Fantastic Stay!
Comfortable, clean and peaceful! Cottage is a perfect place to stay while exploring the area. Jerry is one of the best hosts I have encountered, very thoughtful but respectful of privacy. He is available to help with suggestions to ensure you have the best trip possible. Would definitely recommend Jerry's place to anyone coming to the area and/or wanting to hike Old Rag!

Perfect place for Shenandoah
When I go back to the park, I will be staying here. Perfect location for access to Old Rag Mountain and the middle entrance of the park to drive north or south on Skyline Drive. The host couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly.

Cozy cottage
I loved staying at this cottage. Had everything I needed for my stay. Clean and comfy and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. This is the place for you if you are looking peace and quiet. It’s about 1 mile from the Old Rag trailhead. The views from the property are amazing. I would most definitely stay there again.

Cottage Near Old Rag
We had an amazing time spending the weekend at the cottage to celebrate our anniversary. Jerry was a wonderful host. The property is beautiful with a nice view of the mountains. Very peaceful. We enjoyed watching the deer and stargazing at night. Would definitely recommend doing the old rag hike. We took an easier route to the summit using the fire road. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area. Thanks Jerry!

Perfect long weekend spot
This cottage was the perfect getaway for myself and my partner. Great spot to unplug for a long weekend and easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. We were in awe of the night sky as there is little to no light pollution and platform to star gaze on the property. Place has everything needed to be comfortable and Jerry is sure to be accessible if you have questions or needs. Would definitely come back again!

Perfect getaway for a long weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was very cute and Jerry was very responsive and helpful, leaving the light on for us outside since we were arriving at night. This turned out to be very useful since it was quite dark and Google directions thought the house was about 100-200 feet before the actual driveway. Our dog LOVED the field behind the house and we spent many hours wandering around, seeing fox and deer at different times. There is also amazing stargazing (especially coming from DC), we went outside each night just to look up for a little while. The location was great for escaping the city, but also only 15 minutes from Sperryville, which we really enjoyed wandering through. We did get a chance to take advantage of the proximity to Old Rag, but will next time. We did do some apple picking at an orchard a few minutes drive away. The wifi was good for streaming and for my husband to do some work, but I don't know that I would trust it entirely if the two of us needed to be on video calls at the same time. Definitely looking forward to a future visit!

View!!!!
We loved our stay in Etlan! Jerry was a super host!!!!! Very nice remodel of old country home. Very clean and modern amenities. Plenty of linens! Best for a couple or maybe 3 people (pull-out bed). We took our 9 week-old puppy...oh my he loved the yard!! Rolled and rolled in the thick green grass. The view is so pretty from all windows. Very private, quiet area. 26 minutes to Front Royal, or 48 to Thornton Gap Entrances to Shenandoah Nat`l Park. 35 minutes to Luray! Recommend Skyline Drive and the Luray Caverns. We really enjoyed our stay!
