LeFay Cottage at Little Washington, Virginia, is a quintessential boutique cottage, wedding venue and lavender farm, set on five idyllic acres at trhe foot of the Blue Ridge Mounains, offering an enchanted world to IMAGINE, BELIEVE and DREAM.

If you are looking to bring the natural, simple beauty of the outdoors to your special day in a magical way with a cozy garden party theme, beautiful floral decor and installations, then you have found the right place! LeFay Cottage is unique, and we LOVE to share that Middleburg Life named us "The quintessential cottage-core and faeriecore wedding venue". We also most recently have had the opportunity to be featured on the cover of Virginia Bride Magazine in the 2022 Fall edition, featuring our Hawks & Owls that can be a part of your special day, as well as Washingtonian Bridal Magazine, Forbes & Southern Living.

The cottage, located approximately 90 minutes from Washington, DC, offers an ideal rural escape near the historic village of Washington, Virginia. The three bedroom, two bathroom property is located on five acres overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cottage itself is adorned with French and English antique furniture and decor. With so much natural beauty and history surrounding LeFay Cottage, the venue provides everything you need for a cottage-core themed wedding, space for a wedding party to prepare, and the bride and groom to stay.

There are three outdoor areas for couples to marry: The Secret Forest, The Love Lavender Field and the View of Old Rag Mountain, each with its own cottage-core, natural splendor. “The Love Lavender field in particular lends itself beautifully to a cottage-core themed wedding amidst the purple hues and fragrant wafts of lavender. The lavender is in full bloom at the end of June and early July - a perfect, natural wedding for a couple that enjoys the path less-traveled.”

Speaking of those who enjoy the path less-traveled, LeFay Cottage has plenty of activities for the outdoor-adventurers, both off the beaten path of the Rappahanock backroads, and those looking for a more touristy experience in nearby Shenandoah Valley. Hiking, biking, rock climbing - you name the outdoor activity - and you’ll likely find it here. For those looking to explore the historic village of Washington, LeFay Cottage is only two miles away from the famous 3-star Michelin restaurant, The Inn at Little Washington, as well as other fine and casual dining restaurants, award-winning wineries, and distilleries, to name a few.

LeFay Cottage offers a variety of packages for brides with outdoor ceremonies that include “gorgeous chiavari chairs with cream cushions, and an ornate secret garden canopy, as well as a cream French Provincial couch, coffee tables, and French chairs for guests to feel as though the cottage has been extended onto the land as part of the rental of the coverage. If you enjoy a FANTASY wedding, and enjoy Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit, don't gorget to ask us about our residing Dragon that can be included in your package. If a Fairytale or an enchanting wedding is more your style, we have a beautiful Cinderella Carriage with horses that will provide you a MAGICAL entrance!

An oasis of armour, for your storybook wedding, retreat to our wondrous worlld of relaxed, yet elegant simplicity. Channel your inner peacefulness in the pastoral setting, whether meandering in the foothills of the Shenandoah skyline or finding your true bliss under our painterly skies.
