White Oak Canyon Cottage is a cozy cottage nestled in a beautiful valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Robinson River and Cedar Run. It is located adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park and is literally steps from the White Oak Canyon Hiking Trail and Cedar Run Hiking Trail lower trailheads. These trails offer some of the best waterfall hiking trails in the Shenandoah National Park. White Oak Canyon Cottage is also located about .8 miles to the Old Rag Mountain hiking trail parking lot.

This area abounds with nature and wildlife including Virginia White Tailed deer, black bears, gray squirrels, mountain trout, and many birds. White Oak Canyon Cottage is perfect for a family retreat with nature, a quiet romantic getaway, or a weekend of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park.

We're located just off Virginia's Route 231, one of America's ten most outstanding scenic byways, perfect for biking. Enjoy the hiking, wildlife, fishing for trout in a nearby stocked pond, wineries, antique shops, Luray Caverns, Monticello - Thomas Jefferson's home, Montpelier - James Madison's home, or just sit back and enjoy the scenery. And don't forget your camera!

We were there the first week of May. We really liked the location. It is just a few yards from the White Oak trail and then there's another trail further up the road. Weather was perfect. There is no cell phone service which did not bother us at all. But it is a long way (30-45 min.) from towns, grocery stores, etc. Bring bug spray!!!!!! The gnats are big and hungry and they will constantly swarm you if you don't use bug spray. We had such a great time hiking and sightseeing that we are going back next year, just in a different location. Virginia is a beautiful state with lots to offer. The only concerns we had as far as the cottage is concerned: the bed sags in the middle, the toilet moves, and the AC unit is too small to cool the whole cabin in a reasonable time; it took several hours before the bedroom was cooled where we could sleep comfortably. We learned to leave it on while we were out in order to get it cooled down enough. And it was clean but needs a spring cleaning (under and behind the furniture). We enjoyed our stay though.

Great location for hikers

Our family of four had a really nice two night stay at this cabin. Everything was just as described in the listing. We walked to the White Oak Canyon and Cedar Run trails and were a very short drive from a much larger network of fire road trails. Fishing along the trails was fun, and there is also a stocked pond within a couple of miles if you want to make sure your kids catch something. There’s a country store just a few miles up the road if you forgot anything. Big yard for kids to run around, nice fire ring and picnic table. It was great! Not fancy or luxurious or large, but clean, comfortable and very convenient location.

No complaints.
