We experienced one of the most beautiful sunsets the evening we arrived and were able to enjoy some wine while sitting and watching our dog explore to her heart’s content. The hosts are very communicative and absolutely respected our privacy. They even provided some winery recommendations for the area. We will absolutely be coming back to enjoy this little slice of heaven! ##### Dow S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly W. May 23, 2019 #### Sparkling clean! Easy check in. Beautiful views. We loved our stay here!! This place is a hidden gem!! My husband and I have traveled to the area at least a dozen times in the past 6 months and have stayed in hotels, B&B’s, cabins, etc. This was by far the nicest accommodations we’ve found. Pics don’t do it justice! The cottage appears to be either new construction or newly renovated; bathroom was spacious and like new, kitchen has all new appliances. The bed was very comfortable with crisp clean linens. Even the pillows on the bed were new (I always bring my own pillows because you never know what your going to get). I didn’t get to the cottage until 10pm and had no problem getting the keys with the lockbox code. First thing I noticed was a bottle of red wine waiting for me on the table. A great greeting after a 6 hour drive! A fresh bag of coffee for the coffee maker, A new carton of coffee creamer in the fridge, bottled waters, a few snacks, etc. The cottage was private and felt very homey. The main house is just at the end of the cottage driveway. James (the host) told me via VRBO messenger to text him if we needed anything. In the morning, from the back windows, we saw deer playing in the rolling fields. In the evening we sat outside with a bottle of wine and watched a beautiful sunset from the little paver patio which had a table and chairs. I’m looking forward to staying here again and would recommend it to anyone! ##### Kelly W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMANDA C.

Back again for another visit - I now refer to this property as "the Markham House" to friends of mine because I have mentioned it and stayed so often! The location cannot be beat, the hosts are SO kind and thoughtful (there's snacks and drinks and coffee and creamer for when you arrive, along w/soap and shampoo/conditioner if you forgot anything!), and staying here is just perfect for myself and a friend for a weekend away. We love poking around the local wineries, the pick-your-own farms in the area when they're in season, and downtown Front Royal and Strasburg, and even The Plains. The location cannot be beat!! One thing we noticed this trip was a significant upgrade to the wifi - we were able to log in to streaming services and keep up w/show episodes or put a movie on while cooking vs. leaving it up to chance w/whatever was on TV. GREAT little upgrade that made our trip that much more pleasant. We can't wait to be back again, hopefully timing it well with a new moon and good weather for more star gazing!! ##### AMANDA C.

It’s roomy and comfortable and so clean. The host has gone above and beyond in making it the perfect stay, with thoughtful touches everywhere. The bed is very comfortable with nice linens; lots of fluffy towels; the cheese and crackers and wine was especially appreciated on arrival. There are just too many things to list! Added to it all are gorgeous mountain views from every window. Definitely stay here - you’ll be glad you did. I sure was! ##### Lydia G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giles H. Sep 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing, senic location, close to a lot Great property, owners are very responsive. They have a lot of nice touches in the apartment (cable, hospitality items, etc.). It's a good location-close to 66 and has a nice senic route too. Close to alot but well out of the way so you can get away. Pet friendly too. I would highly recommend this rental. ##### Giles H.
