Perfect place for Shenandoah

When I go back to the park, I will be staying here. Perfect location for access to Old Rag Mountain and the middle entrance of the park to drive north or south on Skyline Drive. The host couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly.

Wonderful getaway

We had a wonderful few days at Jerry's little cottage! Everything was just like the pictures and so clean and cozy. Jerry even came by and talked with us and we learned we had a lot in common! We also saw deer and even bald eagles on the property! Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location for Old Rag

House is just down the road from the Old Rag ranger station. Bed was very comfortable, especially after a long day hiking. Perfect for two people. Bring bug spray, the gnats in this area are pretty bad.

Cozy cottage

I loved staying at this cottage. Had everything I needed for my stay. Clean and comfy and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. This is the place for you if you are looking peace and quiet. It’s about 1 mile from the Old Rag trailhead. The views from the property are amazing. I would most definitely stay there again.

Fantastic Stay!

Comfortable, clean and peaceful! Cottage is a perfect place to stay while exploring the area. Jerry is one of the best hosts I have encountered, very thoughtful but respectful of privacy. He is available to help with suggestions to ensure you have the best trip possible. Would definitely recommend Jerry's place to anyone coming to the area and/or wanting to hike Old Rag!

Perfect long weekend spot

This cottage was the perfect getaway for myself and my partner. Great spot to unplug for a long weekend and easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. We were in awe of the night sky as there is little to no light pollution and platform to star gaze on the property. Place has everything needed to be comfortable and Jerry is sure to be accessible if you have questions or needs. Would definitely come back again!

Great cottage

Had a great stay in Jerry's cottage. The land is great with a lot of room and the size was just right for my needs. The location was great and close to Sperryville, which I went to everyday for coffee. Jerry is a great host, very hepful, and good to talk with. The cottage itself has a great layout, bathroom, and kitchen. No complaints and I will stay again next time I am in town. Definitely recommend.

A beautiful respite from stress

Jerry was an excellent host! The property was in a beautiful location and breakfasts out on the porch enjoying the birds and scenery was great. Very close to old rag and white oak trailheads for those interested inhiking two of the best hikes in shenandoah. The only negative was spotty internet access on occasion. I guess that its the price you pay for seclusion and it is notlimited to jerrys property

Cottage Near Old Rag

We had an amazing time spending the weekend at the cottage to celebrate our anniversary. Jerry was a wonderful host. The property is beautiful with a nice view of the mountains. Very peaceful. We enjoyed watching the deer and stargazing at night. Would definitely recommend doing the old rag hike. We took an easier route to the summit using the fire road. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area. Thanks Jerry!

Perfect getaway for a long weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was very cute and Jerry was very responsive and helpful, leaving the light on for us outside since we were arriving at night. This turned out to be very useful since it was quite dark and Google directions thought the house was about 100-200 feet before the actual driveway. Our dog LOVED the field behind the house and we spent many hours wandering around, seeing fox and deer at different times. There is also amazing stargazing (especially coming from DC), we went outside each night just to look up for a little while. The location was great for escaping the city, but also only 15 minutes from Sperryville, which we really enjoyed wandering through. We did get a chance to take advantage of the proximity to Old Rag, but will next time. We did do some apple picking at an orchard a few minutes drive away. The wifi was good for streaming and for my husband to do some work, but I don't know that I would trust it entirely if the two of us needed to be on video calls at the same time. Definitely looking forward to a future visit!

Our host was very nice. The house was very quaint and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The views were fabulous and he even made a platform in the middle of the field to star gaze and/or have a campfire. The location was perfect for visiting ‘Old Rag’ mountain as well as Shenandoah National Park. We will certainly return when we are back in the area.
