Wonderful Cottage in the Woods
We had the pleasure of staying in the cottage the first weekend in October while we were part of the Graves Mountain Apple Festival. The cottage was situated on a lovely property surrounded by trees. Every amenity was well thought out - from toiletry items, plenty of paper products and towels, coffee and tea, even breakfast!! It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and if we had time, there were games to be enjoyed. Cozy and quiet, it was the perfect place for us to rest after long days. We were thankful to have great lodging nearby and would love to return!

Weekend getaway
Our stay was perfect. It was a great location to graves mountain lodge. The cabin had a very homey feel to it, and had everything we could possibly need. Owners were very accommodating!

Quiet and Quaint Cottage, perfect for Old Rag hikers
Tons of extra amenities including coffee. Located really close to Blue Quartz winery in case you want an afternoon or evening glass. Also perfect driving distance for if you want a hike to Lower Oak White Falls or Old Rag! I had a wonderful stay!
Side note: Do not trust google maps, you’re looking for the waypoint “Horse Dreams Come True” - the route almost lead me to the adjacent property. Also I recommend bringing a flashlight or headlamp if you arrive in the dark.

Clean, quiet, comfortable home in the hills of Va
Overall everything was very comfortable, comfy, and to our hopes/expectations. The only downside was on on the part of VRBO's booking system, as the dates appeared to be available and the prices were different than what we were charged. Luckily, Cheryl was more than accommodating and patient with the discrepancies, and I hope VRBO rectifies the discrepancies. She was a lovely host.

Wonderful
The cabin was amazing, close to the National park for hiking and climbing and Cheryl and her husband were lovely and helpful hosts. As noted previously there’s little to no cell service and the internet can be touchy, but other than that the bed was comfy, the kitchen WELL stocked with all the little things you might need as well as and array of cooking/kitchen items. There’s not much by way of food/restaurants in the area that are open later than 7p… i mostly ate what I had there, but if you’re an earlier eater there’s a town about 12 mins away with options. Definitely would stay again!

Cottage in the foothills, Thoughtfully Equipped
NO problems whatsoever finding the cottage; GoogleMaps brought us straight to the property. Spouse and I (plus small-ish hound dog) enjoyed a perfect getaway in this clean, pleasant, pet-friendly country cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. We have never stayed in a better-equipped vacation rental home. Hosts Mike and Cheryl go above and beyond to make sure you don't have to bring your own (insert whatever you thought a vacation rental home would lack here). Nice sheets/pillows/blankets? On nice mattresses? Check. Abundant good towels, including kitchen hand towels? Check. Memory foam dog bed? Yup. Clothes-washing detergent and dryer sheets in the laundry room? Check. Cheryl placed spices in the cabinets, including flour and powdered sugar. Wine glasses and two mini bottles of wine, thoughtful and generous. We ordered cereal and juice in advance at no extra cost; another thoughtful touch. Appreciated the Britta-filtered pitcher of water in the fridge, alongside jam, honey, ketchup and mustard. The Kuerig has a complete assortment of coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Internet that works, two decent-sized flat screens w/Roku, and a very comfortable sofa sectional for downtime. The A/C is quiet, efficient, icy cold, and easily adjusted – darn nice during August! There are even a small pair of binoculars on a shelf in case you forgot yours. Wildlife watching is excellent; we heard owls and woodpeckers in the trees, saw deer and a flock of wild turkeys. This property is so quiet that, sitting outside at dusk, we could hear bats chirping and squeaking overhead as they emerged from the nearby hills. Magical.

Nice but had some address issue
The property was nice but we had difficult time finding it as the address was wrong on VRBO and there was no phone signal in the neighborhood to call the owner.
We thought the breakfasts was hot served but its all frozen food so you have to cook it by yourself. I am not a big fan of frozen food.
Overall the property was nice and quiet.

Well-stocked home
This home was filled with tons of kitchen items, towels, games, blankets, etc. Owners were responsive and friendly. Special considerations were made for our pets. I would definitely rent again next time I'm in the area.

Escape from suburban life
Good little spot out of the business of the city. Kids loved seeing some deer in the woods and the beanbags were a big hit for both kids and dog. Thanks Cheryl!

Peaceful place to stay!
I stayed with a dear friend this weekend. We wanted to spend time hiking and checking out Shenandoah NP. We also were close enough to visit the White Oak Lavender Farm about an hour away and thoroughly enjoyed it.
At the Cottage, we met the host who was gracious and accommodating. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed the grill and picnic table as well as beanbag chairs in the upstairs family room. The kitchen was well appointed and we really enjoyed the breakfast choices.
Highly recommend for a place to use as home base for SNP, local wineries/breweries and a relaxing place to rest.

Great Family Getaway
This was a great family getaway for us. We had a great time in this cozy cottage. The home was clean and we had access to everything we needed. Internet was spotty but if you need to disconnect and be present with your family, this is a great place to go. We will definitely be coming back.

Great cabin in the woods for family hiking and biking getaway. Breakfast included. Amazing hosts.
We had an amazing, very active and at the same time very relaxing 3 day family getaway in this cozy, very clean and very well equipped 2 story cabin in the woods.
Perfect size for a family of 4.
The owners go far and beyond to make you feel welcomed and truly taken care off. They were very sweet to accommodate our very specific check-in and check-out requests. The owners left us a beautiful Easter Lily live flower arrangement on the kitchen table and a box of local hand made chocolates as a welcome Easter gift. The property was spotless clean and the owners left us light everywhere for our late night check in.
We had a choice of large variety of breakfast items that was included with our stay that were brought to the cabin for us. If you want to cook your own meals the kitchen is equipped gas stove and a microwave. There was a pitcher with fresh filtered water in the fridge. Kitchen is well stoked up with a capsule coffee maker with large selection of capsules , spices, salt, paper and everything you might need for cooking. There are set of dishes sufficient for a family of 4. Please note that there is no dishwasher, so please prepaid to do your own dishes or bring paper plates.
The first floor of the house has a large living area with TV, couches and a gas stove. There is a king bed on the first floor, a powder room and a laundry room with washer and dryer.
The second floor of the house has kitchen, smaller living room with TV and 2 very large bean bag chairs, full bathroom with shower and a private bedroom with queen size bed.
In front of the house there is a patio with large table, 4 chairs and umbrella - perfect for having family meals outside. There is a brand new grill as well.
The owners gave us excellent suggestions about interesting and challenging family bicycle rides looping right from the property and local hikes. They also gave great us tips on the local vineries.
This is a great place for family getaway! Very short drive to epic local hikes such as Old Rag mountain, great place for long bicycle rides and trips to local vineries. You can do horse back riding at the Graves farm, or go on a mountain bicycle runes on the same trails.
