Cozy Mountain home near Covington, Virginia, The Greenbriar and Homestead

Windcliff Acres at Escatawba is located at 3621 Midland Trail Road in Callaghan. The city of Covington is only 6 miles away with shopping: a super Walmart and a Food Lion grocery store. Many recreational opportunities are within a short distance; The Greenbrier and the Homestead are World-class golf resorts under 20 miles away. The historic Humpback Bridge is within minutes of the house and there are many other historic sites nearby. Roanoke, Va. and Lewisburg W. VA have airports that service the area, along with Amtrak which comes into Clifton Forge and White Sulphur Springs.

The house was built in 1970 by Marie and John Bradley Jr. of Callaghan, Va. as their retirement home. The house is handicap accessible and dog friendly. The well water at the house has been said to be the freshest tasting water in the county.

The house has 3 bedrooms with ample sleeping arrangements for up to 8 adults in the bedrooms: 2 full-size beds, 1 queen-size bed, and 2 twin beds, all with updated mattresses and linens. There are 2 full baths by the bedrooms and one-half bath off the kitchen/laundry area.

The newly updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a deep-well sink with attached drainboard, disposal, and butcher block countertops. There are three fireplaces in the house, though it is heated with thermostat controlled baseboard and wall heaters to meet individual preferences. We do have newly added central air and heat for the warmer and colder months. There are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms, den, and kitchen. There is always a good breeze throughout the house when the windows are opened and there is an attic fan for circulating the air, day or night. The house also has a den and living room. There is comfortable seating throughout the house. The back and front porches have ceiling fans for use in the summer months. The house has a new bronze metal roof and is well insulated. Parking for approximately 6-8 cars is available on the property. There is covered parking for 2 cars.

The house has a land-line with a local phone number but can accept, but not place long-distance calls. There is internet access with wifi in the house (information about the setup is posted on the information board in the dining room and there is also a wireless printer for renters connivance. There are also 2 flat-screen televisions (one smart) on cable service. Locally, the house is situated within a half a mile of 2 grocery store/gas stations and a bakery is about 3 miles away. The view from the back porch overlooks the quaint community village of Callaghan. Easy on and off access to the interstate 64 and lovely mountain roads that direct you to river and lake fishing. A great place to visit and enjoy with a variety of enriching amenities that the mountains and this historic area provide. Festivals and entertainment abound, but also a great place to just get away from the chaos of everyday city life. I do permit pets if they are crate trained and can be constrained to those crates when not attended by their owners. Dogs over 40 lbs are not allowed without permission from the owner. Cats are not allowed unless special circumstances are approved. Birds are prohibited. The quotes given for the rental of the property are based on one couple additional guests will be charged $20/ night/ person unless infants with their own beds.

Cool calm and relaxing
The house overlooks beautiful views from the back porch. Comfy and cozy home. The kitchen was fully stocked - as described. Lots of birds nesting, beautiful yard in the spring. It was damp during our visit, so you could smell the fireplace/woodstove in the den area. We were relaxed during the entire stay - way overdue. We are looking forward to returning for another stay soon!

Fun Girls Weekend
My best friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend and had a great time. House is up on 20+ acres and private, but you do still here some road noise from 64. Not bad, but noticeable. House was clean, but had a musty/moldy smell in kitchen area in particular. Bedrooms were not as bad. It was very clean, though. Property manager is was very nice and gave us some good recommendations on restaurants and things to do. Overall, we had a great time and would stay here again!

Wonderful weekend
We had a wonderful time at the cabin!! However, I think my German Shephard, Sasha, had the best time of all. She loved the property, running around the house and the property all day long. She played and we walked all over. The house was very well stocked and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit at night. Only issue was the master bath tub did not drain well but we just used the other shower. Appreciated the wifi for the few times I needed to do work and it was great relaxing and cooking dinner while enjoying football on Sunday!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!! We hope to enjoy ur home again soon!!

We Enjoyed Our Stay, But...
The Good On our arrival, we ran into the property caretaker, Natalie. A very nice lady who took the time to tell us about the house and gave us suggestions of what to do while in the area. The House - More house than cabin, it maintains a very warm 1950’s ranch architecture and decorated in a matching style. It has subtle modern updates while keeping its retro vibe. View - Perched on a hill, it has a spectacular view of the mountains and valley. Kitchen - Updated and fully stocked with modern cookware and appliances. Water Pressure - Surprisingly good water pressure and heat in the master bath considering the home’s age and location. Internet - We had 2 students schooling online and three adults teleworking, all worked simultaneously without any issues. A very important feature for families looking to get away during the Covid era The Not-So-Good The house is convenient to I-64; and when I say convenient, it’s literally looking over the highway about 1/4 of a mile away. As a result, you hear the constant din of traffic through out the day and night. If the quiet of nature is important to your mountain getaway, you will be disappointed by this location. Conversely, if noise doesn’t bother you and your looking for a central location to jump off to other spots in the area during the day, then this might be the place for you.

It took 52 years to bring us back together, but we finally did it. We reconnected on a DNA matching site. It was absolutely amazing. The house was very comfortable and felt like "home". Thank you for allow us to stay at your beautiful home.

Just what the Doctor Ordered
After a summer of being trapped at home, coming here was just what the doctor ordered to relax our bodies and renew our spirits. The home itself is exactly as it is described. It is tucked into the woods away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Only the sounds of I-64 in the valley below interrupted our peace. Further, the area is full of great places to escape into the woods for great hikes and outings. Another way to disconnect from the screens we are so connected to in our every day existence during these strange times. Thank you for a great week away.

Far away but not too far...
We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as described on the web site. It is definitely secluded, but close to mountains, rivers, and hiking. Easy access from highway. Would def stay again. The cooking and kitchen setup was excellent for a group, but my only suggestion is replacing the old gas grill. Natalie was very helpful!
