The cottage was beautiful! It had such a romantic feel and there were lots of personal touches that were appreciated. I surprised my boyfriend with this trip for his birthday and we both had an amazing time. There’s a pond on the property that’s great for fishing. We caught so many fish! I definitely would recommend this to any couple looking for a cute getaway.

Roomy and private cabin with all the modern amenities. Just far enough from downtown Harrisonburg to be quiet but close enough to be handy. Best place we stayed on our trip traveling from North to South on Rt 81 avoiding Rt 95. Great selection of restaurants as well.

My wife and I recently went here to celebrate our 9th anniversary together. It was a lovely stay. Nice clean and quaint. We stayed in the water lily studio and it was perfect. We we walked in there was music playing as if it were inviting us to relax and enjoy our time. I enjoyed fishing in the pond on the property. We live locally and it was a great getaway for us. This will definitely be our go to place for local getaways.

We really enjoyed our getaway to Harrisonburg and this was a great place!! The location worked out well to downtown and the little touches made the stay even better!

Hi Everyone,My husband and I stayed in the Innkeepers Quarters for 3 nights the 2021 Memorial Day weekend and it was lovely! Very clean, spacious, and well-appointed. The kitchen was large with full accessories. Very close to shops and downtown Harrisonburg. Thank you!~Liz

This was our 2nd time here. Last year for our anniversary and this time for a Birthday, Loved it both times. The rooms are lovely and the grounds are beautiful. Close to stores and restaurants if you want to get out for a bit. I definitely recommend this for a nice couples getaway.

Our family had the pleasure of staying in the Water Lily and Mountain Laurel studios this past weekend. What a delight. All the essentials were waiting for us as well as all the little extra touches that make this property so special. The bedding was so cozy and comfortable. The porches had nice furniture which we used to the fullest looking out over the pond and listening to the birds. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the shower was so nice - we even had bathrobes waiting for us! The owners are so accommodating too! We will be back over and over when we come to visit family in the area! Thank you for everything Dennis and Janice!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here! The cottage was clean and we had everything we could have possibly needed. We were there to hike in Shenandoah, which was about 1 hour drive away (which was the only negative, as it of course would have been great if it were closer).

Soooo Wonderful and we will continue to be a repeat guest :))

This was an ideal place to stay for a couple of nights and relax. By far, my favorite Airbnb stay to date. They had everything we needed, the bed was awesome, the sheets were even more awesome and the location was perfect. Tucked away on the edge of town it was close enough to everything without being inner city. Harrisonburg was beautiful and the studio apartment we stayed in was the cherry on top of a fantastic getaway! Highly recommend.

Lovely stay in Bergey cabin. The place was very clean and comfortable and close to both downtown Harrisonburg and great hiking/swimming/scenic drives in both Va and WVa.

This was our 2nd time visiting. It was my husbands idea to make this staycation our 1st trip away after COVID-19. It was relaxing and very peaceful. We will return.

The cottage was very nice. I loved the two-sided fireplace. The location is in the city but I didnt feel like I was too close to others. Im a country girl. Being in a pandemic, ordering food from local restaurants was nice, and being in town our food was still hot when we got back to the cottage.

Beautiful. Small and cozy and beautifully decorated. Bed was super comfortable. Loved our little porch with a view of the pond. Spent some time on the dock as well. Owners are so kind and gracious in all our dealings with them. We hope to return soon.

This is such a great place to stay for work or travel. Property is very well managed and professional. The Water Lily suite was a great place to stay. This place would be perfect for a couples getaway or for bigger groups and family vacations. There were bigger suites and the full manor which looked great, but I didnt need a full house. Great location being close to downtown and close to the Shenandoah National Park as well as many other outdoor adventures. Would most definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the Water Lily Studio and it was perfect! Exactly the right size for a couples getaway. Robes in the bathroom, personalized welcome plate you see when you first walk in, coffee and snacks provided, it was amazing! We will definitely be repeat customers!

This was actually my 2nd stay here. In 2011, I came with my mother and some of her friends, and thought, Im definitely coming back here with my future husband... and this past weekend, I was able to fulfill my goal. Everything was perfect. All accommodations from start to finish, the weather, the town, everything. We vow to make this a yearly excursion!

We always pass through Harrisonburg on our way to visit family during the winter. This stay is always extremely cozy and comfortable. The owners are quick to respond and meet all of our needs.

