The Space:
The crisp mountain air greets you as you step onto the porch, and the scent of pine mingles with the faint, lingering hint of past gatherings. Steam curls from the hot tub while the sky deepens into a blanket of stars, inviting you to unwind beneath the quiet hush of the Shenandoah Valley.
Inside, warm light spills across simple, comfortable furnishings, and the sunroom frames a view of snow‑dusted trees that drift by as you sip coffee or watch the snowfall settle on the roof. The space feels private yet open, a perfect balance for a relaxed winter retreat.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably host up to four guests. The master bedroom features a queen bed dressed with fresh linens, while the second bedroom offers a set of bunk beds, ideal for families or friends. Extra pillows and blankets are provided for chilly evenings, and a spacious loft invites you to lounge, read, or share stories, though it is not intended for sleeping.
Living spaces
Radiant heating keeps the main living area cozy, and a Smart TV paired with fast Wi‑Fi offers entertainment or a quiet work spot in the separate, door‑closed workspace. The decorative indoor fireplace adds a touch of charm, though it is not functional. Large windows in the sunroom bring the forest inside, and the décor emphasizes simple comforts without pretension.
Kitchen & dining
A full kitchen equips you to prepare hearty breakfasts or comforting dinners after a day of exploring. The adjacent dining area keeps everyone connected, making meals feel like a shared experience rather than a rush.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round, its warm bubbles especially inviting after a cold day. A private backyard includes a fire pit, BBQ grill, and picnic table, perfect for gathering around a flame or enjoying a quiet night under the stars. Lake access via a nearby path or dock adds a tranquil water element, even in winter. The yard is unfenced, so pets should be supervised.
Location & surroundings
A short 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal, where restaurants, shops, breweries, and wineries await. Shenandoah National Park is equally close, offering winter hikes and scenic drives through snow‑capped ridges. Free parking and a private entrance make arrival effortless.
Pet‑friendly details
Dogs are welcome and the cottage is family‑friendly, but cats are not allowed due to allergies. A slight smoke smell from previous owners may be noticeable to very sensitive guests. Leaves, pollen, and natural debris may appear on decks and walkways despite regular sweeping, reflecting the property's natural setting.
Perfect for
Couples seeking a peaceful escape, families wanting a cozy base, or friends looking for a quiet mountain hideaway. The blend of indoor comfort and outdoor serenity makes Sweet Pea Cottage an inviting winter haven.

Summary: Gravel road was a little rough on a motorcycle, and not much room to turn around in the driveway. Overall, a really good stay. Christina hooked us up!
