Wedding Weekend in South River Cottage
The cottage is sprawling with 3 spacious sitting areas, two with great views of the mountains and the ponds on the property. We were a party of 5 adults and it was more than enough room for us. The hosts supplied paper goods, sheets, towels and coffee fixings. It is 10 minutes away from the Barn at Edgewood where we attended a beautiful wedding. There are antique stores and wineries nearby. The hosts checked in with us during our stay. We highly recommend renting this cottage!

Wide open space
The location beautiful, quiet and serene. The house is much larger and roomier than it looks from outside. Everything was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. We will definitely want to come back. The only tip I will give is to not come up the service road entrance to the house because it is rough if you are not driving a truck. Go to the next driveway and go up that driveway instead. It is part of the owners property and a much better driveway.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would definitely do it. The cottage is all you can dream of. Better in real than on the photos. I wish we would have stayed much longer (4 nights) as it was such a beautiful and relaxing cottage. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the sun room. The location is great, just a short 15-20 min drive to Shenandoah National Park. The cottage has everything you need and more. And finally, the host Judy has been so accommodating. A big thank you to such a great host. Definitely the place to stay when visiting this part of VA.

We had a delightful time in this cozy and comfortable cottage home. It was very room, with all the different living areas to enjoy. The mountain views surrounding the property are amazing. The small town of Standardsville was delightful. Everyone was so kind. Our meal at the Lafayette Inn was wonderful. We are already talking about our next stay.

Perfect farm cottage
Cottage was very clean and comfortable. Hosts were accommodating by providing basic spices, coffee and eggs in the kitchen. Plenty of towels and lots of space in the house to spread out. Loved seeing the cows in the pastures. Had a wonderful stay at this property,

A slice of heaven
While it is true, as other reviews have suggested, that this fabulous place is a tad off the beaten trail, it is soooooo worth it. The drive through the country to get there was restorative all on its own! Privacy with a view out of every window. Every amenity one could need has been provided. The quiet of the country is soothing, but adventures of every sort are not that far away. In fact, there is a world class pizza place a mere 7 minutes away:) Directions are clear; expectations are detailed in a helpful fashion. We truly want to come again....

My hubby & I really enjoyed “the cottage on the farm”, it was very peaceful & relaxing. It is off the beaten path….Great location…easy to get to. We seen deer, a fox, & we believe a ground hog, not really sure….it did go in a hole!🤣 If you’re ever in the area, we highly recommend this place. Judy has great communication!

We would recommend this place to anyone. Location is perfect for vineyards and access to Shenandoah National Park. Judy was an amazing host. The place was very well stocked with items for cooking. We had ordered steaks from her farm and they were so delicious, we even took some home. The accommodations made you feel at home. The sun room was our favorite room. It was so peaceful and quiet.

This was our second stay at Judy's property. We had such a great time the first time, we invited family to join us for our second visit. Once again, Judy was very accommodating, and her cottage was immaculate. We especially enjoyed the breathtaking views of the mountains. We look forward to going again soon.
