Cedar Nook is a charming farm cottage with panoramic mountain views. Observe cattle on pasture, watch crop harvest in season, or just relax inside or on the porch. A grove of cedar trees give privacy from the nearby road, but you can hear traffic - especially the farm trucks and tractors as they go by. The cottage is 6 miles from Interstate 81, and 5 miles from Bridgewater, a college town featuring many services and supplies plus fine parks. Wide doorways and a ramp from the parking area to the porch make the downstairs wheelchair friendly. The first floor is approved as a residence and the upstairs is approved by zoning regulations for storage. .

I had the most wonderful stay at this cottage! It was serene, spotless, and perfectly done in every way. Every detail was thoughtful and made the space feel warm, welcoming, and peaceful. Truly one of the best stays I’ve ever had—I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and grateful. Highly recommend!
A great location for sightseeing Stauton and Harrisburg area. Convienent to hiking in The George Washington & Jefferson National Forest. The cottage is well stocked and the host was very friendly and accommodating. We greatly enjoyed our four days
Our family enjoyed our stay. We were in town for our daughter’s graduation at jmu. We are a wheelchair using family and the property is perfect for us.
great place, great location, great views, great hosts...would recommend. Looking forward to returning!

10/10 amazing property to stay at! Ferne and family went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was hassle free having everything available and ready for us to use when we got there. They even offered to start a fire for us while we were out getting dinner. It was extremely windy but the thought was incredibly nice. The vibe was loving and warm and I cannot wait to book another stay at this cottage again!!
We had a lovely one-night stay at the cottage. Short drive to JMU and so relaxing. Spent time swinging on the porch with a cup of coffee while enjoying the farm and mountain view’s. Ferne is a wonderful host. She stocked the fridge with breakfast so we could eat and get to the ceremony on time.
This cute little cottage has just about everything you need for a warm, countryside visit. It’s very close to both Harrisonburg and Staunton. Even with my tall stature of 6’6” I was comfortable in this cottage. The family hosting the property is very warm and inviting while also being non invasive of your space and privacy, I would definitely stay here again!
Clean, well appointed home. Perfect location, wonderful hosts. Will be staying again!!

Too many extra amenities to list in a short review, outstanding hospitality with some of the greatest sunrises we have ever witnessed! Huge thanks to Ferne and David for sharing their slice of heaven with us!!!
We had a lovely and peaceful stay at the Cedar Nook cottage, while we prepared and raced in the Shenandoah 100k mountain bike race. Ferne was great and all of the amenities provided were appreciated and enjoyed! The place was clean and extremely quiet and restful!
My husband and I did a solo trip to visit an area we have been wanting to see for a long time, the Shenandoah Valley. Ferne and her family went above and beyond to welcome us and to assist in any way possible to make our visit even more special.This has been by far our best experience yet with a rental and will highly recommend the home to others. It was easy to find, comfortable, had beautiful views, quiet, and had everything we needed. The location was also an excellent choice, with major interstates close by and a large variety of towns and attractions nearby to make a full day trip without being exhausting. On our last two nights we even got to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks from the valley while sitting on the front porch!We are already looking forward to our next visit.
We had an amazing weekend at this cottage! The owner was friendly, the land beautiful, the atmosphere relaxing. The cottage was well stocked, the fire pit was lovely, and it felt like home. It was everything we were looking for!
The property couldn’t be quainter and the view could not have been better. We had the best stay. Thank you so much Ferne! Also, loved the snacks and smore supplies made available to us:).
This is a lovely property in a pretty rural area. From the front porch you can watch the sun rise over the mountains. The cabin is comfortable and well-appointed and the hosts are super. I'll stay here again.
This cottage is simply charming, as are the owners. We had a most delightful experience, peaceful, quiet, and beautiful views. The host did an extraordinary job to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Thanks bunches.
This property truly exceeded our expectations for a stay! Our host was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and went above and beyond being helpful! She truly went the extra mile, including bringing us fresh baked cookies and chopping extra wood so we could have fresh firewood after a rain! We could not recommend this place more!!
Wonderful place to stay…wish our visit was longer!
Owners stock everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Beds are very comfortable and bath even has a shower chair if you need it. My favorite part was the porch swing that overlooks a picturesque dairy farm. Quaint and relaxing accommodations.
We stayed for the night so that we could enjoy parents weekend with our daughter in college. The cottage was perfect and Wheelchair acdessible for my husband.
We thoroughly enjoyed the most welcoming, cozy and clean cottage! Ferne & David provide everything you could need and then some!
The cottage is on a hill overlooking the most wonderful scenic country view!
Look forward to staying again!
This cottage had beautiful views all around us of the mountains as we set nestled in the valley. The host was extremely hospitable and provided so many things above and beyond for our pleasure during our stay. We enjoyed a nice fire with provided hot dogs and smores, plus corn hole to play. The cottage was clean and perfect space for us to relax. It was also within a close distance of many places to visit and explore!
It all starts with our host, Ferne. A lovely lady who meets you at the door with a smile and a welcome. This is such a cute little nook that had beautiful views. Ferne makes sure you have everything you need. We would definitely stay here again!
