Great location!

Great location! Just one mile from downtown which was so convenient for VT football games. Great place to stay for all VT sports. My husband actually walked back to the Cozy Cottage after a basketball game. We stayed 2 full months Sept -Nov and Curtis was readily available every step of the way for any of our questions. We loved the porch sunset views and enjoyed reading out there catching the sunshine as well. Kitchen was fully stocked so we were able to have home cooked meals and all appliances worked well including the full size washer and dryer. There was every convenience like a place to hang your keys, flashlight by the bed, nightlights perfectly placed and so many supplies from kitchen items to cleaning supplies. Also we were so close to restaurants and everything Blacksburg has to offer but away from the Main St traffic on game days. We could not have picked a better location. I loved che hardwood floors in most of the house. We really enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cottage.

Very cute cottage… interior could use some updating however it is as advertised, a budget accommodation. Great location, beautiful views! Beds very very comfortable.

So pleased to get your review. We try to make the Cozy Cottage a Vintage Property rather than just an old house. Some of the furnishings are old and some were purchased because of their age. We expect the house to be clean-- we can't do anything about the age. While we live at a distance I'm just a phone call away. Best to you.

VT parent weekend cottage stay

Great location close to VT campus, necessities covered, borderline charming. Unfortunately, it took a while for the musty smell to dissipate. It was the first thing we experienced as we entered the cottage. We bought some scented candles to mask the odor. A heavy squall during our second night caused water to seep under the backdoor and into the rug refreshing odor. We made it work by spending most of our time on campus or outside the cottage. The cottage would benefit from a good purging. There were old publications, broken carts, dead house plants cluttering the living spaces. We loved the front porch but the cable strung between and locking the rocking chairs to the porch detracted from the charm. We expected a little more for the surge pricing caused by parent weekend but satisfied with our first stay in Blacksburg.

I am saddened about your experience at the Cozy Cottage. So far I have ordered a air purifier and am still working on a contractor to correct the water seepage. The wind blows fiercely at times on Blacksburg mountain so we added the cable to keep the furniture there. I should have told you about the key to unlock the cable. I'll work on the purging part and review our rates. Thank you for staying. I hope the new shower worked well and the memory foam mattress provided a good nights' sleep.

Cottage Needs TLC

My husband and I stayed at the Cozy Cottage for 10 days in August with our two retrievers. The location and size of the cottage were great, and the owner was easy to contact and attentive. The property needs some repairs and deep cleaning. The family room flooded after a thunderstorm and the ceiling was damaged in a bedroom. The bathroom fan and some of the AC units weren't clean - dust and dirt accumulations. The kitchen range, cabinets and cookware need a thorough cleaning. We were glad to have the space for our dogs and appreciate the owner's waiver of a pet fee due to the flooding issue.

Needs repairs and some care

Worst vrbo stay I've ever had unfortunately. Arrived in evening to find things covered in dust and more, spent 2 hours cleaning before we felt comfortable staying, especially due to covid. Finally went to take showers only to find the hot water diverter was not working. Took lukewarm showers after owner came by to tighten what he could until he could get a plumber out. Couple days later plumber said can't fix so we were offered house next door. We declined to move again as didn't want to spend another day cleaning yet another property, but agreed to use of the shower there as no one else was staying and we need decent shower at least. Next day was getting ready to go out and had NO water...called owner he had someone go over and found the well pump had shut off. Next day came home and walked into flooding rec room, tried to determine source but could not and reported to owner immediately so he could get someone out to investigate source/fix leak. If you are reading this, confirm this home is in proper working order before booking. The owners are nice and live out of state but happened to be in town for a visit - they were unaware of the conditions and they did give a partial refund for our troubles. However, the party they have entrusted this place to is clearly not worthy of it. It is sad to see such a cute place go too ruin because of such neglect and it certainly should not be listed for rental unless and until all repairs are made and these issues are addressed.

Antwort von VrboOwner am 24. Juli 2021
Thank you for leaving the Cozy Cottage better than you found it. We deeply regret the series of negative experiences but we are glad we were in town. I've learned that I need our housekeeper back in if there is a long lapse of time between travelers. The old green tub and defective plumbing is already removed and being replaced with a walk-in shower. The pump cut off due to the thunder storm because the circuit breaker protected the pump and the house. I'll need to leave reset instructions but it seems things were working as they should, though inconvenient. We believe the water in the floor came from the very heavy rain fall but we are trying to figure a way to keep that from happening. We have added a canopy over the back entrance. We agree that it is a cute place and we are working to maintain its retro charm for travelers, many of whom have been frequent guests, and our own comfort.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Curtis Absher

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
We purchased the old farm house so that we could update it and enjoy it while sharing in the care of elderly parents that lived next door. Curtis' Dad
built the neighboring home place in which Curtis grew up and he played with the boys that lived in the Poff house. So while location was the main incentive to buy the house there was also a sentimental facet. In those care giving years, we generally came for a week but sometimes those weeks got extended. When we got the house livable we were able to give the parents the privacy of their own home and we had a short retreat. We never had the illusion of making a 'purse out of a sow's ear' as local folks might say but we wanted to blend the past with the present as we furnished and decorated the cottage from attics, consignment and yard sales, and thrift shops. We wanted the cottage to reflect its surroundings and the people of the area. We selected photographs and paintings that featured Virginia artists and scenes that could be seen only a short drive from the house.
Occasionally a Kentucky picture or book may show up in the cottage, something that we bring from our Old Kentucky Home. But as a Blacksburg native and a Hokie, Curtis still has much loyalty to his Old Virginia Home.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

The Cozy Cottage stands out because of its simplicity. There are some unique antiques and some plain old used furniture. But there is a blending of old and new; for example, the master bedstead is antique metal ( as is the rare find metal dresser) but it has an up-to-date memory foam mattress. The property used to be out in the country but now it is less than a 1/4 mile from Blacksburg's City limits. In minutes you can be in town or back out in the mountains. It is almost like having a mountain chalet with pizza delivery service. And no one has ever complained about not finding a place to park.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

In addition to convient location the Cozy Cottage has cable TV, WiFi, a washer and dryer, an almost completely furnished kitchen ( no dish washer). Many guests have called it their home away from home. It is not fancy but it is homey!