A beautiful, charming place,to relax, and enjoy the surroundings. Cant wait to return.

Beautiful cottage perfect for our honeymoon getaway. Perfectly located in the mountains with great food and views. It was a great little home away from home.

Stayed here during our anniversary. It was a beautiful place along with personal touches. Will definitely stay again when we are in town!!

What a beautiful place fell in love 10 yrs ago here & still in love today!

Absolutely beautiful area, the accommodations were more than comfortable. Highly recommend, cannot wait to visit again.

My wife and I celebrated our 16 year anniversary during this pandemic and wanted to get away, but restrict our exposure to too many people. This was the prefect settings and the cottage was clear, cozy, and romantic. My wife enjoyed herself! Will visit again!!!

Very cozy and welcoming environment, loved the atmosphere and it was perfect to just get away and relax

Beautiful getaway in the lovely town of Harrisonburg. The cottage was very cozy and included everything we needed. cant wait to visit again in the near future.

This lodging location is beautiful and our “cottage” was perfect, especially after a long drive. Everything was very clean! We loved the private porch and the comfy recliners in the sitting area, to sit and watch a movie. I look forward to the chance to return!

Side of the Road Getaway Lodging was a fantastic getaway for my family and myself. The rooms were spotless and the attention to detail was fabulous. If you are seeking a getaway, this place should be considered.

Loved the Fitzgerald cottage. The spiral staircase and oh so comfortable bed. A peaceful and quiet getaway. Everything was top notch and well thought about. Will be back again. Such a shame that breakfast can’t be served again! Thank you for everything!Pat & Paul

Charming getaway!

Fantastic property & people!! Weve stayed in both the Manor House & most recently the Mountain Laurel Suite, its definitely our new favorite

I have more of a question than a review. Is it actually haunted? I’ve seen that it is supposed to be a haunted place in Virginia? Someone let me know please

My husband and I wanted to do something different for our 10 year anniversary. We wanted to explore Shenandoah and Spruce Knob while on this trip, so I was looking for something pretty close to those areas. I came across this adorable little cottage, and we both fell in love with it. Our favorite part was the fire place, along with the enormous whirlpool tub. This was definitely a trip we’ll always remember, and we will most definitely be back again!The Lederman’s

This is an awesome little getaway if you want to get away and restart your romance. You are close to everything but tucked away. Very romantic

One of the nicest places Ive stayed. The room and housing was lovely, the breakfast in the morning was the best breakfast Ive ever had, and the owners were very welcoming and gave plenty of information about things to do around town.

My wife and I recently stayed at By the Side of the Road cottages. We stayed in the Mountain Laurel Cottage. The stay was fantastic. The shower is amazing with the multiple head options. The beds are also very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again when in the area. Only minor issue is we wish they would supply a couple of extra towels, other than that the stay was perfect!!! Highly recommend it great value for what you get.

My wife and I stayed in the Quill cabin. We had a lovely weekend. Very small kitchen, but a lovely bathroom and bed. Perfect for a couples getaway. There were several close delicious restraunt options.

My husband and I stayed here for our One year wedding anniversary. It was the perfect weekend get away. We stayed in the Arbour of Hope room in the manor house. It was so quaint! The house has an adorable swing out front where I enjoyed my morning coffee. The breakfast was delivered promptly every morning and was just delicious. Janice and Dennis were the best hosts ever. Can’t wait to go back!

We have stayed twice at By the Side of the Road...once in-house and once in a cottage. Both stays were wonderful! We enjoyed our time meeting the owners and other guests during our in-house stay, but loved the privacy of our cottage stay! The breakfast was delicious both times! We are local to the area and have taken advantage of a getaway without having to travel too far. There are some wonderful restaurants close by! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit The Valley!

