Sweet Escape Cottage - Hosted by Cozy in Canvas

Located just 6 miles from Harrisonburg, VA, this charming, circa 1875 summertime kitchen has been converted into a tiny house. Just minutes from JMU, EMU, and downtown Harrisonburg. The first floor features original low-beamed ceiling, kitchen, dining area, and bathroom. The second floor has cathedral ceiling, queen bed, sitting area, and private deck. The surrounding area is popular with cyclists and lovers of the outdoors. An eclectic mix of old and new makes this a delightful "sweet escape."

Listen to the birds sing and see the horse and buggy’s drive by as you relax at the Sweet Escape Cottage. The cottage is in the backyard of a residence in the countryside of the Shenandoah Valley. There is outdoor seating in the front of the cottage as well as a private deck off of the upstairs bedroom/sitting room. Equipped with a grill, this cottage offers the perfect escape while still being close to attractions. The cottage has a queen-sized bed, daybed couch, full bathroom, and full kitchen.

JMU Homecoming Weekend

My husband and I stayed here for JMU Homecoming Weekend. It was the perfect distance from campus, as we wanted to be away from the “hustle and bustle” but still close enough to drive over for the weekend events. The house was super cute and very clean, on a quiet street in the country. The check in/check out processes were easy and the host provided clear directions. We enjoyed visiting the farm store owned by the host as well. We will definitely be back!

JMU Parents Weekend Visit

We stayed at this sweet, charming, rustic cottage instead of the crowded hotels in Harrisonburg for JMU's Parent's Weekend. It's only a 20 minute drive to JMU and was perfect for what we needed. Owner communication was great, check in was easy, it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Wow!

Just wow, I loved this place! It was in a great location, I felt very safe as I was just traveling with my dog. Our favorite spot on the property was the upstairs balcony, we went out there for an hour every morning and a little at night, my dog laid down while I read a book. Everything that was in this tiny house made sense and fit perfectly in the space while still feeling spacious and easy to move around. The owner was very nice and easy to get in contact with, also their shop was cute! The point of my trip was to go to Shenandoah National Park, and this spot was an hour away from both entrances, just a heads up. The Christmas lights throughout were a perfect touch and beautifully lit up the place. Overall couldn’t have loved this spot more!!
