(see plans)Other things to noteRather than sell a cherished family home, we are delighted to share this very special place with our VRBO and Air BnB guests. Wren House has been artfully upgraded and modernized. Spotlessly clean, luxury bedding, upgraded bathrooms, and artful furnishings make the dwelling unique and inviting. It has space for common meals, and comfortable tucked away corners for reading or getting to those emails.There is a resident wren, and we keep the birdfeeders on the porch full for her and a community of finches, nuthatches, cardinals, chickadees, and sparrows, who will entertain if you have coffee or lunch outdoors. Summers, the porch is frequented by a host of humming birds. Deer and turkey are frequent visitors in the pasture. Beyond, the view from the porch is of The Priest and Three Ridges peaks and where the Appalachian Trail wends its way along the Blue Ridge.Nearby, are popular hikes, bike trails, and watering holes, including Cardinal Point Winery, Blue Mountain Brewery and Devil’s Backbone breweries, Silverback Distillery, and Wintergreen resort. The Rockfish Valley Community Center is close by and hosts the best coffee roasters in the region, Traeger Brothers, gift shops, and music. Most Saturday mornings the Farmers Market is open in Nellysford, just a quick drive from the house along with a small supermarket, hardware, automotive stores, and restaurants.Rockfish Gap is just up the mountain for excursions along the Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge parkway, to Swannanoa, and dozens of trails. We leave suggestions in the house handbook. Just down the other side of the mountain are Rockfish Gap Outfitters, Blue Ridge Kombucha (try the Elderberry), and the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Waynesboro, and Staunton. Not far to the north and east is Charlottesville, with all the American history, architecture, fine dining, shopping, great music, and entertainment you can fit in. Of course, don’t miss the famous downtown walking mall with its bookstores, boutiques, unique shops, art galleries, cafés, theaters, and street performers.Wren House is perfectly situated for the above and much more.
