Great location to Bridgewater College. Was perfect for a few days there for graduation. Close to all the local Bridgewater restaurants. Would be a great option for parent weekend or Homecoming.
This cottage was the perfect place for us! It's in a very quiet neighborhood near a park that has a trail by the river and plenty of picnic tables. There is a grocery store nearby, good restaurants and just about anything else you would need. The house was spotless and we arrived to find snacks, and milk, eggs and butter already in the fridge. We highly recommend!
Lovely home on the river. The outdoor porch is a wonderful place for early morning coffee or an evening dinner. Two small parks are within walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet. You do not have to go up any stairs to enter the property or while you are on the property. The fire pit looked amazing, but we did not light a fire due to the current drought conditions and high winds. Close to many attractions in the valley and minutes from Harrisonburg and JMU and EMU.
The house is great. The location is very quiet, and the river running behind the house was a lot of fun for the boys to fish in. Exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this location.
The cottage is exactly as advertised, but the outdoor area is even prettier than in the photos. The covered patio is perfect for hanging out, and the river is beautiful. A bald eagle flew right by us! The nearby parks are great if you like to walk.
We were in town for baseball tournament. The house was the perfect location. We had everything we needed with plenty of space. The yard was perfect for kids to play and have a cookout. The neighborhood was fantastic also with walk to park for my youngest child to play on playground. The boys swam in the river. Would stay here again.
