The space

Since it was the original wash house it sets near our Victorian home and has been renovated into a quaint and cozy cottage. Ground level entrance and a first floor bedroom and bathroom make this a handicap friendly space.

Our family enjoyed the charming house over thanksgiving break. All the expected amenities and much more! Our kids (4 and 2) loved all the indoor and outdoor toys too. Thank you for your hospitality!
All was great with our stay. Hosts provided some nice extras like snacks and coffee. Would definitely return!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating both prearrival and once we arrived on property. The house shares the property with the owners who live on site in an adjacent house with their lovely children. There is ample parking. They do have three large dogs which are very friendly. Inside the house, it is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, both with comfortable beds. There is a half bathroom upstairs which was very nice and allowed those upstairs to use the facilities without coming downstairs. The kitchen was well-equipped, with plenty of staples in the refrigerator and pantry. They also had a free snack area with assorted chips and candy which was very nice. The property is in a quiet semi-rural area, but within 10 minutes to the downtown area of Harrisonburg. If you are visiting JMU, this place is perfect. It's also not far from Staunton and Massanutten Resort. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate staying here in the future if our travels bring us to the area.
My sister and I had a wonderful stay at this property. We were completely impressed by how clean and welcoming this place was. Trisha and Derrick went over and above by adding many wonderful suprises for us.
Dropping our daughter at JMU, The Washhouse was a great alternative to overpriced H'burg hotels. The kitchen was the best stocked I've ever seen from other rentals. Fresh flowers and a welcome sign were a great addition. BEST: 2 BD, 2 Bath, 3 mastiffs! What was missing: no wifi (ok we used our mobile hotspots when needed). Also was unsure of checkout procedures, if any. Will definitely stay here again during JMU visits!
Simply put—-the best hospitality we’ve ever experienced. From the custom scrabble welcome to the snacks and refreshment offered for our enjoyment. Everything that would make you feel at home was thought of. The host was was gracious and accommodating.
Clean and comfortable. Host provides snacks and a warm welcome from 3 friendly dogs.
The property was clean, smelled amazing, and the beds were comfy, but I do recommend bringing your favorite pillows. (comfy beds is something we’ve struggled to find on these type of rental sites, so this was a big deal). The owners were quick to respond, and kind. Their dogs were well behaved and very sweet. They even had a birthday balloon and cookies for my wife since we were there celebrating her birthday!! We would definitely stay there again if we come back to the area.
Highly recommend this property! The hosts offer gracious and generous hospitality. The separate guest house includes a full kitchen, complimentary coffee and tea, and feels like home. The location is close to area attractions with the tranquility of a rural farmette.
