Here’s how to park behind the house at Coal Stove Sink. When you drive across the bridge over Wheat Spring Branch, go left at the fork in the driveway. Then turn off into the yard as shown. Go right past the baby sycamore tree, up the hill, and follow the gravel to the barn. Park there.

—-[canned directions]—-

Our place is on the Shenandoah river at 754 Castleman Road, Berryville, VA 22611 around 60 miles from Washington (NOTE that some GPS systems have the house in the wrong location.)

Directions: From DC, get on the Dulles Toll Road (267 West). Then Take the Dulles Greenway Toll road (267) to Leesburg. Get on Route 7 West bypass and go past Leesburg, past Purcellville, and over the Blue Ridge mountain (20 miles). Just after you cross the Shenandoah river on the big bridge, take the first right on route 603 (castleman road).

Castleman winds down by the river. When the road veers back away from the river to the left, our house is the first on the right.
