Katydid Cottage is nestled in the heart of the historic village of Warm Springs, Virginia. Its bucolic setting features a year-round brook that flows in front of the house - look carefully and you may see a trout - and pastoral views of sheep grazing next door. Experience the relaxation of sitting on the front porch listening to the ever-present running stream! This idyllic and unspoiled location is the epitome of the pleasant aspects of country life and amenities within walking distance. There are four restaurants, an art gallery, spa, the Bath County Library and Historical Society, and the Historic Warm Springs Pools all close by and pictured in the photo album. The cottage built in 1920 and completely restored has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms with the primary bedroom (king) having an en-suite bathroom. There is a detached guest bedroom (king) with its own full bath. The cottage has an open floor plan. The dinning and living area share the wood burning fireplace. There is a flat screen TV in the living room and Master Bedroom with streaming service and excellent WiFi throughout.. Warm Springs is the county seat and only five miles from Hot Springs and The Omni Homestead Resort that has just completed a $175M renovation!
This charming cottage and location make this property an ideal mountain retreat!

Pat Haynes has been a resident of Bacova in Bath County, VA since 1976. Just after graduating from Princeton University, he came to Bath County to be the Tennis Director for The Homestead in 1974. In 1981 he purchased the Bacova Guild with his former assistant tennis pro, Ben Johns. At the time, The Guild was a manufacturer of hand made giftware. Most notable, the mailboxes with covers of screen printed artwork laminated in fiberglass. From 1981 - 1996 The Guild grew from 25 employees to over 700 and increased annual sales from $250,000 to over $35 million becoming the largest industry in Bath County. In 1996 they sold Bacova Guild to Burlington Industries. From 1997-2002, Pat was a Real Estate Sales Associate, and in 2003 he received his Real Estate Broker's License. Since 1980, he has owned and managed Bacova Properties, a real estate investment and property management company. It is currently the largest single source for commercial, residential, and vacation rental property in Bath County. Bacova Property's commercial locations are easily recognized by the distinctive Bacova Jockey statue located just outside each property. Pat has been active in community organizations serving as a two term President of the Bath County Chamber of Commerce, and Co-chaired the Bath County Bicentennial Committee. In 2003, he was voted Business Person of the Year.
Pat lives with his wife, Bebe, on their 500 acre farm, Barn Hill, where they raised five children. Currently there are three horses, two ponies and a donkey on the farm along with their two Newfoundlands (Porter & Stout) and three Jack Russells (Briggs, Rascal & Rufus). Guests who reside in bacovavacationrentals.com are welcome to walk the 2 mile & 4 mile Barn Hill Trails and also to enjoy the private access to The Jackson River, Hal’s Point.
