About this property
The All-American Cottage Seconds from Gypsy Hill Park! Kid and Pet friendly!
Situated only STEPS from Gypsy Hill Park in Historic Downtown Staunton, the "All-American Cottage" is ready for you to come relax, let the babies get energy out, and rock away on the front porch. Newly renovated! You will want to soak up family time with nostalgic s'mores, bike rides, playing in the park: making memories! Only a minutes drive to downtown shops, theatre, and eating. 40 mins to Wintergreen and Charlottesville/30 mins to Harrisonburg and vineyards on Route 151/40 mins to Lexington. Welcome to the All-American Cottage, a circa 1902 restored home in historic Staunton, VA. We welcome you with a rocking chair front porch, a coded lockbox with deadbolt front door for easy access and secure locking, and a welcome red front door. As you enter the living room, we offer comfy leather furniture for hanging out with family, a plush rug, a 42 inch tv with Roku for simple streaming, board games, and don't forget to check out our custom Guidebook with recommendations for your stay with all the happenings. All of the art and decor throughout the home are custom and special vintage maps, flags, and all the nostalgic feels that make you want to be a kid again. In the front bedroom off of the living room, there is a queen sized bed with hotel quality bedding and fluffy duvet cover for chilly nights, and black-out shades in every bedroom for some deep sleep! Also in this front bedroom is a full sized antique wardrobe, bedside table with lamp, a closet with coat hangers (we also keep the provided Pack and Play in here!), an iron, and ironing board. Also, a 32 inch tv is in this room with Roku remote for easy streaming. Can you see the entrance to Gypsy Hill Park from the window? Off of the living room is a HUGE dining room with an antique table and chairs enough for 6 guests. Don't forget to use your Americana antique napkins for a special dinner! Next up is the bright white kitchen with granite countertops and open shelving, stainless steel appliances, pots and pans, cooking utensils and silverware, a baking sheet, Tupperware, a fire extinguisher, olive oil, salt and pepper, a Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, French press, glassware including coffee mugs, cups, and wine glasses (perfect for Yelping Dog wine!), tea bags, a toaster, a microwave, and refrigerator. With every booking, we provide a tray of grab and go goodies for when you first arrive with Pike Place Keurig cups, creamers, nuts, and Kind bars for each guest, popcorn, and trail mix. Also included for use are antique picnic baskets on top of the fridge to fill up and take to the park on the provided bikes for an unforgettable date! Off of the kitchen is the other main floor bedroom, bathroom, and BUNK ROOM! The bunk room is equipped with two twin beds bunk style and hotel quality bedding, a side cupboard FULL of games, a basket of balls and outdoor equipment and even a bug catcher for lightning bugs, and bedside table with lamp. In the hallway between the bunk room and back bedroom is the bright full bathroom with bathtub including handrails for safe entry and exit, extra toilet paper, first aid kit, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash is provided in the shower. 2 towels per guest will already be provided on each bed, black makeup washcloths, normal hand towels, and a blow dryer will also be available. The back bedroom is our favorite with the most stunning vintage flag hanging proudly on the wall, queen bed with hotel quality bedding and a fluffy duvet, a bedside table with lamp, a 32 inch wall-mounted tv with Roku for easy streaming, and an antique dresser. Off of the kitchen is the laundry room for guest use. We provide you with dryer sheets and a few Tide pods for a quick load of laundry of dirty clothes from a day of extra fun at the park. Also in this room is where we store the cornhole boards and American style bags that you are welcome to use. There is an exterior door there to the back patio, grill, bikes (2 provided), outdoor eating bistro table. Our yard is pretty big with plenty of room for the babies to run. At the top of the hill is a patio space with umbrella (with views of the park!) for late dinner and wine partaking! Enjoy! We also have provided 6 adirondack chairs and a fire pit next to the house for perfect s'more evenings or roasting a hot dog.
We can't wait for you to soak in every minute of rest and relax, and create memories that your kids will never forget.
