About this house rental
Summary:
Welcome to Sweet Pea Cottage - a cozy mountain retreat where quiet woods, crisp air, and simple comforts invite you to slow down and settle in. Perfect for couples, families, or friends looking for a peaceful Shenandoah escape:
- Sleeps 4 | 2 bedrooms | 3 beds | 1 bath
- Hot tub & private backyard
- Sunroom w/ wooded views & cozy living spaces
- Full kitchen, Smart TV & fast WiFi
- Lake access via path or dock
- Pet-friendly
The Space:
Quiet mountain air, bare branches, and the soft hush of the Shenandoah Valley set the tone as you arrive. Steam rises from the hot tub against the air, and evenings naturally slow down under a sky full of stars. Inside, warm light, simple comforts, and woodland views make it easy to settle in and stay awhile.
Sweet Pea Cottage is an entire home tucked into a wooded setting near Front Royal, offering a cozy retreat well suited for families, couples, or a small group of friends. The pace here is unhurried, with space to reconnect indoors and outdoors.
Sleeping arrangements
The cottage has two bedrooms designed to comfortably sleep up to four guests. One bedroom features a queen bed, while the second includes a set of bunk beds. Bed linens and extra pillows and blankets are provided, making it easy to stay comfortable during chilly nights. A large loft area offers additional space to relax, read, or spend time together, though it is intended for hanging out rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
The main living areas are simple and welcoming, with radiant heating to keep the space comfortable. A Smart TV and fast WiFi support quiet evenings indoors, whether you’re streaming a favorite show or catching up on work at the dedicated workspace located in a separate room with a door. The sunroom, lined with large windows, looks directly into the surrounding woods and is an inviting place to sip coffee or watch snowfall drift through the trees.
Kitchen and dining
A full kitchen allows you to prepare meals at your own pace, whether that’s a hearty breakfast before heading out or a relaxed dinner after a day of exploring. The dining area keeps everyone connected, making shared meals part of the experience rather than a rush between plans.
Outdoor living
The outdoor spaces are a highlight. The hot tub is available year-round and especially enjoyable on evenings. A private patio or balcony, private backyard, BBQ grill, and picnic table give you options to step outside whenever the weather cooperates. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised.
Location and surroundings
The cottage is about a 15-minute drive into downtown Front Royal, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and local favorites. Shenandoah National Park is also roughly 15 minutes away, making hikes and scenic drives easily accessible. Breweries and wineries are within a short drive as well, offering relaxed outings year-round.
Perfect for
Sweet Pea Cottage is pet-friendly and well suited for families, couples seeking a peaceful retreat, or friends looking for a quiet base near nature. With self check-in, free parking on premises, and a private entrance, your stay remains easy and flexible from arrival to departure.
Note
We have an indoor fireplace, but unfortunately it's not usable and is only decorative.
The previous owners smoked, and there's a very slight smoke smell in the house. Most guests don't notice, but if you're very sensitive to it this may not be the place for you.
Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!
Pet Policy
We’re happy to welcome dogs to join you on your getaway! Please note that due to allergies, we’re unable to accommodate cats. A $29 pet fee applies per furry friend, per night to help cover additional cleaning and care. Thanks for understanding—we look forward to hosting you and your pup!
Longer Stays
For stays of 14 nights or longer, guests will be asked to e-sign a rental agreement prior to arrival. This agreement helps us comply with local requirements while protecting the property, and will be sent in advance for review.

10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
Quaint, comfortable, clean, and very quiet setting in the woods. The host's emails were both informative and expressed a strong desire to be sure everything was good.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The house itself was clean, the beds are comfortable, and it is in a nice, quiet, and private location. The property manager was very pleasant and responsed to any questions or concerns quickly.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Gravel road was a little rough on a motorcycle, and not much room to turn around in the driveway. Overall, a really good stay. Christina hooked us up!
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
The property is just ok. There is mold in the bathroom shower grout which is kind of disgusting. You also need to take your own trash to the trash facility. The listing also has pictures of a working fireplace, and the fireplace does not actually work, which I find to be deceptive. The host asks us if we wanted to stay an extra night because he didn’t have a booking. We said no, and asked for a late check out, which he would not accommodate us with, despite offering it for an extra 80. Stay somewhere else.
