Cottage holiday rentals in Shenandoah River

This cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend in the mountains. We would definitely come back again!

Elizabeth Cottage is an absolute gem! The home is cozy, comfortable, and filled with sweet touches that made our stay lovely. The yard is large and so pretty, with nice outdoor seating spaces to enjoy the garden and birds. We loved being so close to the springs, baths, and shopping. Everything inside was top notch and completely ready for our arrival. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This place is absolutely beautiful! It was impeccably clean and offered stunning views! The night was wonderfully quiet, making it feel like we were in our own serene world. The layout of the space is amazing, and to top it off, there’s a delightful winery “Firefly” just a short 20-foot walk away! The hot tub was the perfect addition, providing a relaxing way to unwind while enjoying the views. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

We booked this cabin for our anniversary trip and it was nothing short of amazing! It was in a great location, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and incredibly cozy. There was even fresh baked cookies, snacks, and all the things to make you feel right at home! Unfortunately a local wildfire cut our stay super short but Jessica was responsive and quick to communicate during the emergency. We appreciated her understanding when we decided to go home altogether - we were so saddened to leave early but we would absolutely book another trip here to try again!

We had a great stay! Olivia was an excellent host. The place had the perfect vibe for a girls weekend and birthday celebration. The only issue we had was needing to catch 2 wasps that were in the house, but we were able to take care of that without issue. It was so nice to have so many towels and amenities that you don’t normally have in an Airbnb. Thanks again!

Perfect house for our little Falling Water/Kentuck Knob getaway with the kids. The creek adds a lot of charm and we didn’t bring ocean waves for the kids to sleep to so we just cracked the windows a little bit and the creek did its job. Highly recommend!

So comfy and clean! Stayed for a few nights with some friends to forget about life for awhile. Easy walk to town, awesome hot tub on the deck and the grill works great. We left recharged and will def be back!

Had a lovely weekend in VA at Dollys place, and at a really great price. The house was very charming, though very clearly older, but everything about it was within what I consider normal expectations with an older home out in this area. We really enjoyed spending time in the backyard, which was fenced in and had a charming fire pit and table. Our dogs and kids alike took advantage of the ample room for activities back there! Dolly and her husband were very responsive and easy to reach and talk to. Would recommend for a weekend getaway!

Perfect place for us! Clean and cute! The fenced in yard was a big hit with our pup (and us!). Amanda was very quick to answer our questions and the location was super convenient for our trip into Shenandoah Natl Park and the Skyline Drive!

This is our second time staying there and we loved it! So close to Orange so we can run into town and get food, come back home and relax. The dog has a fenced space to run around in and even friends (Hillary's pups) on the other side of the fence to run around with :) It is the perfect place for us to unwind, relax, and prepare for our international travels! Thanks Hillary!

Mary Scott and Mark's cottage was a wonderful little getaway. The cottage was quaint and cozy. Check-in instructions were very clear and our hosts were very responsive. It was a great location with beautiful surroundings and had many things to do within a 20-25 min radius. Downtown Charlottesville and Monticello were close by and were great day activities. We also really enjoyed the Glass House Winery which was about 5 min away. Beautiful home, highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lynne’s cottage. Located on a horse farm the surroundings were so beautiful and peaceful. The proximity of the cottage to the Carlisle Fairgrounds where we were participating in the Spring Car Show was very convenient. After being at the fairgrounds every day it was so enjoyable to return to the horse farm and just relax after a long day.

The pink cottage is nestled in nature, but also in the city. We were able to head toward UVA campus or out toward Ivy with ease. The place is both quirky and quaint - an artistically steeped homebase.

This was our third time staying here and it is always wonderful. The property itself is beautiful and peaceful. Our dog loves the fenced in yard and dog amenities (water bowl, poop bags). The coffee that Billy provides is so good and much appreciated. Phone coverage can be spotty (the provide wifi works great), so the recommendations and directions provided in the Welcome binder are very useful. Love it here & hoping we will be able to visit again soon.

This was a perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The fireplace was a treat, and we had a very cozy stay. It's hard to add to what other reviewers have already said, but here is one detail: on a winter's night, when the moon is down and the sky is clear, the stars are fantastic! Because there is no nearby light pollution, the view from the deck of the night sky is deep and brilliant.

This was my second time staying. It's a very comfortable place to stay, clean and modern. My favorite part is how quiet it is.

This is the third year we’ve come back to the Gatekeeper Cottage and it’s just as wonderful as always, Adrianne and Brick are very friendly hosts! We hope to come back again in the summer even if just for a day to enjoy the house in another season. Thank you again for having us back!

We had a great time! We were able to get away for a quick trip before the baby arrives which was refreshing!!

Me and my boyfriend wanted to find a place to get away and this was a great spot to feel especially near the wonderful beach & setting, We love their backyard and creative decoration in the cottage!

Kay takes pride in this property and it shows in her attention to detail. It is a lovely place to stay and she personalizes the experience to make you feel welcomed. The home is well decorated and super clean. We loved our stay!

My husband and I decided on a last-minute weekend getaway, and Bonnie was so accommodating with this gorgeous little cottage! The space was clean, comfortable, thoughtfully furnished, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The historical details were one-of-a-kind. Absolutely loved the quiet setting on the family farm and close proximity to the brewery, too! I would highly recommend this space - it's the perfect location for exploring wine country.

An adorable little cottage for a weekend getaway in the mountains! The bed is comfortable, the kitchen has all the essentials and the host baked fresh muffins to welcome us. Clear instructions in the welcome packet and around the appliances. The screened in porch is perfect for enjoying the vineyard views. Close by national and state parks and a bustling walkable downtown.

Lovely space, we loved the loft and the sauna especially! Very cozy and unique stay!

Just as described! We had a lovely visit to Batesville.