We have been guests at many B&Bs over the years and each one has had its own particular charm and ambience. However, the affinity to detail and personal attention provided us with a comfort level that was outstanding and a cut above the usual that one would expect.Our stay was for three nights at one of the cottages. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted by a soft instrumental melody that transported us from our normal day to day activities to another world that allowed us to take in and appreciate the day and set the tone for the rest of our stay at By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages.An outstanding breakfast was brought to our door each day by our innkeeper, Dennis Fitzgerald, and were prepared by his wife Janice who must have been a master chef in another life. After our daily travels there were wine cordials awaiting us as we got back to our cottage after dinner. We enjoyed them as we sat on the front porch and viewed the scenery along with our new friend Max, a small, young kitten who fit neatly on our laps.Our getaway was not exactly what we had expected, only much more and a temptation to return another time. Heartily recommended for a romantic environment and change of pace from the usual and made so due to the above reflections and hospitality of the innkeepers.Richard & Robinette George

By the Side of the Road became our home away from home while our son visited and then attended James Madison University. Every college visit became a mini-vacation. Our hosts were friendly and helpful….breakfasts were elegant and delicious…..our accommodations were luxurious. We have so many warm memories of our stays there. We loved it so much that last year we gifted our son and his significant other a weekend in one of the cottages. They both loved their stay!

My spouse and I went there for a romantic weekend to celebrate her birthday. We were so totally impressed with our cottages decor and that touch of class By the Side of the Road puts in everything they do. The bedding, appliances, wall hangings, furniture and entertainment center are all first class. The breakfast is homemade and absolutely delicious! They also have a small gift shop so we bought coffee mugs for ourselves and friends. Forgot to mention that the owners are the nicest people and go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasurable yet private stay. We also appreciated the discount coupons for dinner to the local Irish Pub who serve great food and lots of it for a minimal price. We plan on returning soon!

By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottage is a one of a kind gem. When you arrive dont be surprised if you are greeted by instrumental melodies. It will beckon you to sit by the window, daydream, and reflect.My girl friend and I were looking for a quiet retreat in a sweet little town to get away. By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottage was just that. We stayed in the Bishops retreat which reminded us of a peaceful cottage home overlooking the property.The breakfast is something I can still taste. The fruit topping on the croissants were made from scratch by the innkeeper and paired well with the warmed cream cheese.This bed and breakfast is definitely one of the top B&Bs Ive been too.

Wonderful service! We stayed in the 1790 Suite-- highly recommend.So spacious and romantic. Loved the claw bathtub and the extra reading room. The bed was so comfy and the food was incredible.Theres plenty to do in town and the area was really beautiful! Well for sure be back

My husband and I stayed here for a romantic getaway and didnt want to leave! A hot gourmet breakfast was at our door each morning - oh the luxury of not even having to leave the room! Our cabin was lovely - just the right size to create an intimate setting. The cabin was spotless, the bed so comfortable, and we loved the fireplace next to the whirlpool tub. We will definitely return!

Such a wonderful B&B! My husband and I have spent both of our post-deployment vacations there and loved every minute of it. It has the beat breakfasts that are delivered to you each morning, its close to the National Park, and always willing to make accomicatons for help your stay be amazing! Highly recommend to anyone!

This is a great place to get away and relax. Beautiful cottage that is cozy and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back! Thank you to the Fitzgeralds. Great place!!!

My husband and I loved our stay at By the Side of the Road Inn! The house is charming, the rooms were spacious, and the food was delicious! There is a lot to explore in the area, as well. The package we bought included gift certificates and discounts to local restaurants and wineries. The Inn even provided us with a stocked picnic basket for a lovely hike. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Me and my husband stayed in the Fitzgerald cottage in 2009. we absolutely loved it!! we got in late but thankfully the cottages have self check-in, lovely set up, quiet, quaint, and they even had a wonderful breakfast delivered in a picnic basket in the morning. I’ve been looking at other b&b’s for a while and nothing is quite like this one and i don’t think i could ever enjoy anywhere else, they’ve set my standards pretty high! can’t wait to go back one day!!

We enjoyed every single thing about our stay. The food was amazing. The room was cozy and nicely decorated. The innkeepers are friendly and attentive. We will certainly make this our go to getaway spot.

An exceptionally warm and inviting inn! The 1790 suites bedroom, complete with fireplace, and private rooftop deck, was extremely comfortable. Especially enjoyed the living room with breakfast area! Dont forget to buy some of the inns beautiful pottery mugs ☕️

We spent the first night of our honeymoon at By the Side of the Road 11 years ago. We were the first guests in the first of the cottages! It was the perfect night. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the atmosphere was so romantic. The Whirlpool tub in front of the fireplace, the spiral staircase....it was all perfect.Last year for our 10th anniversary we were among the first guests in the newest cottages on the pond. Again, the luxury was beyond words and the attention to detail was sublime. The breakfast was elegant and delicious and served in our room. We felt like King and Queen for a day.I highly recommend By the Side of the Road for your romantic luxury get-a-way!

