My husband and I did a solo trip to visit an area we have been wanting to see for a long time, the Shenandoah Valley. Ferne and her family went above and beyond to welcome us and to assist in any way possible to make our visit even more special.This has been by far our best experience yet with a rental and will highly recommend the home to others. It was easy to find, comfortable, had beautiful views, quiet, and had everything we needed. The location was also an excellent choice, with major interstates close by and a large variety of towns and attractions nearby to make a full day trip without being exhausting. On our last two nights we even got to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks from the valley while sitting on the front porch!We are already looking forward to our next visit.
A great location for sightseeing Stauton and Harrisburg area. Convienent to hiking in The George Washington & Jefferson National Forest. The cottage is well stocked and the host was very friendly and accommodating. We greatly enjoyed our four days
Our family enjoyed our stay. We were in town for our daughterâs graduation at jmu. We are a wheelchair using family and the property is perfect for us.
We had a lovely one-night stay at the cottage. Short drive to JMU and so relaxing. Spent time swinging on the porch with a cup of coffee while enjoying the farm and mountain viewâs. Ferne is a wonderful host. She stocked the fridge with breakfast so we could eat and get to the ceremony on time.
This was a fly fishing fishing birthday trip for my hubby and everything was great! The cottage location is pretty central to lots of things to do! It was very quiet and peaceful. This has nothing to do with the property but it is significant enough to mention. The area is packed full of poultry farms and when driving anywhere in the area, there is the worst smell you will ever smell in your life! Turn on the recirculate button for the air in your car and it helps tremendously. Ferne went above and beyond with birthday flowers and balloons. There was fresh eggs in the refrigerator and lots of snacks and other breakfast food. It was the perfect couples retreat!
This cute little cottage has just about everything you need for a warm, countryside visit. Itâs very close to both Harrisonburg and Staunton. Even with my tall stature of 6â6â I was comfortable in this cottage. The family hosting the property is very warm and inviting while also being non invasive of your space and privacy, I would definitely stay here again!
The property is exactly as described; beautiful, comfortable, quaint and truly a "home away from home". The cottage is exceptionally outfitted with everything you need. And items you may have forgotten to bring. Lol. Cleanliness and organization is phenomenal. The hosts are well intuned to travelers needs. This is the best VRBO we've booked, and will revisit. An extra plus is the quiet of the community with an opportunity to view the mountains and Harrisonburg city lights on the horizon. There are opportunities to sleep up to 8 people as there is a murphy bed and a sleep sofa downstairs and 2 twins and a queen upstairs. These choices are well suited to young adults and/or children.
This property truly exceeded our expectations for a stay! Our host was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and went above and beyond being helpful! She truly went the extra mile, including bringing us fresh baked cookies and chopping extra wood so we could have fresh firewood after a rain! We could not recommend this place more!!
For us it was a nice, relaxing getaway from the daily hustle and bustle of city life. The charming cottage offered us a peaceful retreat with stunning views. Our host Fern was an angel, she answered our every queries promptly, she greeted us in person despite arriving late at night, checked back with us the following day!! The refrigerator and pantry were fully stocked, and the place was so thoughtfully and tastefully furnished. We'll definitely be back!!
It all starts with our host, Ferne. A lovely lady who meets you at the door with a smile and a welcome. This is such a cute little nook that had beautiful views. Ferne makes sure you have everything you need. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed for the night so that we could enjoy parents weekend with our daughter in college. The cottage was perfect and Wheelchair acdessible for my husband.
Too many extra amenities to list in a short review, outstanding hospitality with some of the greatest sunrises we have ever witnessed! Huge thanks to Ferne and David for sharing their slice of heaven with us!!!
We had a lovely and peaceful stay at the Cedar Nook cottage, while we prepared and raced in the Shenandoah 100k mountain bike race. Ferne was great and all of the amenities provided were appreciated and enjoyed! The place was clean and extremely quiet and restful!
The property couldnât be quainter and the view could not have been better. We had the best stay. Thank you so much Ferne! Also, loved the snacks and smore supplies made available to us:).
This cottage is simply charming, as are the owners. We had a most delightful experience, peaceful, quiet, and beautiful views. The host did an extraordinary job to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Thanks bunches.
This cottage had beautiful views all around us of the mountains as we set nestled in the valley. The host was extremely hospitable and provided so many things above and beyond for our pleasure during our stay. We enjoyed a nice fire with provided hot dogs and smores, plus corn hole to play. The cottage was clean and perfect space for us to relax. It was also within a close distance of many places to visit and explore!
The owner was very nice. Showed us around and told us about all the amenities. She even stocked the refrigerator with some food, milk and yogart which was so helpful because we were so busy the entire time we stayed. The beds were comfortable and we had great nights of sleep. Thank you!
This is a lovely property in a pretty rural area. From the front porch you can watch the sun rise over the mountains. The cabin is comfortable and well-appointed and the hosts are super. I'll stay here again.
This was an excellent stay all around. The location was beautiful, the lodging was very comfortable, and the hosts were lovely.
The one thing that stood out most to me is how very thoughtful the hosts have been in setting up the cottage - with plenty of minute details throughout the house that really add charm and warmth to the place. It feels that the hosts take real pride in this and it really shows.
Frankly - this was one of the best places I have stayed in a very long time. Hopefully we will do it again soon!
