Our home is special to us and we hope it will be to you as well. We are located on Swift Run, which is a stocked trout stream- you will need a Virginia fishing license and trout stamp. Outside we have a patio to enjoy sitting and relaxing listening to the river and grilling out along with 2 wood fire pits. Inside you can hear the river from both bedrooms.

Kitchen towels, dish washing detergent, trash bags, hand soap and a dishwasher are provided for your use. Bathroom towels and wash cloths are also provided with bedroom linens. We have satellite TV and a DVD player along with CenturyLink internet for your convenience. There are 2 outside fire pits, we try to keep wood there, but it's not always guaranteed.

Other things to note
We are 12 miles from the entrance to skyline drive and with in 30 miles to UVA. Conveniently located!
Overall great property- easy to get to with offline maps and very close to the places we wanted to see. The outside grill was easy to use and was lovely staying by the creek. the firepit was also easy to use too. Inside, the place felt very clean. In the kitchen, there even is an electric indoor grill if you do not want to cook outside. Temperature was comfortable. The only issue is when we checked some of the blankets, there was still some fur on it (from my guess, previous guests) so we did not use those blankets.
This cottage was as cute as can be with every amenity for comfort, the yard is serene and has a picturesque stream which can be heard from the house. Easy drive to hiking and skyline drive.
Very well maintained and stocked little getaway, we packed all kinds of kitchen stuff did not need any of it this place had it all we were able to cook and enjoy out the thanksgiving in the mountains, call me when you’re ready to sell this beautiful property!
We arrived at 230 pm. Had sent a message 3 hours before we got there. I was having a hard time finding the address. She responded quickly. Then she said if i have any more questions just let her. So i said yes how do we get in the house. I heard nothing we got to the house there is no cell reception. We looked everywhere and i had checked all over the verbo site for check in. I couldn't find anything. We kept going back in town to check messages and use the restroom. Nothing. Finally i called verbo hoping they could help. They tried reaching her for i know 30 min. After dealing with them for a while we told them we wanted th cancel. Tbry offered to book a hotel room but we knew a place a little bit away to go to. It was very difficult to gey them to cancel our booking. Finally they said the house owner has to agree to cancel. She did, amd she was very nice. Im not sure what eent wrong with check in and i wish she would have just responded we really wanted to stay there. But I am thankful we got our money back and still had a wonderful get away regardless of the frustration. We likely will never use VERBO again i think it must be for computer savy people.
Our family had the best time at this cabin. We had a few days off from school and wanted to enjoy the great weather and do some hiking. The house was bigger than I expected, great location, and very clean. Bonus was being able to bring our dogs. We are hoping to come back again in the spring and do some more trails nearby. Def check out the Glasshouse winery if you visit and Preddy Creek Trail.
The cottage was perfect and our host thought of everything! From toiletries to the very well stocked kitchen, this home had everything we could have asked for. We wish the creek had a little more water for fishing, but we still threw a line in anyway! It was the perfect little staycation for me and my wife.
The house was cute and loved the area! Wish we were able to stay longer!
lovely home right next to Swift Run, private, clean perfect for our 1 night stay.
A beautiful and quiet home that made a perfect base camp for hiking Shenandoah! Dana was an excellent host and really went the extra mile as a property owner. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
