Respite from Reality

We had the pleasure of staying in the cottage the first weekend in October while we were part of the Graves Mountain Apple Festival. The cottage was situated on a lovely property surrounded by trees. Every amenity was well thought out - from toiletry items, plenty of paper products and towels, coffee and tea, even breakfast!! It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and if we had time, there were games to be enjoyed. Cozy and quiet, it was the perfect place for us to rest after long days. We were thankful to have great lodging nearby and would love to return!

Our stay was perfect. It was a great location to graves mountain lodge. The cabin had a very homey feel to it, and had everything we could possibly need. Owners were very accommodating!

This place was comfortable and had a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. I would stay here again for visits to Shenandoah.

We had an amazing, very active and at the same time very relaxing 3 day family getaway in this cozy, very clean and very well equipped 2 story cabin in the woods.Perfect size for a family of 4.The owners go far and beyond to make you feel welcomed and truly taken care off. They were very sweet to accommodate our very specific check-in and check-out requests. The owners left us a beautiful Easter Lily live flower arrangement on the kitchen table and a box of local hand made chocolates as a welcome Easter gift. The property was spotless clean and the owners left us light everywhere for our late night check in. We had a choice of large variety of breakfast items that was included with our stay that were brought to the cabin for us. If you want to cook your own meals the kitchen is equipped gas stove and a microwave. There was a pitcher with fresh filtered water in the fridge. Kitchen is well stoked up with a capsule coffee maker with large selection of capsules , spices, salt, paper and everything you might need for cooking. There are set of dishes sufficient for a family of 4. Please note that there is no dishwasher, so please prepaid to do your own dishes or bring paper plates. The first floor of the house has a large living area with TV, couches and a gas stove. There is a king bed on the first floor, a powder room and a laundry room with washer and dryer. The second floor of the house has kitchen, smaller living room with TV and 2 very large bean bag chairs, full bathroom with shower and a private bedroom with queen size bed.In front of the house there is a patio with large table, 4 chairs and umbrella - perfect for having family meals outside. There is a brand new grill as well. The owners gave us excellent suggestions about interesting and challenging family bicycle rides looping right from the property and local hikes. They also gave great us tips on the local vineries.This is a great place for family getaway! Very short drive to epic local hikes such as Old Rag mountain, great place for long bicycle rides and trips to local vineries. You can do horse back riding at the Graves farm, or go on a mountain bicycle runes on the same trails.
