What a great property! Beautifully furnished and convenient to all things Sperryville! We sipped our coffee on the deck overlooking the creek. Such a pretty spot. We also enjoyed having Before and After Coffee shop next door and being able to walk to dinner and the beer garden down the street. Would highly recommend!

Great location for a getaway, would definitely look to stay here again. Super clear instructions from the host, as well as flexibility to allow us to park a little before check in. Gorgeously renovated historic building with all amenities one could need for a trip to the area. Ideal for visiting Skyline Drive, Copper Fox, Little Washington and many local wineries.

Cute place with a great location. The private deck next to the creek (called a river but really more like a creek) is great for relaxing with a glass of wine.

The check in process was simply quick, the host provided us the directions and codes and we completed our stay. Amenities and cleanliness of the cottage was 10/10, AC and hot water was functioning properly considering the temperature outside was cold, we really needed those working well. Recommend for those looking for accommodations nearby Old Rag Mt /Shenandoah.

The River Cottage was PERFECT for our fall getaway. We stayed for almost a week and loved our time in historic Sperryville. We were able to walk to the coffee shop (literally next door) and market, along with restaurants and shops. Be sure to check when they're open if you're visiting outside of tourist season! The property was clean and well maintained and very comfortable. Check-in and out were easy. Highly recommend!

Great cottage in a great location

This is a perfect place to stay to be right in historic Sperryville— next door to a great coffee shop and walking distance to multiple options for dinner or drinks. Cottage is compact but very comfortable. Nice outdoor space— shaded table with a ceiling fan and then beyond that (which isn’t quite clear from the pictures) is the deck overlooking the stream. Host very responsive.
