About this property

Escape to our comfortable and well appointed cottage in the mountains. This one bedroom one bath with additional loft is the perfect retreat. The spacious deck is ideal for sipping coffee in the morning, reading and napping in the afternoon and star gazing at night. The property sits on over 90 acres to explore and a hot tub to soak in after. There are beautiful hiking trails a few steps from the cottage and the famous Skyline Drive is just a 20 minute drive away. There are several beautiful wineries a few miles from the cottage. Enjoy the evenings by the fire pit (we have wood available for you). We also have a wood burning fire place for chilly nights and a gas grill for your convenience.
The cottage has free wifi (Starlink!) and a smart TV.
There are 2 towns close by for provisioning, shopping and meals out.
We have a generator that will automatically turn on and power the entire cottage in case there is a power outage.
Peace and quiet with all the comforts of home. Like us, you won’t want to leave.

Please be aware that we do have a security camera located on the upper deck that is pointed at the driveway and one at the entry door.

Excellent

Stayed here for a weekend for a mini honeymoon/wife’s birthday. The cabin had everything we needed and more. We stay at a lot of cabins around shenendoah valley and this one was definitely high on the list of quality. Very clean and cozy. We took a hike, enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub, grilled, and relaxed on the upper deck. All the appliances worked and shower was great. Our only issue was the bed was very noisy and sounded like it could use some attention or an upgrade, there was a good amount of japanese lady bugs and stinkbugs, but this is pretty standard for any cabin I’ve ever been to and almost impossible to prevent entirely, especially this time of year, it’s just part of mountain life and they keep to themselves. Other than these small issues, no complaints. We had a very relaxing and peaceful weekend and maybe next time we will come up to enjoy the cabin in the fall. Would definitely recommend for a couples getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Gust

My husband, Don, and I have been hiking our property on the mountain for years, dreaming of one day building our retirement home. We built the cottage to have a place to come and stay until that time. We had the idea that this would be a lovely place to go for anyone wanting a little R and R. We hope you will love it as much as we do!
