Living space
Single‑level living and a private entrance mean no stairs to navigate. The main living area is designed for gathering, with abundant natural light, comfortable seating, and a TV for relaxed evenings of streaming. Wi‑Fi is available, though service can occasionally be slower or spotty due to the remote mountain location. Central heating and air conditioning keep the interior comfortable year‑round.

The kitchen is fully equipped for home‑cooked meals, from hearty breakfasts to cozy dinners. All essential cookware, dishes, and utensils are provided, allowing you to enjoy meals together without leaving the property. A dining table nearby makes it easy to share food and conversation.
Outdoor living
Even in winter, the outdoor spaces invite you to step outside. The hot tub is a year‑round favorite, perfect for soaking under the open sky after a chilly day. A backyard and deck provide room to spread out, while a fire pit offers a warm spot to gather in the evenings. A grill is available for outdoor cooking when the weather permits.
Family & pet friendly
Children’s books, toys, and dinnerware are provided, making the cottage welcoming for families. Dogs are welcome, and the spacious yard gives them room to play. Cats are not allowed due to allergies.
Practical comforts
A washer and dryer, bathroom essentials, and a bathtub make longer stays easy. Free parking on the premises, a lockbox for self check‑in, and a quiet, private entrance add flexibility and ease to your arrival.

The Shenandoah River is a short walk away, offering scenic views in every season.
