About this property

Beautiful Cottage on a Lavender Farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Create lasting memories with loved ones while enjoying our five-acre property and our LOVE Lavender Farm (which is in bloom at the end of June early July), our well well-appointed rooms, picturesque views of the mountains and our fabulous location.

As you drive through the iron gate, you will immediately catch a glimpse of the mountains through the trees. Pretty flowers are sprinkled throughout the garden of this magical refuge.

Inside the three bedroom/two bath cottage, the decor complements the lush acreage with shabby chic tones of sage, pink, and cream. French and English antiques and twinkly chandeliers adorn each room flowing seamlessly from the living room, though the dining room and full kitchen. The main floor also features a queen-sized bedroom and an adjacent marble bathroom with a tub/shower.

Fling open the sunroom doors onto the deck and enjoy the Blue Ridge Mountain view. Take advantage of the outdoor furnishings for a lovely outdoor meal. Be sure to toast the magnificent sunsets and on summer evenings watch the fireflies emerge and blend into the starry sky.

Upstairs, you’ll find two charming with king- and queen-sized beds. These two bedrooms share a marble bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower reminiscent of a luxury hotel.

Perfect in every way
This cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked through the door until we left, I felt like a fairy princess! It has everything we needed for a marvelous stay! There was much to explore around and in the cottage from hidden little gems to wildlife outside! I don’t want to spoil the little surprises for those that might be staying so I won’t tell all! You need not look any further for a beautiful stay if you are visiting the area! You won’t be disappointed😊

A fairy tale cottage
This cottage was so fun and very pretty. The moment we walked in I felt like I was walking into a French countryside cottage. It was so comfy looking and welcoming. Beautiful colors, gorgeous chandeliers, a wonderful back deck with a big table and six chairs, a small outdoor sofa, 2 grills, and lots of milling around space. I couldn't wait to unpack and sink into the shabby chic couch...which I did and it was fabulous. There are books throughout the house, lovely flower arrangements, lots of little knick knacks to pick up and wonder about and some lovely art on the walls. I made a point to sit in every chair in the place and wasn't disappointed by any. Our group of 4 had plenty of space to spread out into. 2 large bedrooms upstairs, one of which was a fairy garden in a bedroom...quite romantic. And another full bed and bath downstairs. The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to make a full meal. We used the gas grill and enjoyed a nice bottle of prosecco upon arrival. One of my favorite things about the cottage was that I found something new everyday. So many fairies and hidden treasures among the chandeliers and flowers, it was a little adventure to look for them each day. The ground are wonderful and my boyfriend and I made use of a large hammock under the trees. We saw a groundhog every day who obviously lived under the shed and so many different birds. There a short, pretty walk up to a winery at the top of the hill and my friends took two quite challenging hikes in the area while I tested out the furniture for napping and reading:-) All in all, it was a wonderful 3 nights and we would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fantasy experience with all the comforts, and more, of home.

Milestone birthday
Had a group in for nice meals at the typical places in Washington VA area. Cottage was one of four places we had guests use and it was a nice place for all the adult children to stay and hang together in the living room, dining room kitchen areas. They did not get to use the outdoor spaces due to the March snowfall!

Creating the Dream
A Place of Enchantment
LeFay Cottage at Little Washington was born of a childhood reverie imagining such a place- a secret garden cottage exuding magic and mysticism amid the allure of hills as old as time.
Azure and purple mountains majesty.
Gated gardens adorned, guarded o’er faerie spirits.
Fountains and curtains of roses, trumpet vines the colors of sunset weaving magenta hydrangeas, courting butterflies and hummingbirds under a mid-morning sun.
The unpretentious, silver lining of a cloud-gray Cape on a craggy Rappahannock mountainside lane beckoned to me. Years of wholehearted investment followed, converting my getaway to my place of solace. With some toil, inspiration, perspiration, true labors of love and a few clear-cut Christmas trees, LeFay Cottage at Little Washington, became a lifelong fantasy realized.

Why they chose this property

Fall in love with the splendor of Rappahannock.
Walk a country road.
Hike the Appalachian Trail.
Climb a rock.
Capture a sunset through a glass of Virginia’s finest Viognier.
Create your own enchanted story, faerie-tale happy ending, memorable new beginning or happily ever after at LeFay Cottage at Little Washington.
Come for the serenity, breathtaking views, the dirt-road wineries, the world-class dining or just to chillax far from the maddening crowds.
Stay as if it’s forever in a land that time forgot.