We stayed in the small cottages next the main house. They were gorgeous! My husband and I enjoyed the comfortable beds and relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was delivered to our door each morning and it was scrumptious. It was a bit smaller than expected, but delicious none the less. We did miss out a little bit by not staying in the main house because we did not have a chance to interact at all with the other guests or the owners but the privacy of our own cottage took the bed and breakfast idea to a new level. Included in our stay was a cheese basket to take with us to the vineyards. Again is was smaller than expected but a nice additional touch. The B&B is near JMU which is where I went to school and I enjoyed revisiting campus and seeing how things had changed since I graduated. We enjoyed our little getaway!

One of our favorite Bed and Breakfasts! Quiet, charming and in a perfect location to kick back and relax or explore. Breakfast was gourmet quality and the owners gave us excellent recommendations on what the area had to offer. We enjoyed the local famers market, kayaking, and Joshua Wilton House restaurant (amazing!). Highly recommend this place! Wed love to go back.

I thought that the bed and breakfast was very nice. Me and my wife had a relaxing time there.I liked the fact that you were able to eat your breakfast privately in your room, rather than in a common space with other people. We would definitely consider going back.

Having stayed at By the Side of the Road several times in the past, we knew our recent get-away would be a treat but it even exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Mountain Laurel suite...across the pond from the main house; its beautiful. From the great shower to the comfortable bed to the private porch over-looking the pond and everything in-between, it was wonderful. We have previously stayed in several of the main house suites and a couple of the cottages and were very pleased; but the setting of the Spring Water Suites, over-looking the pond, is total tranquility. Then throw in that awesome gourmet breakfast and you pretty much have a perfect get-away. Janice and Dennis are wonderful inn-keepers and its quite obvious they are doing what they were called to do. From the comfortable accomodations to the great service they provide, they have truly carved out a beautiful retreat By the Side of the Road.

By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages is a very nice place for a nearby getaway. We stayed in a cottage, the Mountain Laurel Suite in April of 2013. I do not have experience with the Manor House, we only went there to check out. The property is next to a neighborhood type road, and the Mountain Laurel Suite is in one of 2 cottages across from the house on the other side of a little pond. If your suite is the closest to the road, you may hear cars going by. But where we stayed we could not hear them or see much of the road, just peaceful views of the pond. The cottage is not a bed and breakfast type of stay. A simple breakfast is provided, but its really about having a very private quiet and relaxing time. There are no activities on the property as far as I know. The cottage has TV / DVD player, coffeemaker and microwave with a small refrigerator. Its a perfect place to get away and relax.

Our stay was great. We stayed in the Fitzgerald cottage. May have been the most comfortable bed Ive ever slept in. Everything was very clean and very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and available when needed, while at the same time gave you the privacy youd want. A bit pricey, but worth it for the occasional splurge. Highly recommend it.

AMAZING B&B! I love the privacy of the cottages and the breakfast at the door each morning of the stay. The staff is wonderful and regardless of the occasion no detail is spared. For the past two years I have stayed here and plan to make it a yearly tradition. Thanks BTSOTR for always providing me with a great experience.

The room felt really tiny and the bed was comfortable along with the bedding and pillows. It was at a beautiful location where you could stargaze at night along with watching the sun set. The service provided by them was fine.

Great setting, great accommodations. Loved the breakfast. The water lily suite was perfect for us. Definitely set the bar higher for the next time my wife and I stay at a B&B

My gosh where do you start. The place is absolutely amazing and awesome. Its a beautiful old Inn and my room the 1790 room it was so cool. There is so many fun amenities like a walk out balcony from the bedroom. Its the actual old roof and under the highest roof area. Really cool. Also some convenient options a microwave and refrigerator is available right outside your door. Ice buckets are in the freezer for your fun use. The room was beautiful and feels so historical. I was meeting my family for some fun Jeep off roading near here. The owner Dennis was so cool and let me meet him earlier and get my keys. But he didnt charge me for a early check in. He showed me all the delivery places as I would have a late arrival after my fun family day. So got pizza and wings delivery. Also lots of other options for those that have a particular pallet. It has the possibility of paranormal activity as it was a Civil War hospital. Many people have experienced cool things here. It has a peaceful vibe and is very welcoming. I cant speak for everyone and cover all the nice things this visit is to everyone. However most likely you will love this historical place and feel loved by the family that owns it. God bless all and good luck on your stays. Rob Hunt.

