A great place to stay near Shenandoah

This is an adorable house very close to Shenandoah National Park. It was well stocked, and we enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit and watching the stars. We like this house so much we've stayed here twice, and would definitely come back!

The cottage was located on a farm with cows and donkeys grazing in the background. It was very clean and well stocked, the host thought of everything you could need. Even left us a yummy spice cake from a local bakery. Great location close to hiking, Shenandoah National Park and entrance to Skyline Drive.

The house literally had everything you could ever need to be comfortable which never ever happens for us at rentals. The kitchen was very well equipped and the house was super cozy. Close to everything while still being in the country. Literally no complaints, highly recommend.

The Coziest Little House

Might just be the coziest place I’ve ever stayed in. It’s fairly isolated and quiet but also fairly close and conveniently located about 10 minutes away from Massanutten Resort. The owner was also very friendly and helpful. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Lovely farm visit

We greatly enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and comfortable. Susan thoughtfully left tasty treats for us. We especially liked the fire pit and being able to see the farm animals in the field behind the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Mini break

We only had three days to pack in as much outside time as we could, and this lovely house was a perfect base. It was an easy drive to Shenandoah National Park, Harrisonburg and Grand Caverns. We cooked for ourselves and the kitchen had everything we needed. We grilled outside and had a lovely fire in the fire pit. Everything was wonderful!

beautiful country home

the house was great and in the perfect area for us to visit family and friends. The only issue is that the beds are too high. I am short and have both knees and both hips replaced. Had to sleep on the couch! Maybe advertise the beds are for tall healthy people! But LOVED it anyway!

A friend and I stayed at this fine cottage over the weekend. We came to do some astrophotography at Big Meadows and didn’t feel like camping with our photography gear. So we stayed at this Cottage. Beds where comfortable, there was bottles of water in frig for us, kuerig coffee , and a box of chocolate chip cookies for us to eat. It was a very clean place easy to relax in. I could tell the details matter to this host. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends looking for a place close to skyline dr or Massanutten. A place !

What a beautiful little home! We were pleasantly surprised to find so many extras: shampoo, soap, coffee pods, creamers, yummy cookies and muffins, wood for a campfire with helpful marshmallow roasting sticks...the list goes on and on! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and look forward to staying again.

Fabulous Country Retreat!

We three friends planned a crafting retreat midway between our homes and this wonderful home was just the ticket. It was exactly what we needed! The home was in meticulous condition, and our host wrote a lovely welcome note and provided a much appreciated box of cookies. Thank you so very much, Susan!!

So much better than the photos!

This adorable little house was absolutely amazing. So comfortable and Susan even had all the fall décor out. The home was stocked as if someone lives there. There were all the things you could need AND then some. She left a little candy bowl on the table and a lovely bread for our breakfast with coffee. The beds were all very comfortable and the bedrooms were so cute! I cant say enough about how great this house was! And as if the amazing accommodations were not enough, let me tell you about those views. We stayed on the weekend of 10/25 which is a perfect time to come watch the leaves change. Absolutely stunning views! In the end we got a visit from Susan to make sure we enjoyed our stay and she was just as pleasant as I would have expected her. Cant wait to come back again!
