They say opposites attract – and it must be true. My husband and I have been married for over 25 years. He’s my best friend and while we have many things in common, there’s plenty of areas where we differ. He likes chicken; I prefer steak. He likes salty; I like sweet. He loves winter while summer is my choice.
Hubs grew up in Ohio – he loves snow and white Christmases – neither of which happened in coastal North Carolina this year. Christmas day hit 70 degrees. Hubs was disappointed to say the least.
So – that made my Christmas gift to him all the better. A weekend in a mountain cabin in Virginia.
Drum roll….
This little cabin was perfectly enchanting!
And while it is quite the romantic getaway, I couldn’t help but think that others might find the cabin a wonderful writing retreat. Everything about this place tickled my imagination. It was literally like walking into a fairy-tale.
The Enchanted Cottage is located in Dugspur, Virginia – just about 30 miles north of Mt. Airy, North Carolina.
How about you? Have you stumbled across a place that would serve as a wonderful writing retreat?

perhaps I should broaden my spectrum, but it is ALWAYS the ocean—the wild inlet, watching the spray from a rogue wave fly through the air, the tracks of sand as it is blown across the shore. There are few miracles of nature that move me like the sea. ALTHOUGH…butterfly’s, horses, dogs, old people (older than me) do it for me too.

There is something to be said about water. The ocean is inspiring but I think a river speaks to my heart.

Oh my word!!!!! We vacationed in Fancy Gap, VA this September! That’s only a few miles away! Our place wasn’t as woodsy, though. It was perched on the side of the mountain looking down into Mt. Airy. What a coincidence!

It’s a small world! We were in Fancy Gap in the fall of 2014. I love that the area isn’t overly popular – that you can still get away from it all.

I love the cabin and the scenery. Blue Ridge is our favorite getaway.

I’m not a fan of the winding roads – always feel like we’re gonna launch of the side of the mountain. 🙂 But – the scenery is beautiful and so relaxing.
