Perfect Get Away

Our stay at Windy Knoll was magical. The home was so well stocked with everything we could possibly need and more during our stay. It was so clean and so gorgeous, and the view was just amazing. We are already planning our next trip back to Windy Knoll and can’t wait!

Quick Family Getaway

My family decided to take a quick three-night trip to escape work and just relax and this was definitely the place to do it! We enjoyed the gorgeous views from the home and visits every night from the white-tail deer. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a nice meal and enjoy our relaxing weekend. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We all enjoyed ourselves, including our two dogs who loved the acreage to explore.

Beautiful Mountain Country Getaway

The host Wendy was very kind and quick to respond to us. This beautiful vacation cottage home has great views and awesome for seeing the stars and moon out the huge windows! The cottage was incredibly clean, organized and comfortable. It is ideally located to all that the Blue Ridge Mountains and Central VA have to offer. Worked out great for us to stay here as we have family that live on both sides of Afton Mountain that we were visiting.

Look no further

You never stop being impressed with this property. It is in the most beautiful setting with views from every room. The furnishings are lovely and comfortable and no detail has been missed. I have never stayed anywhere with a better stocked kitchen. There are full sized bath products and fluffy white towels in the bathrooms. Even the closets are decorated with pictures! Gorgeous artwork in every room. Large front porch for evening beverages and watching the wild life. Stay here. Don’t look any further.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Wendy Maiocco

Our full time home is in Wilmington North Carolina where we spend many hours enjoying the coastal waterways of the Cape Fear region. Wendy works in the culinary field and Mike has a hypno-therapy business. When we are not busy at work we are working in the garden, fishing on our boat, or playing in the water with our dogs, Camden and Noodle.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Afton area when Wendy's Mom built a log home on Jessica Lane (she lives up the street!) 15 years ago. We have spent many hours hiking and enjoying all the area has to offer during all of our visits to Mom' house. We have always admired Windy Knoll and were so excited when the opportunity came about to purchase this wonderful home.

What makes this property unique

When you see Windy Knoll for the first time you will understand why we fell in love with it..... setting is picture perfect. Sitting on the front porch and looking out over the beautiful grassy landscape is truly relaxing. The sunlight streams in the windows, the wind chimes blow in the breeze, the birds sing in their trees.....
