Enjoyed our stay at the Cottage on the Shenandoah River. Easy access to main highway and centrally located. Enjoyed our hikes on Skyline Drive during the morning and then went paddle boarding in the evening. House was very clean and the host was responsive if you had any questions. Would highly recommend this the cottage. The fire at night was a plus!
