Cottage holiday rentals in Shenandoah River

Absolutely perfect stay! The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was the highlight—so peaceful and private, surrounded by nature. We loved unwinding there after a day of exploring. Communication with the host was super easy, and check-in was a breeze. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with a touch of luxury, this is the spot. Already dreaming of our next trip back!

Our stay was exceptional and exactly what we were looking for. The breathtaking view of the mountains in the background was truly stunning. The home felt peaceful, warm, and very clean—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was also conveniently located close to the main road. We had everything we needed in this charming, well-equipped home. We’ll definitely be returning!

We had a great stay at Heather Mary's place! The location is phenomenal for exploring everything Berkeley Springs has to offer - we were able to leave our car in the driveway and walk to everything. The house has everything you could possibly need, was incredibly well organized, and was spacious enough for our party of 5 (1 grandma, 2 parents, and 2 kids). Our kids already keep asking when we can "go back to the cottage"!

This house is a gem! The location allows for privacy and great hikes while still being close enough to Luray and Sperryville for restaurants and activities. I’d absolutely return. The house was clean and as advertised. The hosts were very responsive! The creek on the property was such a lovely feature. The only note I’d like to make is the area must have had a lot of rain right before our visit. To access the house, you drive over a very small concrete bridge over the creek. When we arrived the water was over the bridge, and probably 5 or so inches at its deepest. We had a sedan and weren’t comfortable driving over. Jerry quickly gave us alternate directions, so all in all in worked out and provided some excitement :). But if there’s been a lot of rain and you have a low car, be aware!

A very nice place in a private setting. Had all the essentials. The pool and hot tub were especially nice. Loved the wine at the winery also🍷 Andrea was helpful and responsive with all questions. Highly recommend staying!

A quirky and fun experience. James home gives you an updated kitchen and bathroom with a quaint old house feel. The beds are comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings and the short walk to town. The driveway was steep and we appreciated the ability to park in the lower spot also available. The little details like a HDMI in a basket and all the cleaning supplies was great. Having three small bedrooms for our group at this price was perfect.

Thank you so much to Darrel! We absolutely loved our stay here and would 100% come back. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our time immensely. The river is beautiful and the location is so quiet and private. We were able to see the bald eagle and catch fish, etc. Highly recommend if you want a weekend in nature and just time to relax and unwind!

This was our third visit and we have loved being there every time. We travel from Florida to Pennsylvania in the spring and fall and this is the only place we stay two overnights because it’s such a lovely place to be. Chris is as nice and welcoming as anyone could possibly be. Everything you need is there. The pool and hot tub are amazing. The gardens and bird life are like nowhere else. The Graves Mill Trail, about 25 minutes away is a beautiful place to hike. And Chris introduced us last year to old house Vineyards where you can have amazing brick oven pizza on Mondays. We will return again and again!

This amazingly cozy farmhouse was just the vibe we were looking for. Beautiful outdoor seating (screened-in porch, deck overlooking the vineyards, and lounge chair by the pool) made it easy to breathe in the fresh air. Beds were comfortable and water pressure was great! The outside deck with Solostove was perfect for the chilly evenings. We enjoyed light snacks and wine at Muse Vineyards, which was lovely and got to meet Sally! We ventured into town for some local eats. Can’t say enough good things about Woodstock Cafe’s breakfast. We enjoyed a sweet treat at Sugar Creek and had a lovely walk down the street at Seven Bends. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, look no further!

Beautiful property, beautiful views, and an unbelievable night sky. It's definitely a place you want to try.

Patti’s cottage is a lovely, affordable, quiet place near some great American historical sites. We wish we had had more time to spend there!

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.

What an absolutely beautiful space! Once we arrived, we didn’t want to leave. The house was super clean and well laid out. This is a perfect spot to unwind or recharge. Bring all your food and drink and just enjoy the beautiful views. We saw lots of wildlife, including herons, bald eagles, osprey, little lizards, deer, turtle, and some jumping fishies. We checked out Fossil Beach at Westmoreland State Park. Lots of walking trails and a lot of eagles. We enjoyed some bbq from Fishers at the Barn. The rest of the time we lounged on one of the decks or the dock and just took in the sights and sounds. Thanks for sharing the beautiful space!! We hope to visit again this fall! 10/10.

