As you cross the bridge over Back Creek you will see the adorable stone cottage. Yes they really do exist! The small cottage packs a powerful punch with large rooms, rustic window details and a location out of the rat race. In the Winter there is a cozy wood stove that will heat the home if you don't want to use forced air heat, Wintergreen is 6.3 miles away, in the Spring the Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries stocks Back Creek with Trout, in the summer you are just around the corner from Sherando Lake with boating, swimming and hiking and in the fall you can sit back on the front porch and watch mother nature do her thing. All of this only 10 miles from Waynesboro! The cistern is fed by a natural spring so water is FREE.