I stayed in the Manor House Suites with two of my friends for a girls weekend back in April 2008. The three of us were in the 1790 Suite and had a fun, relaxing weekend exploring Harrisonburg! I still remember our names being written on the welcome board by our lovely hosts and the delicious breakfast they cooked for us. I recommend By the Side of the Road for your next weekend getaway, the Manor House is absolutely beautiful!~JackieWashington, DC

Cute place, easy to find, came with more amenities than I expected! They did a wonderful job of accommodating our dietary restrictions and cooked a delicious breakfast both of the two days we stayed.

Stayed in the 1790 Suite for Parents Weekend 2013. The extra room with the day bed was great for our 13 year old to have his own space. Enjoyed the breakfasts both days and the pond next door is a nice attraction to take a short walk to. Only 5 minutes from downtown and JMU, but also very quiet and more interesting than the commercial area with hotels on the east side of I81.Will stay again next time we are visiting.

My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary by spending a weekend at By the Side of the Road Inn and we loved it! It was the perfect get-away (thanks to our children) and we cant wait to go back. In addition to the excellent services of the Inn, we loved the area including the local wineries and farms. You will love this B&B!

Stayed in the Fitzgerald Cottage. It is very cozy amd romantic. Perfect for a Valentines and Birthday get away for my wife. The cottage had a marvelous deep jetted tub fireside. The bed is luxurious and spacious.

I actually didnt stay here myself. Instead, this was a wedding gift for my brother and his new wife. I got them two nights here for their honeymoon. Everyone associated with the place made booking the nights for my brother very easy. And, they went out of their way to decorate. They even checked in with me afterwards to make sure everything had gone as planned. My brother absolutely raved about the Inn, the service, the people, and the cats. Based on his report, I hope to stay here someday myself. My brother also stated that it was in a great location for visiting area wineries.

Even though I have not been to a lot of Bed & Breakfasts, I was extremely pleased with By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages. It was the little details when we arrived, the sheets on the bed, which were amazing (I still need to purchase those), and the delicious breakfast that was delivered daily to our door. We stayed in one of the cottages, and the whole experience was something to remember. This is a place that I would go back to again, and again.

Weve stayed here three times. Absolutely out favorite B&B. The cottages are awesome! 5 stars is a complete understatement.

My wife, our newborn baby and I stayed at By the Side of the Road a few months ago as a special getaway before my wife returned to work after maternity leave. Even though I failed to find a place for us to go before the week before, By the Side of the Road had a room available - during peak leaf season - and was one of the few such establishments in the Harrisonburg area that had accommodations for children.The hospitality was wonderful. Even though we only stayed one night, everything was ready when we arrived to check in, and the staff was warm, friendly and helpful. This was our first experience with a B and B, and we will definitely back. From help picking an appropriate restaurant, to suggestions on things to see on our way back to Northern Virginia, to the the wonderful breakfast, we couldnt have asked for more, especially at such a reasonable price. Like I wrote earlier, we will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Janice and Dennis are wonderful hosts. They have a high attention to detail. Everything was wonderful. We will definitely stay again

Loved my stay! We stayed at the Spring Water Cottage Suites. So peaceful and loved every minute! Breakfast was delivered right to our door. Cant wait to return soon!

Perfect location, beautiful accommodations, quiet and private, cordial hosts, and my granddaughter and I enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing ...much needed retreat. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the area!

The absolute best get-away in Harrisonburg! The room was tranquil and breakfast was delicious! I will definitely visit again soon!

We were a little surprised by the location of By the Side of the Road, though shouldnt have been as its in the name! However, that surprise was overwhelmed by our enjoyment of the cottage including all its amenities: from the pints of Guinness in the fridge and the coupon for the pub down the road to breakfast delivered to our door and the cozy bed and Comphy sheets. It was a great getaway!

Very nice luxury cottages, stayed at the fitzgerald and greatly enjoyed it. Love learning the history behing the fitzgerald cottage as well as the manor house, staff did an excellent job preparing the room and adding a bunch of nice added touches to take our experience to the next level. Everything was really clean, the bed, linens and 120 gallon bath was amazing thanks for the stay hope to come again soon!!!

