The Space:
Steam curls from the hot tub as the cool mountain air settles around you, and the hush of the Shenandoah Valley greets each breath. Light filters through the sunroom’s large windows, painting the wooden walls with the soft glow of sunrise over quiet woods. Inside, warm lighting and simple comforts invite you to unwind, while the scent of pine drifts in from the private backyard. Even in winter, the sky unfurls a tapestry of stars that feels just for you.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably host up to four guests. The master bedroom features a queen bed, and the second bedroom offers a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for chilly nights. A spacious loft overlooks the living area, perfect for reading or gathering, but it is intended for lounging rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
Radiant heating keeps the cottage cozy throughout the colder months. A Smart TV and fast WiFi sit in the main living room, ideal for streaming or catching up on work at the dedicated workspace set in a separate room. The sunroom, framed by wooded views, is a serene spot for coffee or watching snowfall drift through the trees. An indoor fireplace adds decorative charm, though it is not functional.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is equipped for preparing hearty breakfasts or relaxed dinners after a day of exploring. A dining table anchors the space, encouraging shared meals and conversation without rush.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round, offering a soothing soak against the crisp air. A private patio, fire pit, BBQ grill, and picnic table provide multiple ways to enjoy the outdoors when the weather permits. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised. Lake access is just a short walk away, with a path leading to a dock for quiet moments by the water.
Location & surroundings
A 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal’s restaurants, shops, and local favorites. Shenandoah National Park is also about 15 minutes away, offering winter hikes and scenic drives. Breweries and wineries are within easy reach for relaxed outings any time of year.
Perfect for
Pet‑friendly and family‑oriented, Sweet Pea Cottage welcomes couples, small groups of friends, and families with children and dogs. Self check‑in, free on‑site parking, and a private entrance make arrival and departure effortless.
Notes
The indoor fireplace is decorative only. A very slight smoke smell may be noticeable to those highly sensitive, though most guests do not detect it. Natural leaves, pollen, and small debris may appear on the deck and walkways despite regular sweeping, reflecting the cottage’s woodland setting. Cats are not allowed due to allergies.
