Cute place with a great location. The private deck next to the creek (called a river but really more like a creek) is great for relaxing with a glass of wine.

The check in process was simply quick, the host provided us the directions and codes and we completed our stay. Amenities and cleanliness of the cottage was 10/10, AC and hot water was functioning properly considering the temperature outside was cold, we really needed those working well. Recommend for those looking for accommodations nearby Old Rag Mt /Shenandoah.

The River Cottage was PERFECT for our fall getaway. We stayed for almost a week and loved our time in historic Sperryville. We were able to walk to the coffee shop (literally next door) and market, along with restaurants and shops. Be sure to check when they're open if you're visiting outside of tourist season! The property was clean and well maintained and very comfortable. Check-in and out were easy. Highly recommend!

Exceptional & Outstanding

In every regard, and by any measure, our stay in the River Cottage was pleasant and full of comfort. The close proximity of this property's location to both rural paradise and urban life is enviable. We hope to return to discover more nearby towns and forest paths.

Great cottage in a great location

This is a perfect place to stay to be right in historic Sperryville— next door to a great coffee shop and walking distance to multiple options for dinner or drinks. Cottage is compact but very comfortable. Nice outdoor space— shaded table with a ceiling fan and then beyond that (which isn’t quite clear from the pictures) is the deck overlooking the stream. Host very responsive.

Fantastic Time!

We enjoyed our stay in Sperryville very much! The house is adorable, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location of the house could not be better! We walked everywhere and enjoyed time at Bar Francis, The Corner Store, The Black Twig, and Before and After Coffee. Additionally, the house is a 5 minutes drive to a park entrance where we enjoyed an amazing hike to Mary's Rock in Shenandoah. Amazing place, amazing time!

Beautiful Property

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Sperryville. This property is located within walking distance (2 min) to markets and restaurants and was about a 9 minute drive to The Inn at Little Washington. Skip the cottages at Little Washington and stay here for your next visit.
