Peaceful cozy cottage

Cute cottage with great view of small pond and tons of wildlife (turtles, birds, raccoon, deer, etc.). Loved having choice between wood fire pit and 2 gas fire places. Water pressure was amazing! Kitchen was tiny but well equipped.

Peaceful & Private

Given how hectic life can be, it's nice to find a place like this that is so peaceful and private. House was clean and well supplied with everything we needed. Communication with Owner ahead of our visit was prompt and thorough. We loved the pond, waterfall and being close to the river. We paddled with kayaks on the river and went hiking in nearby Shenandoah National Park. Overall, an excellent place to stay!

Private Perfect Cabin!

The location and privacy were the primary reasons why we chose this cabin. It’s located on a beautiful piece of land, near a river. The cabin was so cozy and comfortable. We even had a Christmas tree that was lit up to welcome us! We felt comfortable with letting our dogs explore, knowing that the property was large and secluded enough as to not disturb anyone. Our group included myself, my spouse, and our 2 teens. The WiFi was secure and fast, which was a must for our teens. The cabin was clean and tidy, with plenty of towels and extra bedding. Another plus: plenty of pillows! The kitchen was well-equipped with a Keurig coffee machine and Keurig cups. Washer and dryer are in the cabin. A couple of kayaks are available for use and we had fun with them on the private pond. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked clean and was ready for use. There is a firepit and wood was available. Everything we needed was ready and available! The host, Grace, was responsive and so friendly and gracious. This was a perfect getaway to end 2024 and begin the new year. We will definitely plan another trip soon to this cabin. Can’t recommend it enough!

Tranquility

A beautiful spot, senic, peaceful, and quite. The back roads on the way there after the main road ends definitely required 4 wheel drive but the drive was totally worth it. The hot tub is perfection and the sitting spot at the top of the hill has an amazing view of the property.

Perfect anniversary weekend nook with our dogs, unforgettable! It was a little noisy with lawn mowing and gunfire all day Saturday in the background, but we didn't mind and appreciated the woods for what they are worth, just relating our experience...wouldn't have changed a thing! thanks, Fosmires

Enjoyed a very relaxing romantic getaway. Had breakfast on the porch while a family of deer visited the pond. Read a good book listening to the sounds of the waterfall. Drinks in the hot tub under the stars!! Doesn’t get much better than that!!

Cottage Get Away

This cottage was everything we needed for a weekend get away. From the initial booking and check-in process to departure, Grace made the entire process and experience easy. The cottage itself was very clean, peaceful, and relaxing. The openness of the land made it safe and fun for our dogs to roam. It's proximity to various lakes, hiking trails, and local wineries made our entire stay a pleasant experience. We will definitely be back in the future and look forward to staying at another one of Grace's properties!

We love the Pond Cottage

Just a 2-hour drive for us from Annapolis, this has been a repeat Fall getaway place for us for 3 years now (and we hope to come back again next year). For a tiny house, it has everything you need. And to wake up in the morning and just sit with a cup of coffee overlooking the pond is super peaceful. And is close to downtown Front Royal, breweries, wineries, Skyline Dr, hiking, etc. The owners are super communicative and helpful. The cottage was clean and well-kept. Each year we enjoy seeing what else they have added or upgraded. Hope to be back next year.

My wife and I were celebrating a quiet weekend away after our wedding, or a “mini-moon” as I’m told it’s called! This place had everything we needed to cook up some great food and relax! The area with adirondack chairs overlooking the property was the perfect spot to enjoy some coffee and read in the morning. When in Front Royal, check out Vibrissa Brewing - so good!

Top Notch Getaway

Everything about our stay was perfect. House and water were excellent for the two of us and our dogs. Swimming and kayaking was where we spent most of our days. Deer, fox and eagle watching in the mornings was great to take in. Evening fires in the hot tub, with the waterfall in the background, was our nightly unwind. We’ll definitely look forward to future visits. Thank you again to the hosts for delivering a fantastic location!

Nice place. Sleeping arrangement a little weird for us. Lots of wildlife birds, frogs, turtles, foxes, squirrels, deer and turkeys. We his red cardinal come to have coffee with us every morning. The frogs at night are extremely loud but very soothing sitting outside with a fire going and hotdogs cooking. House has everything and is very well kept. The hosts were very quick answering questions. Good place.
