The Plains House | Lovely Hunt Country 3-bedroom cottage with large deck & firepit on 3 acres

3 Bedroom House in The Plains

This charming cottage on three acres is located 8 miles south of Middleburg near the picturesque village of The Plains, VA. We are in the heart of Hunt Country (wine and horse country) in the foothills of the Appalachians, 50 miles west of DC on 66. The home is perfect for a quiet getaway. Renovated thoughtfully, it retains its charm and 19th-century stone foundation. The fully equipped kitchen/dining room has an open plan while the sunroom opens to a large deck overlooking the expansive lawn. We have satellite tv in the living room and a smart TV upstairs. We have unlimited high-speed internet through T-mobile.
Three of the beds are trundles that pull out from the twin beds (all real mattresses). The one downstairs is a pop-up. The location of the property is ideal for hiking (close to the Appalachian Trail), biking, and horseback riding. Artists will appreciate the rolling hills, historic architecture, and miles of old stone fences. Enjoy the many surrounding wineries, antiquing, orchards, and fine dining establishments nearby, or pack a picnic (we provide a basket and blanket) and enjoy "Twilight Polo" up close every Saturday evening throughout the summer in The Plains' own Great Meadow where the VA Cup steeplechases are held annually. The farmer's market in The Plains is each Sunday from spring to fall. Boarding and horseback riding lessons are possible across the road at Madcap Farm. Horses neighing or roosters crowing in the distance will remind you that it is time to relax and take in the country air.
You'll have the entire house (first and second floor) and, of course, the deck and the 3 acre lawn. We provide both indoor and outdoor games (like horse shoes and croquet) and have over 250 movies (plus kids movies) and DVD players on both floors. The basement may be used for laundry purposes only and is off-limits to children. Although we have beds for eight, it is a cottage, so we recommend no more than six adults.
Although we may not always be there to greet you, we are a text or phone call away. I have provided a house manual which lists recommended restaurants, coffee shops, parks and outdoor activities, house info and emergency info.
We love staying at the house when time allows so you will find that we leave some basics there for our use - and for yours if needed. The kitchen cupboards have staples and spices, oils, etc. In the refrigerator you'll find condiments, salad dressings, etc. Likewise, in the bathroom medicine cabinets, you will find some necessities so you won't need to run to the store for that little thing you forgot. Also, we do have a security camera in the driveway since the property is not always occupied.
PLEASE NOTE: Our base price is listed above, but we do charge $20 per person per night for additional guests after the first two. Children under 2 are free. We are not too far from the road so we expect that children (and/or dogs) will be watched. We welcome guests planning a relaxing weekend but we ask that binge drinkers and wild partiers please book elsewhere.

Summary: Set in rolling fields and woods of Virginia's horse country, Rob and Lina's house is warm and inviting. We enjoyed the countryside, dining and shopping in Marshall, Middleburg and The Plains, and came back to the outdoor fire pit in the evenings. We plan on coming back again.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful weeklong stay at Fox Cross Cottage. The property was immaculately clean, cozy, quiet, and restful. We stayed 7 nights. We went into DC a couple of days, then visited numerous Civil War sights/battlefields the rest of the week. We loved the surrounding countryside. We drove 4 days off of the main thoroughfares so we could immerse ourself in the area while reaching each destination. As for the cottage, the beds were comfortable, the furniture was plenty and comfortable, and the location was fantastic. We didn't have time for any homecooked meals or outside grilling, so I can't comment on any of those things, but the kitchen was very well-stocked with everything I could think of needing. Lastly, working with the owners was a fabulous, relaxing process. We simply couldn't have asked for better hosts. All in all, I can't recommend this property enough for a small group. Granted, it sleeps 8 total, but that would have felt a bit cramped to me. I personally think it's best for a group of 6 or less, but everyone is different.

Summary: The property was exactly as expected from the advertising. Huge yard and quaint lovely house. We had family visit a couple times and it was very comfortable. One lady said it was like driving into a movie set when she first saw the property. We enjoyed the wineries and a few restaurants in the area. Communication with the owner was abundant and appreciated.

I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our time at this lovely, quaint and cozy home which is nestled the beautiful bucolic area of historic northern Virginia. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful and couldn’t have made us feel more welcome! You won’t be disappointed!! Enjoy!