The house was so uniquely quaint! It was truly a time to unwind from the craziness of this world! No TV other than in the upstairs bedroom and no Wi-Fi, which made it so nice to “unplug”! The sauna was absolutely amazing! The two options of fire pits to relax and have s’mores! The fireplace in the main living room was such an added bonus, to take the chill off in the morning and to just have a nice fire in the evening before bed. The fact that they had food there for us for breakfast was truly amazing! A bottle of wine to share, which was great considering we were there for our anniversary. You can get to so many places within 20 to 40 minutes! We went into Harpers Ferry for dinner at the Rabbit Hole! Harpers Ferry is a must to visit if you are in the area! Tons of trails, white water rafting and things to see and do are all just a short drive away. If you want a place to truly unwind, this is it! 🥰

Sandi was a gracious host and the cottage was a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend if staying in the area.

Place was perfectly as described, very clean if ever in the area again to play, Golf definitely would be looking to rent again

The home was beautiful and clean, very peaceful. Chris and Becky were wonderful hosts. They are very kind and responsive. I appreciate them working diligently with me. I am looking forward to booking this property in the future. Thank you for a great stay! My family and I appreciate you!

I had a fabulous stay at this little cabin! It’s just the right size for two people to get away relax and enjoy hiking in nature that is literally right outside the door. Kate was fantastic hostess and always willing to help make the stay as comfortable as possible.

Ana and Nick, thank you so much for hosting us at your beautiful home. The quaintness of your place, the warm welcome card, the bottle of wine, and the exceptional hospitality we received were truly amazing. We would highly recommend your place to anyone looking for a memorable stay with breathtaking views and cozy home finishes. Thank you, we’ll certainly return when we return to the area!

We had a blast at this Airbnb! The cottage was extremely cute on the outside, and having the little zipline and firepit was a great addition to our girl's trip. You can tell the host put a lot of effort into her listing, it was a very pleasant stay!

This place was amazing and had fantastic views! We had such a great stay, the set up is perfect to have fun as well as relax!

WOW!!! This is THE gem of air bnb’s. I cannot begin to articulate just how incredible it was. The photos don’t give justice to how beautiful this home is and how thoughtful all the details are. Luanne was amazing and communicative- her and her husband truly went above and beyond in hospitality and kindness when we forgot bug spray and charcoal, and when asking where we could find some locally they grabbed some for us! The site is breathtaking, we loved sitting by the fire pit and looking at the stars after a night of grilling. 1 night was rainy and still so enjoyable because their kitchen was fully stocked with any and all utensils needed to make a lovely meal and admire the storm over the mountains from the beautiful covered back deck! Little details like super comfy robes and slippers made me feel right at home. The winery is so cute and has delicious wines- we had a flight of both the red and white and would definitely recommend! Truly cannot wait to come back, definitely plan to!

My husband and I and our 1 year old met my parents here for Mothers Day weekend, and it was just as past reviews said… WONDERFUL!! The house is clean, charming with river views, inserted into nature and fully stocked (including travel cribs, high chairs and baby books). We had the best time enjoying grilling, the fire pit, the hot tub each night and watching the sunset from the top deck or dock down at the water. Path to water = steep but my parents in their late 60s (and carrying a 1 year old) did just fine taking their time. Though they did max out at 2x round trips :) Definely rent the pontoon!! We did for 1 day and felt that was plenty. We didn’t leave the house for 4 days and loved every minute. From yoga on the porch, to fishing with some cheap fishing gear purchased at Walmart 20min away. We took walks, my husband explore the riverbank for arrowheads. Tons of books to read at property!! We saw wild turkey, red fox, lots of deer. 100% coming back!! Frank and Grace are GREAT!!

Most places we looked at had tons of neighbors and didn’t have much privacy. This place has a large yard, wooded area in the back. We had 3 deer to watch every morning and before dusk each night. Town is 5 minutes away down a small and beautiful winding road. You could stay there the whole vacation and let the kids play in a safe environment. Very light traffic on the road. Definitely take the drive going East once, beautiful drive.
