About this property
Charming cottage retreat by Shenandoah National Park and Madison Run Trailhead
Madison Run Cottage is the perfect getaway located in a gorgeous and private mountain setting. Guests will enjoy total peace sitting on the deck while listening to the creek surrounded by the 20 acres of forest adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful views are present from every direction and plenty of parking is available on the large property. The front porch is the perfect place to start each day enjoying a cup of coffee before heading out on one of the endless outdoor opportunities.
You will be in the family room when you enter the cottage, it has 2 comfortable chairs and a sofa to relax, play games, or watch tv. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, etc. to make delicious meals. The kitchen closet is where you will find the new washer and dryer. Right off the kitchen is another cozy sitting area and a stove to stay warm on chilly nights. The 1st bedroom has a king bed, dresser, 2 night stands, and closet. The 2nd bedroom is large with a queen bed and a chair to relax, 2 nightstands, cabinet and closet. The 3rd bedroom is small with a twin bed, chair, and closet. The bathroom has a tub/shower combo.
Madison Run Cottage is walking distance to trails in the Shenandoah National Park, 30 mins from Skyline Drive, 20 mins to both Massanutten Resort and James Madison University, and 5 mins from Grand Caverns Park. This is a perfect retreat to relax and enjoy the outdoors, while not being more than 15-20 minutes from the University town of Harrisonburg full of shops and restaurants.
Wonderful hiking is just 1 mile away on Madison Run Trailhead in Shenandoah National Park. Visitors can either drive or walk to the trailhead. To get to the Madison Run Trailhead, you would turn left out of the driveway and then take another left when the road forks. The trail begins at the end of that road. You can just stay on the old fire road, which is so nice or take a small trail up the mountain.
