About this property

Black Walnut Cottage: A Romantic Couple's Cabin!

New Construction! MOUNTAIN VIEWS from this cabin (and from the hot tub) are so peaceful and STUNNING! Romantic and luxurious custom-built cabin in the perfect location. Perfect for couples wanting a private, romantic getaway that is super close to Shenandoah Natl Park/Skyline Drive, Luray Caverns, unique shops & markets, restaurants, horseback riding, fishing, golf, wineries & breweries, Shenandoah River, Lake Arrowhead, and the slopes of Massanutten Resort.

Managed by the owners and not a property manager (so you get personalized attention), the Black Walnut Cottage is an impeccably clean, beautifully decorated property that magically blends upscale cottage and cabin styles.  All pine interior construction and mountain views out every window, this property offers a full kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, cozy living room with fireplace and soaring cathedral ceiling, bedroom with luxe Egyptian cotton linens, and a spa-style bathroom with marble topped vanity, freestanding Jacuzzi brand soaking tub, and a full shower. Enjoy the outdoors on the rear patio with your own private hot tub under the stars, Weber propane grill, and a firepit with seating or on the covered (mountain facing) front porch furnished with authentic log furniture. Property offers WiFi and all the amenities you could need for a relaxing getaway. Guests only need to bring their clothes, toiletries & groceries as your Hosts have provided everything else. Come relax and enjoy the mountains!

Guests have full access to entire home including front deck, rear patio, and outdoor acreage. Magnificent mountain views from the front of the property.

The Black Walnut Cottage is located on Roundhead Mountain, easily accessed from a paved rural road and paved lane, 5 minutes to grocery/coffee/restaurants. It is privately situated on its own acreage, easily accessed by any vehicle, 4WD not necessary during normal weather conditions.

Overall it was a nice stay. The host was easy to communicate with and the cabin was clean. Probably should be prepared there is no bathroom door if you’re a shy pooper.I do not feel like the listing was accurate- it lists several times how quiet and peaceful the home is… When compared to the dozens of VRBOs in the area, I would not agree. The pictures on the listing have been cropped to give the appearance the cabin is more private than it is. It is actually in a setup similar to a small campground, and not “private”. Perhaps that is not a deal breaker to everyone and it really is not to us every time. However, for this trip we were really going for a private cabin in the woods vibe and based on the description we thought it was. For us, this was not it.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2026
For our future guests - this guest desired a very remote, isolated cabin and made a mistake in booking ours. Please see the aerial photos and video which provide an honest understanding of the location. It is not remote or isolated as this guest hoped and it is not a campground as this guest stated - it is a property that is very private and peaceful but does have other cabins on adjacent acreage (you’ll see them in the photos). Let us know if you have any questions! Oh - and the bathroom is down a hallway with no sight lines to any other room!

Luxury in the wilderness

My husband and I booked a four-day trip to this lovely cabin and definitely wished we had planned for a longer stay! It was beautifully appointed, impeccably clean, and had all the amenities right down to measuring spoons for the morning coffee. The views were incredible and the area was so peaceful and quiet, yet a short drive away to basically anything you might want to do or need to buy! This home was everything the description promised and more.
