About this property
Respite from Reality
Come join for a respite from reality. Your stay includes a warm and welcoming one-bedroom cottage with a queen-size bed and a dresser and closet for your clothes. There is also a king size bed in the family room downstairs. You also can enjoy your own full-service kitchen. If you are concerned about traveling during the pandemic, our cleaning staff have been COVID19 certified and we fog the house between each guest visit with disinfectant that is recommended by the CDC to kill coronaviruses. You can rest comfortably knowing you are free from the virus while at the Cottage! You can order pre-prepared items from our breakfast menu and they will be delivered to the Cottage.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cheryl Johnson
Meet Mike and Cheryl. We have lived in many places in our life and have traveled a bit (pre-covid). We live on the property and would love to share our cottage with you. At times we have family come to visit and stay with us in the 'big house' (as our grandson calls it). We love to visit with guests, but you are welcome to enjoy your own space. We want to respect your style.
Why they chose this property
The Cottage is conveniently located at the base of the Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are lots of hiking trails and many outdoor activities available. There are several historical sites in the area if you like to explore American history. We have a tablet with virtual tours of many historical sites. These include the ones close to us but also the ones that may not be close by our Cottage. We know the area pretty well and can share what we know or you can explore on your own.
What makes this property unique
We are also happy to make advanced reservations for you at local area attractions if you would like.
Please make sure to check the Welcome Guide once you book the property so you can find it. It can be tricky and there are detailed instructions in the guide. Cell phone reception can be spotty in our area.
