It’s been unusually warm in the mountains this winter. JR at the post office stated last week “we will pay for this warm weather”.

Mother nature extracted payment last night with blowing snow, 50+ MPH winds, 9 degrees.   The horses we’re reluctant to leave the barn this AM, and Buddy (our lab) gave me the “I don’t think so” look when it was time to go outside.

So today will be a quiet winter Sunday in most of Blue Grass.  We attended church last night, so after the farm chores are finished, today’s agenda includes curling up with a good book, followed by an afternoon nap.

We now have online booking and credit card payment capability!!

Just click on the “Availability/Book Online” button and you will be directed to an online booking calendar with payment options (checks, credit cards accepted)

Since opening, we have tried to make the financial transaction of reservations painless and easy for our guests.  In order to make the reservation process easier, we are making some changes.

In a few days we will be going online with an automated reservation system that will include the ability to pay via credit card.  Advance reservations can still be paid via check, but short notice stays will require a credit card payment.

The new system will allow  immediate booking, payment, and reservation confirmation.  Please let us know should you encounter any problems as we transition to our new system.

Reports of snow starting tomorrow.  Winter has been very mild so far this year, however Highlander’s know it will come.

Falling snow, windy, and cold…but the wood stove has our house toasty.  Looks like Winter has finally arrived.

Chestnut Cottage would like to congratulate new Highland County Sheriff Tim Duff and extend our best wishes/thanks to outgoing Sheriff Herb Lightner

Well the weather is set to change this morning. For all you snow lover’s, it’s on the way!
