Enjoyed being able to walk out the back door and follow the mountain ridge line behind the cottage, the blooming dogwoods was gorgeous. The cottage was very clean and the owners very gracious.
The property was very clean and the owner is very responsive. It has a very nice river front area that you can access that is great for a picnic or just to relax. Would definitely stay here again.
Steve and Tina were great, the property was great, the experience was great! If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax and get away from life for a while, this is it. On the north fork of the Shenandoah river, the fishing was good and the scenery can’t be beat. There’s even a good place by the river to set up camp if you want a more outdoorsy experience.

Casey, it was a pleasure to host you all. You guys were so conscientious, upbeat, and very neat. So glad the fishing was good. Thanks, and hope you can visit again!
We stayed at this cozy place while our son took part in the 160th Battle at Cedar Creek. It was about 12 miles from the battlefield and very close to all towns around. The house was extremely nice. And the view by the river was breathtaking. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
The place was clean, and Steve was a good host/responsive communicator. The river access was a very nice area to relax and/or hike. Our stay was in the midst of fall colors and the view was beautiful. I can imagine the joy here in summertime, enjoying a splash and paddle. The reasons for 3/5 ratings are: 1) The water at the cottage is very stinky. Steve told us about this at check in (you can smell the odor when you enter, but it's much, much worse when you actually turn on the water), and there is a drought in the area. I realize this is outside of the owner's control, nonetheless it made the stay much less comfortable. We didn't want to drink the water or shower in it. 2) The 'couch' is VERY uncomfortable; almost zero cushioning. An upgrade is necessary! 3) The kitchen has a coffee maker, filters, and a small amount of coffee, but ZERO sugar/sweeteners. Sugar is cheap; supply your guests with this to improve their stay!! Otherwise, the kitchen was well stocked. 4) I get that you want your guests to bring their own linens & towels, but the checkout list is a bit too much. Requiring your guests to clean sinks and toilets is just wrong in my opinion. If you're reading this, don't let this feedback stop you from staying here, simply be prepared for these detractors.
