Cottage vacation rentals in Lake of the Woods

Peaceful quiet getaway. Felt completely at home

Fantastic place to get away. Thanks for hosting

This home is perfectly situated away from it all, but close enough to activities that you can easily set out of multiple day trips. The Thornton Gap entrance to Shenandoah is only 20 minutes away and the town of Luray (and grocery stores and restaurants) is also about 20 minutes drive. The home itself is clean and feels private. Having separate temperature control in every bedroom was a huge bonus. Arrival procedure, check in and out, and the overall cleanliness of the home were great and really made this a wonderful vacation stay.

I had a wonderful stay at Chris and Sandy’s farm guesthouse. It was very easy to find and exceeded my expectations. They were the best hosts and I would definitely return. I especially loved feeding the donkey, Jasper. Sandy and Chris went out of their way to make it feel like home for us. Thanks again for the Yoder’s icecream recommendation, we loved seeing the free petting zoo.

This is a lovely farm with several cottages and homes available for stays. The grounds are spectacular with pastures filled with horses, gorgeous ponds, and amazing landscapes. The servants cottage met our needs perfectly. We stayed for only one night while traveling home to NY after snowbirds a couple months further south. I have family nearby and hope to stop here again in the future for a longer time. The cottage was well kept with a BBQ grill that my husband happily made our dinner on! There was also a portable fire pit that we enjoyed while having our after dinner cocktails. Super responsive and helpful! We highly recommend staying at this farm and can't wait to go back.

Had a wonderful stay within walking distance to Lake Anna. The house was amazing and perfectly suited for our guests. The home was clean and inviting from the moment we arrived. We would love to come again and stay for a future trip. Highly recommend.

We’ve stayed in the pond house now twice and love it!! Grilling while looking down on pond is very relaxing! The house is great and the surroundings are amazing!!! Looking forward to another trip with my family!

Beautiful hideaway in the middle of the snowy woods and only a quick drive to the grocery store, restaurants and wineries! Loved relaxing by the fire and enjoying the scenery. This place is the perfect weekend getaway to decompress and enjoy nature. Also spotlessly clean, especially given it’s dog friendly! Cant recommend enough!

A beautiful home in a peaceful and relaxing setting. The home was well cared for and very clean. As soon as we arrived we were excited to sit out back around the fire pit and enjoy the evening stars. We enjoyed all of the amenities the home had to offer. Lots of space to walk and enjoy the outdoors. The host was very responsive to all our questions prior to booking and all of their instructions were easy to follow. Thank you for the great experience.

Our family enjoyed our time at Patti’s place. The place is comfortable and easy to navigate. The outdoor seating areas are relaxing and great for star gazing.

great spot, very close to battlefield and downtown Fredericksburg.

Off the road enough to make it perfect for little ones, including trail to walk around a bit.

Very peaceful and lots of nature and animals to see

Erica was a super-friendly, pro-active and very responsive communicator who gave clear and helpful responses and instructions. Fantastic dealing with her. The snacks/treats and coffee provided were an unexpected but really welcome treat after days hiking in the mountains. Great location for access to Charlottesville and surrounding mountains, wineries and brewpubs. A couple distant trains roll through during the night, but a little white noise from my phone easily negated that. Highly recommend!

This place was perfect for our weekend getaway. The cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable, plus close to so many hikes in Shenandoah national park. The hosts really thought of everything, from coffee to cookware and even having the fire pit filled with brush so we could easily have a fire. The location is nestled in the mountainside and is SO quiet, coffee overlooking the mountains and hills with nothing but the sounds of nature was therapeutic. We are already talking about planning our next trip back!

We had a great stay! This is the CLEANEST Airbnb I’ve ever been to. Very beautiful area and scenery, and perfect distance from Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. Valerie was very responsive and helpful when needed. The only suggestion would be to take a car that can handle a somewhat steep and rocky driveway.

Great place to stay in Fredericksburg with a great location near downtown.

Great space! Clean and spacious. 5 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic stay overall. The host was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We made an oversight during our booking in that we didn't notify in advance that we were bringing a pet, but once we explained the issue and discussed it with the host, she was very accommodating and allowed us to pay the pet deposit and stay. She has two small puppers who tagged along with us on several walks around the property (highly recommend walking up Bruce's Mountain for a spectacular view!). Would happily return for another stay in the future.

We really enjoyed our weekend at the cottage. Beautiful setting and loads of activities in the valley.

We had a wonderful trip and great time. Enjoyed the cleanliness, backyard with fire pit and perfect location.

What a perfect place to stay to enjoy Old Rag! Less than 1.5 miles to the trailhead, it was a tranquil, serene retreat that was just perfect. We would definitely stay here again!

Cottage was very comfortable and filled with alot of beautiful and eclectic furniture and art work. The heat system kept the house cozy. Very charming place! Nice landscaping too, which will begin to show itself as Spring decides to stick around. We had our dog and he gives 2 paws up for the big yard. House is not located in the nicest of areas but it was quiet, felt safe and is well situated to great places like Shenandoah Valley and Skyline Drive, Gordonsville, Orange, Sperryville and even Front Royal, Flint Hill and Little Washington are an easy day trip. And Culpeper also a quaint small town with several good restaurants and lots of shops. It was a really nice time.

Gordon was a warm, welcoming host to his beautiful cabin. We had a lovely stay and would be eager to return in the years to come!
