About this property
Cozy Cottage w Hot Tub, Fire Pit, WiFi & Sunroom!
Summary:
Welcome to Sweet Pea Cottage, hosted by Blue Maple!
Sweet Pea Cottage is a cozy retreat nestled in the Shenandoah Valley mountains, with everything you need for your getaway.
The standouts:
- Relax in the outdoor hot tub!
- Grill on the deck and enjoy your meal at the picnic table
- Relax around the fire pit roasting s'mores
- Sit back and enjoy morning coffee in the sun room
- Drive 15 minutes into downtown Front Royal for great restaurants
The Space:
Sweet Pea Cottage is perfect for families, a couple’s retreat, or a small group of friends.
The cottage includes:
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- Two bedrooms to comfortably sleep four - 1 with queen bed, 1 with set of bunks
- Large loft area for hanging out
- Sunroom with huge windows looking directly into the woods
- Small deck with propane grill
- Fire pit and picnic table in the yard
- Fast Wi-Fi (100 Mbps)
- Smart TV
Please note:
We have an indoor fireplace, but unfortunately it's not usable and is only decorative.
The previous owners smoked, and there's a very slight smoke smell in the house. Most guests don't notice, but if you're very sensitive to it this may not be the place for you.
Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!
We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly! Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).
Beyond the cottage, we love how close to everything we are. Looking for good restaurants or shopping? Drive 15 minutes down the mountain into Front Royal. Breweries or wineries? There are a dozen within 30 minutes (our favorites are Backroom Brewery and Naked Mountain Winery).
And of course tons of great hiking in Shenandoah National Park -- also only about 15 minutes away!

About the host
Hosted by Tony Cappaert
I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.
Why they chose this property
We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Sweet Pea Cottage in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cottage is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
