The Cottage at Nature's Edge

Great stay just make sure you have a good car! Positive: Everything was perfect. It was a beautiful home with so many things already there for you, like pots and pans. It was so cute and everything was in great condition. Negative: The only thing that I could say I didn’t like was the driveway. It’s pretty steep with loose gravel and was hard to get up in a 2WD car. There are potholes on the way up so if your car is super low I would say that it may not get up.

It was AWESOME. Positive: It was a gorgeous location, we enjoyed the cozy cottage. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get away for a bit. The only thing I wish we did differently was to stay longer. Negative: Everything was good. Nothing was bad.

Perfect location! Positive: Peaceful and still close to everything!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was secluded and peaceful. Nicely marked short loop trail on the property. Had everything we needed (even hairbands - thank you!). The hot tub was great! We did a day of hiking in Shenandoah park, beautiful drive to and from the cabin.

An atmospheric stay with a few points of criticism. Cabin fell short of its potential. Positive: Apart from a toaster, we didn’t miss anything in terms of amenities. The cabin was smaller than expected but still spacious enough and very cozy. Unfortunately, the hot tub kept turning on several times during the night and was quite loud (around 50 dB), which made it hard to sleep at first. However, the host was very responsive and quickly took care of the issue. What we loved most was the atmosphere – a secluded cabin surrounded by an autumn forest. A truly atmospheric and memorable stay! Negative: The cabin looked clean at first glance, but it seemed as if it had only been cleaned superficially before our stay. I didn’t go looking for dirt, but when I happened to look in certain spots, I found quite a bit of dust – for example, on the air vent, the bed frame near the headboard, the ceiling beams, and the bathroom light well. Who knows what else I might have found if I had been checking more closely. There was also a carafe with a water filter, which we initially appreciated, but upon closer inspection, it was clear the filter hadn’t been cleaned or replaced in quite some time. The cabin was also quite dark – which is to be expected for a wooden cabin in the middle of the forest, of course – but an extra string of lights would really add to the atmosphere and provide a bit more brightness when needed. The mattresses were extremely soft – probably a matter of personal preference, but unfortunately not comfortable for us.
