About this property

On farm cottage with mountain views.

Cedar Nook is a charming farm cottage with panoramic mountain views. Observe cattle on pasture, watch crop harvest in season, or just relax inside or on the porch. A grove of cedar trees give privacy from the nearby road, but you can hear traffic - especially the farm trucks and tractors as they go by. The cottage is 6 miles from Interstate 81, and 5 miles from Bridgewater, a college town featuring many services and supplies plus fine parks.
Wide doorways and a ramp from the parking area to the porch make the downstairs wheelchair friendly. The first floor is approved as a residence and the upstairs is approved by zoning regulations for storage.

JMU Graduation Stay

We had a lovely one-night stay at the cottage. Short drive to JMU and so relaxing. Spent time swinging on the porch with a cup of coffee while enjoying the farm and mountain view’s. Ferne is a wonderful host. She stocked the fridge with breakfast so we could eat and get to the ceremony on time.

Amazing Little Cottage

This cute little cottage has just about everything you need for a warm, countryside visit. It’s very close to both Harrisonburg and Staunton. Even with my tall stature of 6’6” I was comfortable in this cottage. The family hosting the property is very warm and inviting while also being non invasive of your space and privacy, I would definitely stay here again!

Exceeded expectations!

This property truly exceeded our expectations for a stay! Our host was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and went above and beyond being helpful! She truly went the extra mile, including bringing us fresh baked cookies and chopping extra wood so we could have fresh firewood after a rain! We could not recommend this place more!!

Wonderful place to stay…wish our visit was longer!

Owners stock everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Beds are very comfortable and bath even has a shower chair if you need it. My favorite part was the porch swing that overlooks a picturesque dairy farm. Quaint and relaxing accommodations.

Lovely farm setting cottage with warm hospitality

This cottage had beautiful views all around us of the mountains as we set nestled in the valley. The host was extremely hospitable and provided so many things above and beyond for our pleasure during our stay. We enjoyed a nice fire with provided hot dogs and smores, plus corn hole to play. The cottage was clean and perfect space for us to relax. It was also within a close distance of many places to visit and explore!

Excellent stay all around.

This was an excellent stay all around. The location was beautiful, the lodging was very comfortable, and the hosts were lovely. The one thing that stood out most to me is how very thoughtful the hosts have been in setting up the cottage - with plenty of minute details throughout the house that really add charm and warmth to the place. It feels that the hosts take real pride in this and it really shows. Frankly - this was one of the best places I have stayed in a very long time. Hopefully we will do it again soon!

Beautiful Location!

This was a fly fishing fishing birthday trip for my hubby and everything was great! The cottage location is pretty central to lots of things to do! It was very quiet and peaceful. This has nothing to do with the property but it is significant enough to mention. The area is packed full of poultry farms and when driving anywhere in the area, there is the worst smell you will ever smell in your life! Turn on the recirculate button for the air in your car and it helps tremendously. Ferne went above and beyond with birthday flowers and balloons. There was fresh eggs in the refrigerator and lots of snacks and other breakfast food. It was the perfect couples retreat!

Holiday Getaway

This beautiful cottage is built in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay here. This cottage had all the room we needed for our family and met all of our needs and then some. David and Ferne were very gracious hosts. Ferne made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the Thanksgiving weekend. Already missing the the great view of the stars and the mountain views.
