Cozy Farm Retreat
This property is perfect for anyone looking to escape to the mountains. It is in the middle of a tiny, cute town near the Blue Ridge Mountains and close to Old Rag trailhead. The home is well equipped to host a family of four or small group of friends, has a living room where everyone can gather and a small fire pit outside. Bedding was quite comfortable; I’d book again in a heartbeat.

Weekend Friend Fun
Had a fun weekend stay with a trip to Shenandoah National Park for a hike and blackberry ice cream pie, visited a ciders in Sperryville, and enjoyed the Possom Store and Art Print shopping near the listing. Would love to come back when the weather is warmer and float or swim in the river. Farm fresh eggs left by super responsive host were great!

Cozy country retreat
We spent a weekend hiking in Shenandoah NP. This was a perfect location to access the park. The house was clean and comfortable with all amenities included. The hosts were very sweet to leave fresh chicken eggs on our arrival and were very helpful to assist in anything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Two "older ladies"
Main concerns for older visitors, the bathtub has no grab bars. My friend who is almost 80, fell while trying to get into the tub. She stepped in with one leg and she slipped, didn't have anything to grab onto and fell backwards out of the tub and hit the vanity. We went to the ER and thankfully nothing was broken but her back is very painful. This happened on our last full day there. The other recommendation is to put some plywood under the mattress on the bottom bunk bed for some support. We really did enjoy the area, so much beautiful nature.

Wonderful Shenandoah trip!
We loved staying in this adorable cottage for a mini Shenandoah National Park vacation. The location was perfect as it was close to lots of great hiking. The cottage was a perfect place to relax after hiking all day and had everything we needed. We loved the back deck, the grill, and the fire pit. The Robinson River was close by and my husband and son enjoyed swimming in it. Thanks for a perfect trip!
