Mint Cottage

Mint Cottage Newly renovated 1400 sf home with luxurious appointments, spacious living area & breathtaking views

Twenty years ago, John and Diane MacPherson left their corporate jobs in southern California to start a career in hospitality in Rappahannock County and have never looked back. They had been married less than a year at the time, but quickly discovered they were happiest – and at their best -- when working together. They ran The Foster Harris House (just up the street from the Mint Cottage) for 13

years, published a cookbook, and ran local cycling tours. After that, they transformed a neglected building in Sperryville into the award-winning Three Blacksmiths restaurant. When they had an opportunity to buy an unloved, vacant building in Little Washington, they couldn’t pass up the chance to conceptualize and create their idea of the perfect guest accommodation, the Mint Cottage.
