The Space:

The crisp mountain air greets you as you step onto the porch, and steam curls from the hot tub while the sky deepens into a blanket of stars. Inside, warm light filters through the sunroom’s large windows, framing the quiet woods that surround the cottage. A soft hush settles over the valley, inviting you to unwind and let the pace of the Shenandoah linger.



Sleeping arrangements

Two bedrooms comfortably sleep four guests. The master bedroom holds a queen bed, and the second bedroom offers a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows and blankets are provided for chilly evenings. A spacious loft adds a cozy nook for reading or gathering, though it is intended for lounging rather than sleeping.



Living spaces

Radiant heating keeps the interior snug throughout the colder months. A Smart TV and fast WiFi are ready for streaming or work, and a dedicated workspace with a door offers privacy for any tasks. The sunroom, framed by wooded views, is perfect for sipping coffee while watching snowfall drift through the trees. An indoor fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used.



Kitchen & dining

The full kitchen is equipped for preparing hearty breakfasts or relaxed dinners after a day of exploring. A dining area seats everyone together, making shared meals feel natural and unhurried.



Outdoor living

The hot tub is available year‑round, offering a soothing soak against the cool air. A private backyard includes a fire pit, BBQ grill and picnic table, giving you several options for outdoor enjoyment when the weather cooperates. Lake access is just a short walk away, with a path and dock that bring the water’s calm to your stay. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised.



Location & surroundings

A 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal, where restaurants, shops and local favorites await. Shenandoah National Park is also about 15 minutes away, offering winter hikes and scenic drives. Nearby breweries and wineries provide relaxed outings throughout the year.



Pet‑friendly details

Dogs are welcome and the cottage is pet‑friendly; however, cats are not allowed due to allergies. The indoor fireplace is decorative, and a very slight smoke scent may be noticeable for those who are highly sensitive. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs and walkways before each arrival, but natural leaves and pollen may still appear, especially in certain seasons.



Perfect for

Families, couples seeking a peaceful retreat, or friends looking for a quiet base near nature will find Sweet Pea Cottage a welcoming haven. Self check‑in, free on‑site parking and a private entrance keep your stay easy and flexible from arrival to departure.
