About this property

Secluded, Cozy Cottage in the Shenandoah Valley

Escape to our comfortable and well appointed cottage in the mountains. This one bedroom one bath with additional loft is the perfect retreat. The spacious deck is ideal for sipping coffee in the morning, reading and napping in the afternoon and star gazing at night. The property sits on over 90 acres to explore and a hot tub to soak in after. There are beautiful hiking trails a few steps from the cottage and the famous Skyline Drive is just a 20 minute drive away. There are several beautiful wineries a few miles from the cottage. Enjoy the evenings by the fire pit (we have wood available for you). We also have a wood burning fire place for chilly nights and a gas grill for your convenience.
The cottage has free wifi (Starlink!) and a smart TV.
There are 2 towns close by for provisioning, shopping and meals out.
We have a generator that will automatically turn on and power the entire cottage in case there is a power outage.
Peace and quiet with all the comforts of home. Like us, you won’t want to leave.

Please be aware that we do have a security camera located on the upper deck that is pointed at the driveway and one at the entry door.

Wonderful stay! Very cozy weekend for two. We hiked, went to a winery and out to eat, and did a lot of relaxing at the cottage! Enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace. The house was very well appointed, meticulously clean and comfortable. We’d love to return!

Very nice quiet cabin in the Shenandoah valley. Perfect location while we were in town for a wedding. The cabin --could-- sleep 4, but be advised the upper bedroom is accessed only w a steep, long ladder. It's not a good sleeping place if you're bringing children. But for the two of us it was perfect.
Difficult to access loft
Easy to find but secluded
Nice areas outside

A real cute place with a cozy layout and amazing bathroom and shower. It was just secluded enough but not overly challenging to get to. The upper porch was great for hanging out and watching the pair of hummingbirds that seem to have made the area home. The bed was comfortable but also a little squeaky and noisy. We really enjoyed our stay and it was just the relaxing getaway we needed.

Everything at this lovely place of peace and serenity was pure perfection. The owners are amazing and went over and beyond to make the stay exceptional. The hot tub was heaven, pure heaven! The cottage is fully stocked, modern, clean, and just the perfect space to decompress, unwind, and reset. Thank you to the owners for sharing your beautiful property, it was just a what we needed to break away from the hustle and bustle and stressors of life! Thank you! Perfect five star stay!!!

Anniversary weekend

This property is amazing, the pictures don’t do the house justice. It’s the perfect size for a couples getaway, far enough away from the main house that you don’t see anyone else, and close to plenty of wineries and other area attractions. The wife and I would definitely love to stay here in again in the future.

Place was very clean and comfortable. Hot tub was fantastic. Location was great, very peaceful/secluded but close enough to Shenandoah for hiking and there are nearby towns for dining. Host/check in both perfect. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Gust

Host profile image
My husband, Don, and I have been hiking our property on the mountain for years, dreaming of one day building our retirement home. We built the cottage to have a place to come and stay until that time. We had the idea that this would be a lovely place to go for anyone wanting a little R and R. We hope you will love it as much as we do!
