The Space:
Steam curls from the hot tub as the cool mountain air settles around you, and the hush of the Shenandoah Valley wraps the cottage in quiet. Light filters through the sunroom’s large windows, catching the bare winter branches and turning the woods into a soft, moving backdrop. Inside, warm radiance and simple comforts invite you to unwind, while the scent of pine mingles with a faint, lingering hint of the home’s past. You can feel the pace slow the moment you step onto the private patio and hear the distant call of night birds.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably sleep four guests. The master bedroom holds a queen bed, and the second bedroom features a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for chilly evenings. A spacious loft offers a cozy spot to read or gather, though it is intended for lounging rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
The main living area is bright and welcoming, with radiant heating that keeps the interior snug in winter. A Smart TV and fast WiFi let you stream shows or catch up on work, and a dedicated workspace with a door provides a quiet spot for productivity. The sunroom looks directly onto the surrounding woods, perfect for sipping coffee while watching snowfall drift through the trees. An indoor fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used.
Kitchen & dining
A full kitchen equips you to prepare hearty breakfasts or relaxed dinners at your own pace. The adjacent dining area keeps everyone connected around the table, making meals feel like a shared experience rather than a rush.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round, offering a steamy retreat on cold evenings. A private backyard includes a fire pit, BBQ grill, picnic table, and a patio where you can step outside whenever the weather allows. 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 year‑round.
Perfect for
Pet‑friendly and family‑oriented, the cottage welcomes couples, small groups of friends, and families with children. Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies. Self check‑in, free on‑site parking, and a private entrance make arrival and departure effortless.
Notes
A very slight smoke smell may be noticeable to those who are highly sensitive. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but leaves from the natural setting—such as leaves or pollen—may still be present, especially in certain seasons.

Summary: Gravel road was a little rough on a motorcycle, and not much room to turn around in the driveway. Overall, a really good stay. Christina hooked us up!
