Loads of new upgrades and designer touches including centralized heat and air conditioning , tile flooring, and a new outdoor covered dining area in the historic barn make staying at this country cottage an even more wonderful experience.

On the property: explore the 20 acres filled with unspoiled nature. Watch wildlife from the front porch or back deck, pull a game from the historic 1820's chestnut barn built by the Mabry Family, the original settlers of the area.

Relax by reading a book from one of the four libraries, (one is just for kids and one is just for cooks!). Take a walk through the forest down to the creek, soak in the hot tub, have a family BBQ, reconnect over a board game, watch DVDs from the large collection, play a game of corn hole, volleyball, badminton, soccer, or cook a gourmet meal in the stocked kitchen with European fridge and dishwasher and 5 burner range with griddle and convection oven.

Mabry Creek Cottage is in the only part of Virginia with NO light pollution, so the stargazing is AMAZING!

This is a place to unplug and breathe.

Up to 10 guests can very comfortably stay in the cottage.

The property was immaculate. The living and sleeping areas were spacious. The decorating and vibe of the house is beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare delicious meals. The surroundings were beautiful. The hot tub was great. The barn and games were fun. If I could give this property more than 5 stars, I would.

Perfect Place to Relax and Enjoy Nature
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful, Mabry Creek Cottage & Barn, is as a place to connect with family or friends or just get away from the day-to-day grind. The owners have truly thought of everything you will need to support a stress-free vacation. You just need to bring a suitcase of clothes, because everything is already there for your stay. Can’t wait to stay at Mabry Creek Cottage & Barn again.

The Cutest Cottage!
We absoluately loved staying at this cottage! On the outside, we weren't sure if we'd fit (we had 7) but we did and were very comfortable! The layout is perfect and we never felt on top of each other and we had our space. It is pretty far out there and there is not much around, so definitely keep that in mind. But it was so nice a quiet and relaxing! We had a power outage when we got there, which was fine and we just grabbed dinner in town. Greg was great and staying in touch and told us when it was back on! Communication is top key and ya'll definietly have a wondeful space! 10/10 would recommend again!

It was magnificent, it was an oasis for the mind, body and soul.
I never give a review because I would be writing all day with all the problems we had. We have been and stayed at many places and have always been let down. The pictures are always better then what we paid for. We have almost always have had problems where we stayed. Mabry Creek Cottage and Retreat was better then the pictures. It was very and I mean very clean. The house is very nicely furnished and decorated, and the grounds are immaculate and just gorgeous. The hot tub was sparkling as were the tables and chairs outside. It was quiet and peaceful and just totally lovely. It is definitely a 5-star plus place. We didn’t want to leave. Jenn and Greg have created and beautiful place to stay.

Great family gathering
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage! The house is very well-furnished and nicely decorated, and the hosts have provided many thoughtful touches and little extras that make the place unique and interesting. We ate dinner at the large table on the patio every night, and enjoyed the firepit, pool table, tree swing, hikes to the creek, and games on the lawn. It was the perfect setting for our family get-together. Jenn and Greg were very helpful and responsive hosts.
