This secluded house is comfortably furnished with a home-like atmosphere. The spacious living area offers room to spread out, take in the silence and relax! Curl up in front of the electric fireplace and enjoy the 50" television in the living room with Chromecast and Wi-Fi for high speed streaming and tele-working. Or, spread out in the outdoor entertaining space and enjoy our gorgeous mountain views. We are surrounded by beautiful farms and one of the oldest dairy farms in the state of Virginia! Depending on the time of year, you'll see different types of crops growing in the field behind the property and we guarantee you'll see cows and horses when driving either direction. Three acres of open yards and pristine woods are the perfect backdrop for our new house (2023), making it an ideal weekend retreat away from the busy city life. If you want to explore the wooded area you are likely to run into our gently meandering creek. Or, discover the best spots in the area, including wineries and breweries, caverns and trails, antique shops and local makers, spas and restaurants only a few miles from the house. Whether you are looking for a restful getaway, a source of inspiration, or a place to stay while you discover Virginia, this is the place for you. We have tons of recommendations for restaurants and things to do! Check out our social media page for the latest updates or request a link to a soft copy of our Welcome Guide. The Nest is only minutes from hiking trails and just a short drive from the Old Rag trailhead. We designed our home as a place to disconnect from technology and connect with nature but it has excellent cell and wifi service. Spend your time here reading a book from our library, playing board games with your friends and your children, watching the wildlife, and/or stargazing.

Welcome to The Nest! We're a family of four: Brittney, Brian, Blaire, Beau and Benny. Brittney is originally from the area and Brian hails from outside of Philadelphia. We met while working and living in Washington, DC before getting married and moving to the Town of Madison (we lived in The Bleake House if you drive through town!). We moved to our current home last year to give our kids, dogs and cats more space to play and grow. We love the beauty and serenity of this location. It made sense to try to share some of this space with out of town guests who don't get to experience it every day. Our pets are very friendly so you may see one come by to say hi: Miss Brisbee, Brody, Sherman or McGee. We're around the corner if you need anything at all during your stay. Enjoy!
