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.

We definitely enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and thoughtfully furnished. The beds were very comfortable and it was the perfect size for the 6 of us. The park is practically across the street and there is little to no road noise. There are enough pots, pans, and flatware to be able to eat in. If eating out, there are tons of restaurants within 5-10 minutes driving. Definitely hope to be back!

Perfect Spot!

We loved our stay in this adorable cottage. It was very clean, comfortably furnished, had everything we needed and was in a great location. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch each morning looking towards to park. We would definitely stay there again!

Quiet and relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay at this adorable cottage. Pros are: proximity to the park, the porch, windows that open and have screens, the host’s responsiveness and cleanliness of house. It was also relatively quiet even though it is so close to park entrance. Cons: it would be even better with a dishwasher and a trundle bed instead of the bunk beds. Overall, we felt really comfortable here and would definitely stay here again!

Perfect placement

This little home is next to the nicest park. Plenty of parking at the house that is close to the house. Plenty of plates and dishes for 4-5 people, small bedrooms as older homes have (good sized kitchen and dining room though) for us it worked perfectly. BBQ out back easy to access and use, large grass yard to play in. 2 bikes out back for guest use. Washer and dryer worked good.

Little city and mountain living

We had a wonderful time in Staunton with thanks to our stay at the All American cottage. The proximity to the park was perfect for our two little ones and very relaxing to stroll over there after our morning coffee on the porch. We also could walk downtown to shops and restaurants. We tried almost all the recommended restaurants and shops and enjoyed them all. We also checked out the Wilson Museum, Frontier Museum and Brewing Tree as well as Blue Mountain Brewery up in Afton. Gorgeous scenery. Great getaway for hiking in the area (Bells Lane was a good nature walk with no elevation but also up in the Shenandoah National Park).

Wonderful Stay at a Cozy Cottage!

My mother and I had a delightful weekend stay at this charming cottage while attending my daughter's baby shower. The cottage was everything we needed-clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It was a one-level home with a front entrance ramp which made it especially convenient for my elderly mother to navigate. We felt right at home in the peaceful atmosphere. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet, cozy place to stay in the area!

Christmas Getaway in Staunton

We really enjoyed our trip to Staunton Virginia. The house was conveniently located near the attractions we wanted to see and we really enjoyed being so close to Gypsy Hill Park with their Christmas decorations. The house gave us plenty of room for our family and the owners allowed our dog to come with us. We highly recommend Staunton which had the Woodrow Wilson Home and Museum, the Frontier Museum, and the Shakespeare Theater. The town is also very close to Shenandoah National Park.

Perfect place while visiting

We 3 sisters had a wonderful time visiting Staunton. Downtown was a short drive away, with lots of shops & restaurants, & a Mexican restaurant is right around the corner. The park & town are lovely. The house is homey, comfortable & clean with everything we needed! Samantha & Jonathan were extremely hospitable and welcoming.i would recommend this “home away from home”!

Great little house

House was clean and stocked with many conveniences such as coffee and tea, laundry items, clothes iron, etc. Kitchen and dining room were both larger than I was expecting cleaner than many other places we’ve stayed. Was easily able to walk to the nearby park playground with a small child. The porch was nice and the house was bright. Convenient location for getting around. Very “homey” and quaint!
