Gorgeous Tiny Home on Cliff's Edge - 4WD/AWD Access Only | Cottage in Faber
1 Bedroom Cottage in Shipman, Faber
Affectionately referred to as "Tiny," your home away from home has all the comforts: a small but mighty kitchen stocked with high-end cookware, a gorgeous bedroom with skylight for watching the stars under the covers of your own queen sized bed, and a spa-like bathroom that has a rainfall shower. The cottage is nestled near the edge of an abandoned quarry, yielding unforgettable views. Enjoy coffee on the screened in porch or take advantage of the property's remoteness by stargazing from our open deck. When the weather is right, make a fire in our solo stove fire pit and talk the night away. There is no television in the cottage (there's plenty to do outside!) but we do have high-speed fiber internet if you want to bring your own device to veg out.
It's ultimate comfort away from the worries of the world.
Outside of "Tiny", the property is yours to explore! Enjoy rugged hiking trails or go off the beaten path to find little alcoves and hidden treasures. Trek down to the three-acre pond to watch the ducks, geese, and other wildlife. Bring a fishing pole to catch (and release!) large-mouth bass and bluegill. Looking for a river adventure? Hike down to the other side of the mountain and splash around in the 1500 feet of frontage on the Rockfish River. When the water is high enough, bring kayaks upriver and take a leisurely float back "home" over small yet exciting riffles. Your own private playground awaits!
For those who want to go farther afield, Nelson County and the surrounding area is home to a wide range of attractions. A short 30-minute drive will put you into Charlottesville where you can watch a UVA game or just enjoy the town. Numerous hikes and outdoor destinations are within 45 minutes including Natural Bridge State Park, Crabtree Falls, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can even reach out to James River Runners to arrange for a tubing trip. We are also lucky to have world-class breweries, wineries, and distilleries within a 30-minute drive. Our favorites include Brent Manor Vineyards, Mountain and Vine Vineyards, Wild Man Dan Brewery, OutbackBrewery, Three Notch'd Nelson County, Blue Mountain Brewery, and Silverback Distillery to name a few. Live music and summer events are common across the County and we're happy to help you choose the best combo of activities to make your trip unforgettable.
