Jennings Cottage

Two connected rooms and 4 single beds share one bath with a claw foot bathtub and shower. Sitting on the East Side it is shadier and cooler and has a beautiful view of the lawn. It is the closest cottage to the Dining Room and Main House. Jennings cottage is very old school with a bathroom in one room with a connecting room. Both open to the veranda porch but be aware that the bath is not in the center but in the far room.

Fist Sunset. Yes. Covered with sheet metal form the 1950’s. We never really know why that happened. It seems like it would make it hotter but it doesn’t but it is definitely unique!I t is a beloved cottage.

First Sunset

First Sunset A is two rooms, housing two artists with a connecting bath with a bathroom accessible by both rooms complete with a clawfoot bathtub. There is a double bed and a single bed in the front room. The room adjoining is a double bed.  Both sides have the vintage furnishings you would expect. A porch along the entire cottage overlooks the mountains and the sunset.

First Sunset B is a newer space we renovated in 2018 when we had to replace the floor of an old storage room. It is very sweet with two rooms with a bath that has a walk in shower. Two twins on one room (or a king) and a smaller room with a twin.  Both rooms have the vintage furnishings you would expect. A porch along the entire cottage overlooks the mountains and the sunset.


 
The view from Second is sunsets and mountains and a lot of Virginia Fireflies.

Second Sunset from the back. The front is hard to photograph since it is at the top of the hill. It has a verda porch all along the front like the other cottages.

Third Sunset

Three Rooms and One Bath. The larger two front rooms have a view of the mountains and direct access to the veranda porch. In the front room there is a double bed and a twin, and the second room has two twins and the third room has a single bed. The smaller room opens onto the screen porch that can also be accessed from the veranda porch side but is part of the smaller room to use as a studio space . The bath has a clawfoot tub and there is also an outdoor shower!

This is a very popular cottage due to its mountain and sunset views. It is further from the house for those with mobility issues, however, and closer to the studios.

Square House gets its name from its shape we assume! Home to guests since the turn of last century, it is directly across from the Main House.
