The Gingerbread House: 4BR cottage w/ modern amenities, sunroom/deck, sleeps 12

This property had one problem after another. The first, there was no electricity in the kitchen. The microwave didn't work, the coffee machine didn't work. When I reached out to the management company, they told me that I would have to go around back into a crawlspace and attempt to flip the circuit switch. The worst part of our stay was on the last day, when we found bedbugs. After many phone calls and hours on the phone to VRBO, Expedia and the management company, they wanted to issue me a pitiful refund for the weekend, I had to reverse the charge through my credit card agency. The place was overall dirty-cobwebs in the lights fixtures, dated, bedbugs, and toilets that gurgled in the sink when you flushed them. I would not recommend this place at all. I did reached out to the the management company before writing this review because I wanted to offer them the opportunity to clean up their property and rent it again, but they were not sympathetic at all. I do not believe they have taken the proper steps to get rid of the bedbugs or have any intention of doing so by the way they dismissed my complaint.

The house overall was good. The upkeep could have been a lot better. There are a few boards on the floor that are coming up. There is a brick that is loose in the family room. In the hallway bathroom, the rack on the wall is broken(a screw is missing) It did feel like the house(inside and outside) was not professionally cleaned in awhile. We came across a few spider webs and spiders in a few corners of the house. We couldn't really enjoy the outside scenery because there were spider webs everywhere(on the grill, chairs, on the house, etc...) I know there is nothing that could be done with the inside stairs but it would have been nice to know that they were steep. We had 4 little ones with us(two 4yr olds, a 3yr and a 2yr old) the main kids room is upstairs. So we did spend a little time making sure they didn't fall coming down the stairs. The washer and dryer did not work properly. The inside of the dryer is broken and couldn't dry our clothes. Lastly, it says it was 2 pullout queen beds and a Fulton that's a queen. We only saw 1 pullout and the Fulton. If the upkeep was a lot better, it could have been a 5 star.

Our family of 5 stayed at the Gingerbread Cottage for 3 nights to celebrate our daughter's college graduation from JMU. The location was ideal as it was not far from Harrisonburg and close to restaurants. We had fun at Cave Hill Brewery, which was close and had great meals at Thunderbird Cafe (breakfast) and Hank's (great bbq dinner). We highly recommend staying at this property and would return if in the area again.

We had a great time at the gingerbread house. The house has all the kitchen utensils you need and some welcoming extras. The cabin location is close enough to restaurants, grocery stores and wineries but far enough from the main road. You can’t go wrong with the gingerbread house.

Loved this cute little cabin! Nice location. Super nice hosts!

Enjoyed the gingerbread stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this cute, little cabin. We were right on the resort property within a minute or two from the slopes/tubing/waterpark, etc. Our only complaint would be the accessibility to the pullout beds. I would confirm with the owner the sleeper sofa has been fixed or replaced and the futon (to my family) was too small to sleep our size children. The futon would most definitely fit toddler size. Just confirm if you have multiple people to sleep. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. Also, within 10 mins to the grocery store. Very convenient location.

We had a great time here. Master bedroom is great and has a good mattress. Back deck is peaceful. Several Roku TVs around the house. And various games for the kids were found in the loft which was a nice touch.

We had a fantastic stay at the Gingerbread House! It was perfect for our family. The place was incredibly clean, which made us feel comfortable and at home. The kids loved the variety of games available, keeping them entertained. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend it for families looking for a cozy and fun getaway.

Wonderful, quiet location. Close to everything! We had an amazing time!

My family and I stayed at The Gingerbread House for my brothers graduation from JMU. House is exactly as pictured and described. It’s a perfect and cozy home for family. There were two living areas we could spread out and a perfect little dining room for family meals. The hosts had these cute little bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash set up and plenty of linens. Really lovely stay.
