This is a cozy cabin at the far end of Weakly Hollow, just before the end of the road and White Oak Canyon and Old Rag trailheads. We enjoyed the fire pit and the well-appointed kitchen. In addition to the trails, there are some cute general stores nearby, and charming Sperryville a few miles away, which was having its annual Sperryfest while we were there. The host, Bill, was friendly and reliable. All in all, a lovely weekend.

We had a very nice stay at the cabin! Very cozy and furnished with everything you need. We walked right down the road to the White oak Canyon Trail and drove only about 25 minutes to hike Old Rag. Everything was fairly clean aside from many ladybugs (we probably saw 50-80 during our stay) throughout the home especially in the living room. The fire pit was very nice and wifi worked well! Bill was responsive to my messages and very helpful with information about the cabin and area. Overall a good trip and would recommend!

Excellent hiking base

We loved staying here as the perfect base for our Old Rag hike as well as White Oak Canyon (which is SO close!). Surrounded by woods, we heard so many birds and saw lots of stars in the evening. It was just what we needed.

Can’t Beat The Location

Immediately adjacent to multiple trailheads; this quaint property is the best. The property manager was great to communicate with - tips ahead of time, all of the info we needed to have an easy arrival and check-in, and the property had lots of little touches (local hiking maps and info; restaurant recommendations, and appropriate kitchen/cooking items) to make our stay great. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect little getaway

My partner and I stayed here for two nights as we visited Shenandoah National Park. The cottage is in a great location and has a great deli up the road ten minutes. We loved our quick drives to Sperryville, the park, and hikes such as Old Rag. We really loved this cottage and how remote it was-playing cornhole in the yard, sitting out near the fire, etc. We will remember this darling cottage forever and hope to return some day!!

The property was perfect for my four year old son and my stay. We were able to easily walk to the white oak canyon trailhead which was our goal. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Nothing fancy, just country living. We went out to eat at Graves mountain lodge as well as the Bavarian Chef, and recommend both of them.

Perfect location for hiking White Oak and Old Rag, and explore Shenandoah Skyline Drive. Comfy accomodations,clean linen, bath and kitchen, but few too many bugs and spider webs inside and outside. Has good Wi-Fi access needed in the valley location. Bathroom window crank broken and had to be pushed shut from outside.
