2 Bedroom Cottage in Roseland

The Chestnut House
The perfect place for you and your family to rest, unplug, enjoy novice trout fishing, and stargaze under the clean country sky.
Welcome to the Chestnut House. This recently renovated riverfront home is a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. Originally built in 1926 as a log cabin made of real chestnut, it has since been used as a US Post office, country market, and later a house in 1936. The home is nestled between the Cardinal and Little Priest mountains in the Blue Ridge Range and the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.
The main attraction of the Chestnut House is the outdoors. Just a step away from the back door is the Piney River. Enjoy the sounds of this rushing river from the beautiful sundeck furnished with Adirondak chairs, or the picnic tables, rock fire-pit, or hammock. This two-story cottage offers scenic river and mountain views, a wood stove, chef’s kitchen, and sleeping accommodations for up to six guests. Open the windows and enjoy the sounds of the rushing Piney River and nature throughout the house.
A fun fact about the home: Growing on the side of the home facing the river is a very old, almost extinct, American Chestnut Tree. This is why we call it the “Chestnut House”.
Lastly, don’t forget your fishing rods! Native brook trout and wild brown trout populate the river.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Chestnut House! The pictures online were beautiful, but seeing it in person was even better. The picturesque landscape and the calming sounds of the Piney River truly made it feel like a slice of heaven.The host went above and beyond, providing unexpected extras like donuts, eggs, and popsicles. My 1-year-old and 5-year-old grandchildren had an absolute blast. We will definitely be returning!

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy cottage in the Virginia hills! It had everything we needed, and we were able to cook meals easily since everything worked perfectly. The owners were fantastic and even helped us celebrate our 6-year-old's birthday with a special treat. Just a small note for future guests: if you go for a walk and take a right out of the cottage, then another immediate right over the little bridge, you'll come across a house about a quarter mile down with some aggressive dogs. Just be cautious in that area or if you have small childrenor pets avoid it completely. Overall, we had a fantastic time and can't wait to return!

Summary: We were amazed with the extensive property and beautifully outfitted home. All areas were spotless including a shed and an outdoor barn space shockingly clean, all lawn was recently cut so we could make use of all the spaces in so many ways. Even the windows were like new and we could open windows and it was spotless not a bug in the screens. Can't express how clean the inside was, with lots of decor, games, books. I cooked a lot and the kitchen had every option you might need. Appliances seemed brand new. Huge dining room table. We also cooked over the fire pit using a tripod we brought and charcoal they had for the grill, and ate by the river, where we spent most of our time. With our dog we walked a couple miles on the gravel road into the national forest along the river and found much to explore there and blooming mountain laurel and rhododendron. We used this as a retreat while a family member is going through chemo for incurable cancer, and chose it due to it is closer than our home to UVA med in case of issues, it had the highest cleanliness rating, and we could feel like we were camping with our dog yet have a luxury lodging. We got that and more and can't wait to book another trip here. The communications were excellent. The chestnut tree is a treasure, the only place you'll ever see a mature American chestnut tree when it used to be one of the most common trees in the Appalachians. How it still lives when blight has made this tree extinct is a mystery.

Summary: We all loved the cottage in Alhambra. The setting was amazing and peaceful tucked in among the mountains and overlooking the creek. The inside was lovely and our hosts had the place outfitted to fill all of our needs. This was one of our favorite stays!

Summary: Although off the beaten path and requires a little planning for groceries, this is an excellent place to unwind and sip your morning coffee beside the flowing stream. We so enjoyed spending a long weekend with family enjoying the quiet mountain setting. The house was immaculate and very well appointed with everything needed to prepare a wonderful meal, even fresh eggs provided by our lovely hosts! We could not have wished for anything else than what is already provided! Thank you.
