Our stay at the cottage was perfect. Easy to access, beautiful river view. We had to contact the owner and the response was very quick. Would definitely stay again.
Our stay was short but the house was exactly as stated. House was very clean, beautiful view of the river and host was very friendly and helpful. We were in town for graduation and moving our daughter out of her apartment, so we had a small trailer. PLENTY of parking and a large yard at the back of the house. I would definitely recommend this place to others!
The house is great. The location is very quiet, and the river running behind the house was a lot of fun for the boys to fish in. Exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this location.
The cottage is exactly as advertised, but the outdoor area is even prettier than in the photos. The covered patio is perfect for hanging out, and the river is beautiful. A bald eagle flew right by us! The nearby parks are great if you like to walk.
Great location to Bridgewater College. Was perfect for a few days there for graduation. Close to all the local Bridgewater restaurants. Would be a great option for parent weekend or Homecoming.
This cottage was the perfect place for us! It's in a very quiet neighborhood near a park that has a trail by the river and plenty of picnic tables. There is a grocery store nearby, good restaurants and just about anything else you would need. The house was spotless and we arrived to find snacks, and milk, eggs and butter already in the fridge. We highly recommend!
We were in town for baseball tournament. The house was the perfect location. We had everything we needed with plenty of space. The yard was perfect for kids to play and have a cookout. The neighborhood was fantastic also with walk to park for my youngest child to play on playground. The boys swam in the river. Would stay here again.
Lovely home on the river. The outdoor porch is a wonderful place for early morning coffee or an evening dinner. Two small parks are within walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet. You do not have to go up any stairs to enter the property or while you are on the property. The fire pit looked amazing, but we did not light a fire due to the current drought conditions and high winds. Close to many attractions in the valley and minutes from Harrisonburg and JMU and EMU.
A cozy home in a quaint neighborhood near the river and park. It perfectly suited our needs.

About the host
Hosted by Sereda
I'm local to the area and have been hosting short term rentals for 3 years. I enjoy providing 5 star accommodations and exceeding guest expectations of their typical weekend getaway at a short term rental. My goal is to provide an extra cozy stay that you will want to return to over and over.
Why they chose this property
Bridgewater is such a cute and friendly little town. There is so much to do and so many lovely parks. Perfect place for a family or couple to spend the week.
What makes this property unique
The Wednesday Cottage is unique because of its outdoor space. So close to restaurants and shops and you still get to sit by the river and enjoy the outdoors.
