The Space:
The quiet hush of the Shenandoah Valley greets you as you step onto the porch, where steam rises from the hot tub against the cool evening air. Light filters through the sunroom’s large windows, framing the surrounding woods and inviting you to linger over a cup of coffee. Inside, warm lighting and simple comforts create a sense of calm that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. Whether you’re watching snowfall drift through the trees or listening to the soft rustle of winter branches, the cottage feels like a private retreat in nature’s own living room.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably sleep up to four guests. The first bedroom offers a queen bed, while the second features a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for chilly nights. A spacious loft provides a cozy spot to read or gather, though it is intended for lounging rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
Radiant heating keeps the interior comfortable throughout the colder months. A Smart TV and fast WiFi support quiet evenings or remote work, and a dedicated workspace with a door offers privacy for focused tasks. The sunroom, lined with large windows, looks directly into the woods and is perfect for sipping coffee while watching the landscape change.
Kitchen & dining
A full kitchen lets you prepare meals at your own pace, from hearty breakfasts to relaxed dinners. The adjacent dining area keeps everyone connected, making shared meals feel effortless and enjoyable.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round and is especially inviting on cool evenings. A private backyard includes a fire pit, BBQ grill, picnic table, and a patio space for outdoor meals. Lake access is provided via a nearby path and dock, adding a tranquil water element to your stay. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised.
Location & surroundings
A short 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal, where restaurants, shops, and local favorites await. Shenandoah National Park is also about 15 minutes away, offering winter hikes and scenic drives. Breweries and wineries are within easy reach for relaxed outings any time of year.
Pet policy & notes
The cottage is pet‑friendly for dogs; cats are not allowed due to allergies. An indoor fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used. A very slight smoke smell remains from previous owners; most guests do not notice, but very sensitive travelers may prefer another option. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, though natural leaves and pollen may still be present, especially in certain seasons.
Perfect for
Families, couples, or small groups of friends seeking a peaceful mountain escape, with self check‑in, free on‑site parking, and a private entrance that makes arrival and departure effortless.

Summary: The property is just ok. There is mold in the bathroom shower grout which is kind of disgusting. You also need to take your own trash to the trash facility. The listing also has pictures of a working fireplace, and the fireplace does not actually work, which I find to be deceptive. The host asks us if we wanted to stay an extra night because he didn’t have a booking. We said no, and asked for a late check out, which he would not accommodate us with, despite offering it for an extra 80. Stay somewhere else.
