About The Owner

Meet Mike and Cheryl. We have lived in many places in our life and have traveled a bit (pre-covid). We live on the property and would love to share our cottage with you. At times we have family come to visit and stay with us in the 'big house' (as our grandson calls it). We love to visit with guests, but you are welcome to enjoy your own space.

Respite from Reality
Clean, quiet, comfortable home in the hills of Va

Overall everything was very comfortable, comfy, and to our hopes/expectations. The only downside was on on the part of VRBO's booking system, as the dates appeared to be available and the prices were different than what we were charged. Luckily, Cheryl was more than accommodating and patient with the discrepancies, and I hope VRBO rectifies the discrepancies. She was a lovely host.

Wonderful

The cabin was amazing, close to the National park for hiking and climbing and Cheryl and her husband were lovely and helpful hosts. As noted previously there’s little to no cell service and the internet can be touchy, but other than that the bed was comfy, the kitchen WELL stocked with all the little things you might need as well as and array of cooking/kitchen items. There’s not much by way of food/restaurants in the area that are open later than 7p… i mostly ate what I had there, but if you’re an earlier eater there’s a town about 12 mins away with options. Definitely would stay again!

Cottage in the foothills, Thoughtfully Equipped

NO problems whatsoever finding the cottage; GoogleMaps brought us straight to the property. Spouse and I (plus small-ish hound dog) enjoyed a perfect getaway in this clean, pleasant, pet-friendly country cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. We have never stayed in a better-equipped vacation rental home. Hosts Mike and Cheryl go above and beyond to make sure you don't have to bring your own (insert whatever you thought a vacation rental home would lack here). Nice sheets/pillows/blankets? On nice mattresses? Check. Abundant good towels, including kitchen hand towels? Check. Memory foam dog bed? Yup. Clothes-washing detergent and dryer sheets in the laundry room? Check. Cheryl placed spices in the cabinets, including flour and powdered sugar. Wine glasses and two mini bottles of wine, thoughtful and generous. We ordered cereal and juice in advance at no extra cost; another thoughtful touch. Appreciated the Britta-filtered pitcher of water in the fridge, alongside jam, honey, ketchup and mustard. The Kuerig has a complete assortment of coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Internet that works, two decent-sized flat screens w/Roku, and a very comfortable sofa sectional for downtime. The A/C is quiet, efficient, icy cold, and easily adjusted – darn nice during August! There are even a small pair of binoculars on a shelf in case you forgot yours. Wildlife watching is excellent; we heard owls and woodpeckers in the trees, saw deer and a flock of wild turkeys. This property is so quiet that, sitting outside at dusk, we could hear bats chirping and squeaking overhead as they emerged from the nearby hills. Magical.

Nice but had some address issue

The property was nice but we had difficult time finding it as the address was wrong on VRBO and there was no phone signal in the neighborhood to call the owner.

We thought the breakfasts was hot served but its all frozen food so you have to cook it by yourself. I am not a big fan of frozen food.

Overall the property was nice and quiet.

Well-stocked home

This home was filled with tons of kitchen items, towels, games, blankets, etc. Owners were responsive and friendly. Special considerations were made for our pets. I would definitely rent again next time I'm in the area.

Great experience!

Wonderful stay at the Cottages. We chose it since it was close to Old Rag and White Oak Canyon trailheads. Place was very clean. Exceptional hosts. Would stay there again.

Escape from suburban life

Good little spot out of the business of the city. Kids loved seeing some deer in the woods and the beanbags were a big hit for both kids and dog. Thanks Cheryl!

Peaceful place to stay!

I stayed with a dear friend this weekend. We wanted to spend time hiking and checking out Shenandoah NP. We also were close enough to visit the White Oak Lavender Farm about an hour away and thoroughly enjoyed it.

At the Cottage, we met the host who was gracious and accommodating. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed the grill and picnic table as well as beanbag chairs in the upstairs family room. The kitchen was well appointed and we really enjoyed the breakfast choices.

Highly recommend for a place to use as home base for SNP, local wineries/breweries and a relaxing place to rest.

Great Family Getaway

This was a great family getaway for us. We had a great time in this cozy cottage. The home was clean and we had access to everything we needed. Internet was spotty but if you need to disconnect and be present with your family, this is a great place to go. We will definitely be coming back.
