The Space:
The crisp mountain air greets you as you step onto the porch, steam curling from the hot tub while the valley hush settles around the cottage. Snow‑kissed trees frame the sunroom, where sunlight filters through large windows onto warm wooden floors. Inside, soft lighting and simple comforts invite you to unwind, sip coffee, and watch the world drift by.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms comfortably sleep up to four guests. The master bedroom offers a queen bed, and the second bedroom features a set of bunk beds. Fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for chilly nights. A spacious loft provides a cozy spot to read or gather, though it is intended for lounging rather than sleeping.
Living spaces
Radiant heating keeps the interior snug during winter months. A Smart TV and fast WiFi support quiet evenings or remote work, and a dedicated workspace with a door offers privacy for focused tasks. The sunroom looks directly into the surrounding woods, perfect for sipping coffee while watching snowfall drift through the trees. An indoor fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is equipped for preparing hearty breakfasts or relaxed dinners after a day of exploring. A dining area seats the whole group, encouraging shared meals and conversation.
Outdoor living
The hot tub is available year‑round, especially inviting on cold evenings. A private backyard includes a fire pit, BBQ grill, picnic table, and a private patio or balcony for outdoor meals. Lake access is provided via a nearby path and dock, adding a tranquil water element to your stay. The yard is not fully fenced, so pets should be supervised.
Location & surroundings
A short 15‑minute drive brings you to downtown Front Royal, where restaurants, shops, breweries, and wineries await. Shenandoah National Park is also about 15 minutes away, offering winter hikes and scenic drives. Free parking and a private entrance make arrival and departure effortless.
Perfect for
Pet‑friendly and family‑oriented, Sweet Pea Cottage welcomes couples, small groups of friends, and guests traveling with dogs. Cats are not allowed due to allergies.
Notes
A very slight smoke smell remains from previous owners; most guests do not notice it, but very sensitive travelers may prefer another option. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, yet natural leaves and pollen may still be present, especially in certain seasons. Enjoy the unhurried pace and simple comforts of this mountain retreat.
