About this cottage rental

High speed Wi-Fi added June 2023.
It’s mountain viewing and festival time in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Sycamore Shade is located on the banks of the Piney River in Roseland, Virginia. A short drive from Charlottesville, Lexington, Lynchburg and Staunton.

Our cottage is a great place to relax on the deck or read in the hammock. Native brook trout and wild brown trout populate the river. There are fishing tackle, snorkel masks and inner tubes for enjoying the river. The house is nestled between the Cardinal and the Little Priest mountains in the Blue Ridge Religious Range. The George Washington National Forest adjoins the property.

Excursions can include hiking the nearby Appalachian Trail, four-wheeling up the Shoe Creek jeep trail, or mountain- biking the gravel roads that follow the river. Wintergreen ski resort is a short 25 minute drive. There are numerous wineries, breweries and orchards nearby, and to check for festivals and tastings at these go to The Nelson County visitor’s website.

The trilliums laurel and jack-in-the-pulpits bloom in spring. Summer is just fun because the water is warm enough (but still mountain spring fed cool) to tube or swim. Fall is spectacular because the trees are ablaze with autumn color, and the brookies can be seen spawning from the deck. Watching a movie from the extensive library of DVDs with a fire going in the woodstove is the way to relax in winter after an afternoon of skiing at Wintergreen.

It is always about 10 degrees cooler at Sycamore Shade than it is in the city, and the river makes a tranquil sound splashing over the rocks any time of year. Regardless of the season, when you pull into the driveway at Sycamore Shade, you will decompress and feel the peace and calm that that this home by a running stream always produces.

This is a truly relaxing off the grid experience allowing vacationers totally unwind.

The section of the Piney River this home sits on is amazing. Walking out the back door to the sound of the river and sitting on the deck with the tranquil views instantly put me into a trance. I will return.

This was our second stay at this house. It was just as beautiful as we remembered it. It is the perfect location to disconnect and relax. The kids loved exploring the river and the adults took advantage of the deck. The owner is very responsive and accommodating. Couldn't ask for a better spot.
