The space
The Wooder House is a ~1900 sq foot, 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 3 story home nestled in the woods of a 38 acre property. Our home is perfect for families, friends, and couples looking for a cozy space to chill together in the woods. Your pups will love it too! Our favorite inside feature: huge windows in the common area that let you enjoy the forest and mountain views from the inside.
NEARBY: The amazing offerings of Nelson County (and beyond!) are all just a short drive away! Fun abounds! Breweries (12min+), cideries (15min+), wineries (8min+), Wintergreen resort (~25min), so many hiking options to choose from, water adventures, and more!
KITCHEN: Fully stocked for all your food and drink prep needs - cooking tools, pans, and other essentials (spices, oil, etc.), drip AND french press coffee maker options, blender, crockpot, hand mixer, a gas grill outside, serving dishes, cocktail shaker, and plenty of space to store your food.
BEDROOMS: 3 bedrooms have queen beds, and another has 2 twins (day bed and a trundle). One bedroom (queen) is on the first floor, and the other bedrooms are all on the second floor. Linens are provided and there are white noise machines in every room.
BATHROOMS: 2 bathrooms - 1 with a shower/no tub (first floor) and 1 with a luxurious window-side tub/no shower (second floor). A sweet outdoor shower is available from roughly April to October. Basic toiletries and towels, etc. are provided.
Note: While our home can sleep 8, we suggest a max of 6 adults.
FIRE: Inside there is a cozy wood burning stove, and outside there is a smokeless fire pit. We provide firewood as well as fire starters (and s'mores sticks!).
ELECTRONICS/TECH: Great Wifi for those who want it! You’ll find a discreet 80in projector screen on the first floor w/AppleTV, a 50in FireTV on the third floor (in the loft), Netflix included, bluetooth speakers, and a record player. Enjoy our carefully cultivated vinyl collection while you take in the glorious outside views from inside!
LOFT: We call the third floor "the loft." In this open room (no door), you'll find space for yoga (2 mats, blocks, and a strap are provided), a dedicated desk for work, more books/games/puzzles, a small couch for reading and relaxing, a queen futon (extra sleeping space if needed), and a 50in FireTV. This space was designed to be versatile and let folks spread out in the house!
KIDS: A kid-targeted room with 2 twin beds also has a hidden nook with toys, books, and games, as well as blackout curtains and a sound machine. A pack-n-play is available for the littles. There are step stools in both bathrooms, two high chair/booster options, and kid-friendly plastic or stainless steel plates/cups.
*Please note though, parents of babies and toddlers, some features to be mindful of: The house has 2 sets of stairs and there are no baby gates. An unprotected wood stove is centered inside the house and there is an unprotected fire pit outside.*
DOGS: Courteous pup family members are welcome. You know your dog best! We provide couch covers, towels for wet paws, bowls, and more. =o) Nelson County is very dog friendly - perfect for bringing your pals along! If you plan to leave your dog in the house alone though, please bring a crate they are comfortable in. Other pets (cats, etc.) are not permitted. *Please note that there is a pet fee that is applied during booking.*
OUTSIDE: Enjoy cozy patio furniture on the deck, or settle into one of the 6 Adirondack chairs around the the fire. Bring your s'mores supplies! =o) We also have a gas grill for your BBQ goals. We provide firewood and gas for the grill. A sweet outdoor shower is available from roughly April to October.
We also have a short, private trail down to the Rockfish River. While we think it's lovely, it is not maintained consistently throughout the year and in some seasons can get overgrown. We encourage folks to enjoy it with the caveat that it is imperfect, and not for everyone!
We love hosting and are thrilled to be able to share the Wooder House with you! =o) Please reach out with any questions! Check out @thewooderhouse on IG for more!
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house with the exception of a locked owners' storage room on the third floor. There is also a garden shed on the property for the owners.
Folks can peruse the property at their own risk - the trails are lovely but not regularly maintained at this time.
Other things to note
Our home is for folks looking for a calm nature escape, not for a party.
We have two security cameras outside, both facing towards the driveway.
The road in is gravel and hilly, though our driveway is pretty flat. AWD or 4WD are recommended, but not needed, generally, but are *needed* for ice/snow in the winter!
We love sharing our space with others, and hope that you enjoy your stay and come back! Please treat our home with respect and comply with our house rules. =o)
