This was the perfect spot for our quick 2 nighter in Harrisonburg. We needed a place to crash for our son’s collegiate golf tourney. Glad we stayed here! Super clean, smelled great. Kitchen equipped with everyday essentials. Very comfy mattresses & pillows! Cozy living room for working and for Monday night football. Location excellent - enjoyed the short walk downtown for burgers & beers! Definitely recommend.

Want to stay here again!

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with my partner for the week leading up to our wedding. The living room was great for hanging out in, the bed was comfortable, and the location was even more convenient than I had realized!

Easy Check In. Everything as described! Awesome space, every room big and accommodating. Did not lack for anything in kitchen. Location can not be beat!!! Walked for coffee every morning, then lunch, dinner, and shopping. We have two students at JMU, visiting for last four years, beats all hotel stays!

Amazing couch! Great local and comfy!

Met all our needs as a family of 4 with room for friends to stop by. Great local to walk to dinner and shops. Exceeded our expectations! The full kitchen and openness gave us room to spread out.

Beautiful property, welcoming hosts

We are a bit of a tough family to host since we have young children, and they were more than accommodating! The walkability of the space was lovely. They have a very well thought out property that is well-kept and nicely furnished. Thanks for a great stay!
