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.

10/10 amazing property to stay at! Ferne and family went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was hassle free having everything available and ready for us to use when we got there. They even offered to start a fire for us while we were out getting dinner. It was extremely windy but the thought was incredibly nice. The vibe was loving and warm and I cannot wait to book another stay at this cottage again!!

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!

A lovely week exploring the Shenandoah Valley!

My husband and I did a solo trip to visit an area we have been wanting to see for a long time, the Shenandoah Valley. Ferne and her family went above and beyond to welcome us and to assist in any way possible to make our visit even more special.This has been by far our best experience yet with a rental and will highly recommend the home to others. It was easy to find, comfortable, had beautiful views, quiet, and had everything we needed. The location was also an excellent choice, with major interstates close by and a large variety of towns and attractions nearby to make a full day trip without being exhausting. On our last two nights we even got to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks from the valley while sitting on the front porch!We are already looking forward to our next visit.
A beautiful sunset to enjoy!

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!

Christmas "Home away from Home"

The property is exactly as described; beautiful, comfortable, quaint and truly a "home away from home". The cottage is exceptionally outfitted with everything you need. And items you may have forgotten to bring. Lol. Cleanliness and organization is phenomenal. The hosts are well intuned to travelers needs. This is the best VRBO we've booked, and will revisit. An extra plus is the quiet of the community with an opportunity to view the mountains and Harrisonburg city lights on the horizon. There are opportunities to sleep up to 8 people as there is a murphy bed and a sleep sofa downstairs and 2 twins and a queen upstairs. These choices are well suited to young adults and/or children.

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!!

A little peace of heaven

For us it was a nice, relaxing getaway from the daily hustle and bustle of city life. The charming cottage offered us a peaceful retreat with stunning views. Our host Fern was an angel, she answered our every queries promptly, she greeted us in person despite arriving late at night, checked back with us the following day!! The refrigerator and pantry were fully stocked, and the place was so thoughtfully and tastefully furnished. We'll definitely be back!!
