Cozy Cottage filling the need.

Cozy Cottage is filling the need


We call the renovated Poff House, "The Cozy Cottage." We purchased and renovated the little house to provide a comfortable environment for family, friends, and guests.  We have tried to make the cottage a place where family and friends want to spend some of their vacation time visiting family members as well as  some of the natural and historical attractions in the area.  We've tried to furnish it with surplus and used furniture to keep it affordable for short-term renters.  Family comes first when it comes to use of the Cozy Cottage.  Friends of family can rent it for even less than the already competitive rates.

The living room  and master bed room has been furnished with antiques and family hand-me-downs to preserve the feel of an old but simple farm house.



A second bedroom has a bunk bed with a full size mattress on the bottom and a twin on top.



The Cozy Cottage actually has two featured living areas. One is the front porch furnished with Cracker Barrel  rocking chairs and a panoramic view of the mountains.




A carport was converted to a "family port" with vaulted ceilings and a flat screen television.





The Cozy Cottage is already serving its purpose.  Family has stayed there while visiting the grand parents.  Several families have spent some of their vacation in Blacksburg because of the house.   A family was there for the funeral of a loved one.  A family celebrated a daughter's graduation and a family used it as headquarters for a wedding.  One couple came to share Thanksgiving with their student family.  Couples shared the facilities on a football week end.  Our hope is that there will be many more memories made of family celebrations in this Cozy get-a-way.


Grandson Joshua McCulley is  developing a website,

and we have this blog where we archive stories about people, places and events  around the area. A more personal family blog is  Curtis & Kaye Absher.com.  We hope you can visit either electronically or physically.
