    The ultimate in privacy is yours in this secluded Shenandoah River cottage where nature and history combine forces to create a perfect setting for a delightful journey. Be active; be quiet. Here your time is your own and a lavish breakfast is ready when you are. Soothe your soul in the restful luxury of a spacious detached cottage. Toast the sunset on your own stone-walled terrace; dip your toes in the singing river, dream by the fire, count fireflies from the screened porch, wish upon a star as you drift to sleep. Remember how good you feel and promise yourself to return again and again.

    Whether celebrating a special occasion or searching for that perfect trek away from the city, the intimate charm of this historic 1852 B&B makes a rewarding base for enjoying the many pleasures of the Shenandoah Valley, an area rich in Virginia history and natural beauty. Hike the trails of the Shenandoah National Park, delight in the scenery along Skyline Drive or golf at the base of the Massanutten Range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Antique shops, flea markets, Civil War museums and monuments are only moments away. Fish, canoe, explore caverns, or bike along country roads that have never heard the roar of heavy traffic. Maintain a vigorous schedule or just sit back, relax and enjoy the river view and cool mountain breezes.
