Born in the 60s
My work: The Cottage & Farm
LeFay Cottage at Little Washington was born of a childhood reverie imagining such a place - a secret garden cottage exuding magic and mysticism amid the allure of hills as old as time. The unpretentious, silver lining of a cloud-gray Cape on a craggy Rappahannock mountainside lane beckoned to me... Years of wholehearted investment followed, converting my getaway to my place of solace. Some toil, inspiration, perspiration, true labors of love and with a few clear-cut Christmas trees, LeFay Cottage became a lifelong fantasy realized. I invite you to fall in love with the splendor of Rappahannock. Walk a country road. Hike the Appalachian Trail. Climb a rock. Capture a sunset through a glass of Virginia’s finest Viognier. Create your own enchanted story, faerie-tale happy ending, memorable new beginning or happily ever after at LeFay Cottage at Little Washington. Come for the serenity, breathtaking views, the dirt-road wineries, the world-class dining or just to chillax far from the maddening crowds. Stay as if it’s forever in a land that time forgot.
