The property had everything you needed. Location was amazing. It’s an old trailer, but if you’re looking for a quiet, rustic getaway this is the place. We enjoyed it.

Perfect location for hiking White Oak and Old Rag, and explore Shenandoah Skyline Drive. Comfy accomodations,clean linen, bath and kitchen, but few too many bugs and spider webs inside and outside. Has good Wi-Fi access needed in the valley location. Bathroom window crank broken and had to be pushed shut from outside.

Can’t Beat The Location

Immediately adjacent to multiple trailheads; this quaint property is the best. The property manager was great to communicate with - tips ahead of time, all of the info we needed to have an easy arrival and check-in, and the property had lots of little touches (local hiking maps and info; restaurant recommendations, and appropriate kitchen/cooking items) to make our stay great. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great for hikers!

My teen son and I stayed for two nights to hike in the area. It was as described in the photos/description and met our expectations. It was an easy walk to the White Oak Canyon trailhead, and my son loved the swimming holes accessible from the two trails there. We also hiked Old Rag. We wanted to make sure to do the full circuit with the rock scramble. Please note that the parking lot for the full 9 mile Old Rag hike is about a 25-minute drive away; it's the Berry Hollow parking that is close to the cottage. We knew this going in but just make sure you do your research. We also enjoyed having the Graves Market nearby (which is listed as Syria Mercantile in the instructions). This is a great spot for hikers!

Perfect little getaway

My partner and I stayed here for two nights as we visited Shenandoah National Park. The cottage is in a great location and has a great deli up the road ten minutes. We loved our quick drives to Sperryville, the park, and hikes such as Old Rag. We really loved this cottage and how remote it was-playing cornhole in the yard, sitting out near the fire, etc. We will remember this darling cottage forever and hope to return some day!!

The property was perfect for my four year old son and my stay. We were able to easily walk to the white oak canyon trailhead which was our goal. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Nothing fancy, just country living. We went out to eat at Graves mountain lodge as well as the Bavarian Chef, and recommend both of them.

The perfect place to stay if you are interested in hiking the mountain trails. Literally a hop skip and jump to the trails. Such a beautiful area to stay in. The place is well maintained, clean and has everything you need. Comfortable and convenient. I will be booking this place to stay many many more times!!

Basic amenities close to trail

We came to a music festival and to hike and were not planning to be inside much so Bills place fit the “bill”. It had the very basics of what we needed and we appreciated the exceptionally beautiful surrounding and it’s close proximity to the trails. The biggest negative was the very uncomfortable sofa which made it hard to watch a movie in the evening since it’s the only place to sit. That’s an easy fix and we would stay there again if the sofa was replaced. Thank you for letting us check in early Bill!

Excellent hiking base

We loved staying here as the perfect base for our Old Rag hike as well as White Oak Canyon (which is SO close!). Surrounded by woods, we heard so many birds and saw lots of stars in the evening. It was just what we needed.

Location, location, location

When we booked this stay it looked nice and cozy and was right beside Shenandoah National Park, which was the primary goal. When we arrived, I was disappointed as my memory of the pictures were nicer then the actual accommodations and I thought it would be more spacious then it was. Pretty basic and rustic but to be fair it had all the necessities and the firepit and cornhole were nice features.I appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked with all of the items we needed. Bugs were really bad, which made its second best feature, being outside, unpleasant. Granted, Bill did provide some forewarning, so it's not as if it was a complete surprise.

Great Little Spot for Hikers

This is a great place to stay if you want to hide out in the woods for a weekend and go for a hike or two. The house itself was small but comfortable for four people and worked perfectly. We walked to the White Oak Canyon Trail and loved the hike. It was amazing to not have to drive up like I have so many times. There were not too many food options nearby, so hitting the Food Lion and cooking while at the house is the main option, which I always love to do.Beautiful area, nice and secluded if that’s what you’re looking for, and spectacular hikes just a walk away.

Great location

This was the perfect location for us. We were able to walk to White Oak Canyon lower parking lot instead of dealing with the congestion of cars trying to park there. The cottage was everything we needed it to be for what we were there for. Really all you need to bring is food and clothes. Beautiful property. Bill provided us with all info needed to cover any question we may have had. I would definitely stay here again. It was easy, convenient, and affordable!
