3 Bedroom House in Bluemont

Come to the Blue Ridge Mountains and refresh your spirit! Our vintage farmhouse is in the heart of Virginia’s wine country, minutes from vineyards, breweries and wedding venues. Enjoy our local wines on the back deck watching spectacular sunsets and wait for the stars to light up the sky. Walk to the Appalachian Trail from the Bear’s Den trailhead one mile away. Play in the Shenandoah River a few minutes away. Middleburg, Purcellville, Leesburg and Civil War sites nearby.
As you travel up the mountain on our Scenic Virginia Byway, you start to see the stacked stone walls from the Revolutionary War era. You’ve entered the Bear’s Den Historic District, 1900’s era homes built as summer retreats for Washingtonians escaping the summer heat. The Bluemont train carried them out of the city where they were met at the station by horse drawn wagons to take them up the mountain. Bishop’s Gate was built in 1910 as the parsonage for the bishop who ran the neighboring church. The charming cottage was restored in 2018 by the owners who live on the adjacent property. The house is thoroughly updated while staying true to its original form. Original heart pine floors, bead board walls and original furnishings offer lots of charm. All kitchen supplies (including coffee for the Keurig coffeemaker) are included. Online work or school with reliable internet. Games, puzzles, books and a record player are available.
The screened porch, complete with porch swing and rockers, is surrounded by mature boxwoods- perfect nesting sites for the songbirds that welcome you. Under the bistro lights on the back deck, a table for outside dining seats six and Adirondack chairs overlook the fire pit and barn. The rope swing in the 200 year old tulip poplar tree delights all ages.
We are situated on 20 wooded acres perfect for getting kids in touch with nature and off screens!
S’mores supplies provided for the outdoor fire pit and all firewood is provided. Charcoal for the grill is also provided. Winter weather advisory: weather on the mountain is very unpredictable, you will need 4 wheel drive or chains. The driveway is 400 feet down the mountain and ice makes it very difficult driving.
One hour from D.C., half an hour from Dulles.

Summary: Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful, secluded setting. Perfect for a weekend reunion with three long-time friends! The cottage provided a warm and welcoming refuge after each day of cycling in the country. With a wood stove (kindly lit by the hosts prior to our arrival!), fire pit, deck, screened-in porch, and an ample dining room with farmhouse style table, we had multiple settings for relaxing over good conversation, taking refreshment, and just catching up. And, not to be forgotten, the beds were extremely comfortable (also important after long rides!). BTW, Dirt Farm Brewery and Bluemont Station Brewery and Winery were two of our post-ride favorites and very convenient! And last, but not least, our hosts were exemplary in their hospitality and are to be commended for saving and restoring this historic property for others to experience. A-plus plus!

Summary: My friends and I were looking for a charming home to enjoy a relaxing, stress-free weekend—and we couldn't have come across a better home than this one! The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, and even arranged to have the wood stove in the living room going when we arrived. Can't recommend this cozy home enough!

Summary: This property is located out of the way, but also near enough to a lot of the areas you likely want to visit if you're staying in Northern Virginia. It was quiet, and the sense of history from the decor and background of the property is inspiring.

Summary: Beautiful house! Loved the porch, the lawn, the tire swing, and unfortunately we didn't have enough time to use the fire pit. It was a perfect place for our family to stay while attending a wedding. And Marcia was very communicative and lovely.

Summary: Pleasant little antique cottage in the woods with an interestingly charming story . Comfy beds, kitchen had all we needed. Host was very attentive . House had a musty odor once inside, but after opening a few windows it seemed to dissipate.

Summary: Beth and I are in Philly now, but both wish we were still in Marcia and Bill’s lovely cottage. The location is a perfect tonic for anyone wanting a peaceful refuge in the woods. The cottage is clean and well-equipped, and our nearby hosts made us feel welcome. The property is a short drive to great hiking on the AT, and close enough to several National Parks and historical sites. We loved to coming home each evening to grill out and enjoy the sounds of nature.
