    Everything was as advertised and we felt very much at home in the house. We wanted for nothing. The host was very considerate in the accessories and supplies in the house.

    We loved our stay in this beautiful location. Lots of space with incredible views including deer! Loved the coffee bar, extra amenities and the fresh eggs! Everything was super clean. Wonderful location between UVA and Shenandoah National Park. Would definitely stay again.

    You cant beat the views and the peace and serenity of the property. Just what I needed to get away from the city!

    The home is beautiful and much bigger on the inside than the pictures showed. 3 of us stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and basically used half the house because it's so spacious. The views are very pretty. We were on motorcycles for the weekend and came up the first, unpaved service entrance as that is where the GPS told us to turn. If you are on motorcycles, DO NOT go up this entrance! Go to the entrance with the long driveway that has a fence on both sides as it is fully paved all the way up to the house and is maybe 100 yards away from the other. You can't miss it. I believe the owners live somewhere on the property but there are a few houses up in there so I'm not sure where, but they give you complete privacy so don't let that deter you from staying. Really the only downside to this location was being on motorcycles and coming back after a long day of riding and having no restaurants around who deliver LOL There are restaurants and fast food maybe 15 minutes from the house though but this is definitely a place where you want to stock up and cook there if you're not eating out. The kitchen is big and beautiful and there is a grill/smoker outside. The bed in the master wasn't the most comfortable but it wasn't bad. Water pressure in the shower was great! I would definitely stay here again! Oh and if you're on motorcycles wanting to ride the Skyline Drive, this house is centrally located and only about 15-20 minutes from the middle entrance.

    The cottage is sprawling with 3 spacious sitting areas, two with great views of the mountains and the ponds on the property. We were a party of 5 adults and it was more than enough room for us. The hosts supplied paper goods, sheets, towels and coffee fixings. It is 10 minutes away from the Barn at Edgewood where we attended a beautiful wedding. There are antique stores and wineries nearby. The hosts checked in with us during our stay. We highly recommend renting this cottage!

    The location beautiful, quiet and serene. The house is much larger and roomier than it looks from outside. Everything was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. We will definitely want to come back. The only tip I will give is to not come up the service road entrance to the house because it is rough if you are not driving a truck. Go to the next driveway and go up that driveway instead. It is part of the owners property and a much better driveway.

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I would definitely do it. The cottage is all you can dream of. Better in real than on the photos. I wish we would have stayed much longer (4 nights) as it was such a beautiful and relaxing cottage. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the sun room. The location is great, just a short 15-20 min drive to Shenandoah National Park. The cottage has everything you need and more. And finally, the host Judy has been so accommodating. A big thank you to such a great host. Definitely the place to stay when visiting this part of VA.

    Not a lot of communication leading up to the stay, but the place was nice and we enjoyed our time! Got some fantastic steaks from the farm as well!
