A truly special and incredible spot with wonderful hosts. By far the best place we’ve stayed. Our family of 4 cannot wait to go back. Perfectly situated between Grayson Highlands and West Jefferson. And honestly we didn’t leave the property for a whole day because it’s so peaceful.

The Nut House at POV is truly a slice of Heaven. The breathtaking beauty of the property, the exquisite interiors of the Nut House, the peace and serenity is hard to find today. The hosts, Traylor and Diana, are warm and inviting. They are available if you need suggestions on where to visit or shop - both are very knowledgeable of the area. The best few days I’ve enjoyed in a long time.

This is our second time staying at this beautiful property and we love it so much. Staying in May was beautiful with all the flowers blooming. We had a blast fishing in the reflection pond and just exploring the property. My 3 kids (10, 12, 13) barely came inside even when it was raining because they were having so much fun. They didn't want to leave and are already talking about our next trip.

Talk about a home away from home! Nuthouse Cottage was above and beyond any expectations. Our check in was seamless and and all instructions were laid out perfectly. Everything you could’ve thought of needing was provided. The home was absolutely beautiful and the reflection pond was our favorite. We packed up lunches and spent the entire day down there fishing, floating, and enjoying the views. We can’t wait to visit again!

Grayson Highlands trail race trip

Stayed here to be in close proximity to Grayson Highlands state park for a trail race. Nothing negative to say about our lodging and the property. We had everything we needed and the grounds are beautiful. Highly recommend if you are escaping the city and want a relaxing stay in the playground I call the mountains!

DREAMY!!

This is the second time we have stayed here, and it will not be the last. The Nut House is absolute perfection. Nestled in the gorgeous mountains surrounded by nature, each little detail of the home is so charming. It has become a "home away from home" for us. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful stay we had ! Our hosts were amazing and responsive and the house and property are amazing. We (2 kids and 4 adults) were treated to a winter wonderland with enough snow to sled on. We hiked at Grayson Highlands, had coffee and treats at the general store in Lansing, checked out the fly fishing spots, and visited Damascus and West Jefferson. Such a beautiful place to unwind! At the end of each day we read books by the fire and walked the extensive trails on the property (gorgeous sunset views and beautiful stars at night). The dogs were in heaven as well . The house is so well stocked and full of fun surprises like the views from the cupola where the kids slept.

I can't say enough good things about the Nuthouse. Amazing property. Beautiful landscape, beautiful grounds and more than beautiful house inside and out. The owners were a pleasure to deal with, both by messaging and in person. We can't wait to be back

Perfection

One of the loveliest homes and properties we have ever stayed. The view is incredible, the location is absolutely beautiful and peaceful and the home is cozy and comfortable. Our whole family loved every minute of our visit here. The fireflies at night were spectacular. The kitchen is one of the best stocked I’ve ever seen. My kids loved the crow’s nest and rocking in the chairs on the front porch was blissful. We certainly plan to return!!

I was welcomed by the host as I arrived and got lots of good info on places to eat and attractions. There was also lots of info in the house. I have never rented a place with a better stocked kitchen- nice pots, pans and good knives lots of dishes too. Updated appliances and comfy furniture. The view was amazing even after all the leaves had fallen. Star gazing was top notch too. We walked some of the trails and I caught some nice fish in the pond. We will definitely be returning to the Nut House

Amazing property!

The Nuthouse cottage exceeded expectations! The house was clean and well stocked with everything you could want for an escape away from the city. The property had amazing views and was immaculately manicured. Traylor was an awesome host and this would be the first place we would check if/when we want to come back to the area!

Slice of Heaven on Earth

Absolutely a magnificent place in every way! The pictures on the website are great but the actual place is beyond beautiful. If you want true peace and quiet in a beautiful well kept and cared for home with everything you need along with very attentive hosts, this would be the place to go. We are already planning our next visit to The Nuthouse!
