Find Your Serenity in this Charming Farm Cottage with Incredible Mountain Views-40 minutes to Bryce Ski Resort and 60 minutes to Massanutten Ski Resort. There are local breweries and wineries nearby. Civil War history and caverns nearby as well. The space Located in the small town of Bergton, 30-miles west of Harrisonburg, VA, our cottage sits atop a bluff overlooking peaceful pastures where you'll enjoy your own 60 private acres and direct access to the German River. Relax on the front porch rockers with a drink to enjoy the sunrise and sunset or hike (moderate hike) down to the German River to search for blue holes for a refreshing swim or bring your fly rods for a chance at a native Brook Trout. (Subject to seasonal water levels that can vary widely. Cannot guarantee that water will be at ideal flow levels during your stay.) The German River is the principal tributary of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, thus the water is clear. The river is an amazing hike if the water levels are lower. You will find everything from Minnows to Eagles to Crawdads. For catfish , bass, and trout fishing, check out Tomahawk Pond (George Washington National Forest) which is a scenic 30 minute drive. At night, warm up by the gas fireplace in front of the cottage. Look up and see the Milky Way and the occasional shooting star. This property is in a rural setting, so the star gazing on clear nights is exceptional! Indoor gas fireplace as well. Turn the Bose speaker up to full volume without worrying about neighbors! Enjoy your private mountain retreat with loved ones and friends. You will be in love with this farm and won't want to leave, so we encourage you to shop for groceries on your way here. There is a Food Lion and Super Wal-Mart in Timberville (a 19 mile drive) as well as a drug store, and a Sentara Health Center. For those looking for more adventures, the nearby Lost River State Park offers uncrowded and pristine access to the outdoors where you'll find horseback riding, mountain biking, and miles of hiking trails. Lake Laura is also a popular destination and is 30 miles away. ***Dogs allowed if well-behaved and over one year of age. $50 per fee. Owner responsible for any damages done by dogs.
