Wonderful Overnight Stay

The Cottage was a perfect getaway. We had an incredible dinner at the Three Blacksmiths and then walked the short distance to the cottage for our overnight stay.

Beautiful Property

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Sperryville. This property is located within walking distance (2 min) to markets and restaurants and was about a 9 minute drive to The Inn at Little Washington. Skip the cottages at Little Washington and stay here for your next visit.

Cute Cottage in Perfect Location

We needed a place to stay overnight after going to dinner at Inn at Little Washington. This place was the cutest and right in Sperryville so we could take a stroll to the cafes and shops. There is a nice grass backyard with seating and right next to the river. I wish we could have stayed longer and would love to come and stay again.

Sperryville stay

The river cottage was perfect for a couple’s weekend get away! I’ve always enjoyed Sperryville, but staying in the downtown made me love it even more! The cottage is right next door to a coffee shop and at the beginning of a trail that takes you along the river to all the sights. Very comfortable and clean. Will stay again!

Weekend at 3 Blacksmiths and Patty'O's

This property has everything you could want for a wonderful weekend stay. It is very comfortable and well appointed. An actual 2 minute walk to the Three Blacksmiths! My only upgrade wish - a king size bed - plenty of space for one.

Lovely retreat in Sperryville VA

We were delighted with our stay at the River Cottage. Tastefully and comfortably appointed, the cottage is very roomy with a well-stocked kitchenette and amenities for a cozy stay-in. It’s a pretty spot by the river with a dock and chairs perfect for hanging out and relaxing to the sounds of birds and flowing water. The cottage is located in charming downtown Sperryville with Before and After coffee shop right next door (delicious coffee and baked goods), cute shops, a market, and restaurants (with bar) within walking distance. We loved our stay and look forward to returning to this marvelous cottage in a great location to take partake in some of the many wine tasting tours and to simply enjoy the beautiful Virginia countryside.

Perfect!

Perfect location for our dinner at Three Blacksmiths! Woke up and had breakfast and coffee next door and walked the river path which is right out the door. Walked through town and visited local shops and finished our morning in Little Washington. Our next stay here will include hiking during the day, dinner again at Three Blacksmiths and will definitely visit the local pizza restaurant a quick walk down the street for lunch.

Perfect!

The location in the middle of the tiny town of Sperryville was ideal for walking around the restaurants, cafes, and galleries, The place was clean, fresh, modern, and nicely appointed. And the separate deck overlooking the small river was ideal for coffee in the morning and wine at night after a long hike. We plan on returning soon.

The Good - Great communication with Host and response time to requests were quick. Good location to places in Sperryville, many within walking distance. The Not So Good - Need to do something more about the ants. While there were several traps in the bathroom, the kitchenette had ants with no visible traps. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the River Cottage.

Peaceful Getaway

The River Cottage was the perfect place to get away for our 10 year anniversary. The space is small and cozy without feeling cramped, at all. We watched movies, walked the trail and enjoyed coffee on the deck for two peaceful days. Thank you so much! P.S. The coffee shop next door is amazing too. They accommodated my allergies without question and made the best oatmilk latte with honey Ive ever had!
