About this cottage rental
Tucked away in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, this charming riverside cottage offers a peaceful retreat on 5 scenic acres. Located in Elkton, Va. and flanked by the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the Massanutten range to the west, it’s the ideal spot to unwind and recharge. Just a short walk through the trees brings you to the Shenandoah River, perfect for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or cooling off with a swim. Or simply relax with a warm drink and a good book as the river gently flows by.
Inside, the cottage features modern comforts including a spacious first-floor bedroom with a king-size bed, a full bathroom, cozy living room, well-equipped kitchen, and a counter-height dining area. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a second living space with an open floor plan that includes (1) queen bed and (2) bunk beds, great for families or groups. This area also has its own full bathroom and a separate entrance.

Nearby attractions include the Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Cave Hill Farms, the Montpelier Wine Trail, Skyline Drive, Massanutten Resort, and the Elkton Downtown Historic District.

Enjoyed our stay at the Cottage on the Shenandoah River. Easy access to main highway and centrally located. Enjoyed our hikes on Skyline Drive during the morning and then went paddle boarding in the evening. House was very clean and the host was responsive if you had any questions. Would highly recommend this the cottage. The fire at night was a plus!
