Beautiful home with beautiful views. The home was spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect get way.Home was very clean and they left farm fresh eggs for us to enjoy.Highly recommend!
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.
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.
The property is exactly as advertised. We found it to be clean, quiet and well stocked. We enjoyed visiting some wineries during the day and a quiet evening at the cottage at night. We would definitely stay here again.
This cottage has beautiful views in every direction! The house had everything we needed and more. Most delightful is the sunroom.......we spent PLENTY of time there. It is a quiet, peaceful destination. Great hiking nearby and so much history. Enjoyed everything, highly recommend.
Cottage was very clean and comfortable. Hosts were accommodating by providing basic spices, coffee and eggs in the kitchen. Plenty of towels and lots of space in the house to spread out. Loved seeing the cows in the pastures. Had a wonderful stay at this property,
We had a delightful time in this cozy and comfortable cottage home. It was very room, with all the different living areas to enjoy. The mountain views surrounding the property are amazing. The small town of Standardsville was delightful. Everyone was so kind. Our meal at the Lafayette Inn was wonderful. We are already talking about our next stay.
This home was exactly as described and more. The owners take excellent care and provides excellent service. It's conveniently located, yet secluded with mountainess views. They provided fresh eggs, and yes they were awesome. We will stay again. Thanks for a great experience.
Located in a very peaceful and quiet setting which made it the perfect place to unwind and relax!! Home and property were just as described. Host awesome. Responded to any questions quickly. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and property. Would definitely stay here again!!
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!
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.
Gorgeous and comfortable! We would love to rent again!
The house is very clean, comfortable, and well decorated. We were all very impressed when we walked in! It is located on the owner's farm with breathtaking views from every window. The owner was easy to communicate with, and even left us some welcome gifts in the fridge (including eggs fresh from the farm!). The house had everything that we needed, including spices for cooking, everything to make a good cup of coffee, and even travel size shampoo, conditioner, and soaps in the bathrooms. And the towels in the bathroom were SO soft! We had a great weekend and would happily rent again!
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.
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.
