Come Stay Awhile
Modern Conveniences
Soon after Jenn Scully and Greg Smith bought Mabry property in 2021, they renovated the cottage, installed energy-efficient appliances, set up comfortable furniture throughout and added a big screen TV and other techno-savvy features.
Historical Roots
In the 1820s, the Mabry family built the barn on the property out of chestnut wood because of its sturdiness. Unfortunately, the chestnut blight of the early 1900s destroyed the American chestnut tree population, which makes the barn both a historically significant building and a tribute to the American chestnut tree.
Natural Retreat
Feel free to roam barefoot since we apply no chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides anywhere. Enjoy the taste of the pure spring tap water and naturally-raised herbs. Breathe easy knowing we only use organic cleaners, and the cottage updates were completed with VOC-free paints. Sleep deeply on cotton sheets, organic vegan mattresses and bamboo pillows.
Green Initiatives
In every room, you’ll discover beautiful vintage, antique, and handmade pieces made from reclaimed materials. We also support Virginian artisans by purchasing and showcasing local hand-crafted furniture throughout the house and on the porch. All of our furniture is environmentally friendly and formaldehyde-free.
We are striving to become 100% plastic-free soon. In the meantime, we limit our one-time-use items and choose plastic-free packaging whenever possible and sanitary. Our cleaning and bath products are vegan, natural and in BPA-free reusable plastic or glass containers. And, since pure spring water flows from the tap, you’ll never need plastic water bottles during your stay.
