The Space:
The crisp mountain air greets you as you step onto the porch, and steam curls from the hot tub while the sky deepens into a blanket of stars. Inside, warm light filters through the sunroom’s large windows, framing the quiet woods that surround the cottage. You’ll find simple comforts and a sense of slow‑down that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably sleep up to four guests. The first bedroom holds a queen bed, and the second features a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows and blankets are provided for chilly nights. A spacious loft offers a cozy spot to read or relax, though it is intended for hanging out rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
Radiant heating keeps the main living area snug throughout winter. A Smart TV and fast Wi‑Fi support quiet evenings or a bit of work at the dedicated workspace set behind a door. The sunroom, lined with large windows, looks directly into the surrounding woods—perfect for sipping coffee while watching snowfall drift through the trees.
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, turning shared meals into a natural part of the day.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round and feels especially inviting 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 cooperates. Lake access is just a short walk away, with a path leading to a dock for quiet moments by the water. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised.
Location & surroundings
A 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal’s restaurants, shops and local favorites. 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‑friendly, the cottage welcomes couples, small groups of friends or families with children. Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies. Self check‑in, free parking on the premises and a private entrance keep your stay easy and flexible.
Important notes
The indoor fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used. A very slight smoke smell remains from previous owners; most guests do not notice it, but very sensitive travelers may prefer another option. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs and walkways before each arrival, yet leaves may still appear during certain seasons—nature leaves its mark, and we appreciate your understanding.