We thouroughly enjoyed our stat a Side of the Road Inn and Cottages. The room was very pretty and comfortable. We loved the soft sheets! Breakfast was very attractively presented.

We stayed here for two days and it was beautiful, quiet, and just all around lovely. The breakfasts were great and they even did gluten-free food that was wonderful.

(( Review trimmed to essentials ))The Mountain Laurel Suite was lovely, breakfast was delicious and extra touches (chocolate, port, champagne, stocked fridge) made for a special 10 year anniversary and long-overdue JMU homecoming. There was tons to do for local entertainment / tourism, and amazing restaurants in Court Square. 5 stars!That said, we couldve skipped your assertion that immigrants in subsidized housing on food stamps caused the citys recent population spike.Believe me, 9,000 Mexicans didnt suddenly decide to freeload in your remote, podunk college town that is rife with ignorant, racist locals.I dont regret spending the $370 on an awesome weekend, but frankly, we left your place very upset. I recommend you make the checkout chat optional going forward and dont go there with any future guests.------------------------------------------------new comments:Yes, you deserve 5 stars for the facilities, food and service...top notch. Minus 2 for the weirdness.We were reacting to your assertion on immigration (above), your elaboration on the topic, and your obvious displeasure. If you did not believe that position re immigrants, then your words confused us both, independently, and led us to the same conclusion, independently. Things got weird when my wife revealed shes an immigrant. It put a poor context on your comments re her obvious accent and her fortunate naturalization status.I used to live here in the mid-90s and although a Friendly City, its absolutely fair to note theres palpable racism everywhere in the rural South, and sometimes its expected to be politely dismissed. My point above was not election fallout or salt in an old wound. What I heard begged my response that Mexican immigrants are hard workers following jobs, not random freeloaders on subsidized housing and food stamps.We both left speechless/shocked, got to the car then said to each other, What the heck just happened in there?! Weve traveled together all over the world and this was a first.

We spent our 15th wedding anniversary here in August of 2012. We stayed in one of the cottages and it was very relaxing. Breakfast was amazing and hospitality was superb. We will definately stay again, but hopefully longer next time.

We have stayed at By the Side of the Road Cottages twice now. My husband and I went on our anniversary, and enjoyed every minute of our stay, The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The owners go the extra mile to make you feel pampered.

Beautifully furnished, clean rooms, a lovely & helpful family who runs the inn, and an excellent breakfast! It was a wonderful way to spend an anniversary.

An awesome experience extremely friendly & professional from A-Z and the breakfast was delicious, I would not hesitate to come back here again

I wanted to try something different for my fiancés birthday so I began looking for bed and breakfast spots outside of Hampton Roads. I liked what I saw from the website but absolutely LOVED our stay. I chose the Fitzgerald cabin with the Romance package and it was simply breathtaking from the time we opened the door. The staff at BTSOTR really out-did theirselves. From the rose petals on the bed to the soft music as soon as we came in to the large jacuzzi tub, all I can say is BRAVO!! We HIGHLY recommend this bed and breakfast to any couple who wants a romantic getaway.

My husband and I had the opportunity of utilizing a groupon voucher to venture out to Harrisonburg VA and have a 2 night stay at By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages. We had never been out that way and found the area of the Inn to be rather interesting when we pulled up (we were expecting something a bit more secluded). Our stay turned out to be rather enjoyable and the accomodations were wonderful. We stayed in one of the spring water suites and it was well furnished and we enjoyed having a small back deck overlooking the pond. The traffic on the road once inside really didnt bother us much at all. The proximity of the Inn to area attractions was wonderful and there are some good local restaurants to try. The breakfast provided was very tasty. I ended up chatting with one of the Inn keepers during checkout and she was very nice. Overall it was a good trip. I do have to say that furniture wise, at times it was a bit uncomfortable (the two chairs in front of TV could be a bit more comfortable and bed seemed too soft, but sheets were great) but we really werent in the room too much to have it be of any issue. Would probably visit again if the opportunity came up.

Nice, cozy accomadations in close proximity to downtown Harrisonburg and Shenandoah National Park.

I found this little gem on Living Social. It was an absolutely perfect weekend escape when my husband came back from serving in Afghanistan for a year. The owners were so welcoming and gave us a tour of the inn upon arrival. The Bergey cottage was so cozy and the homemade breakfast was delicious! The sunset view from our porch was beautiful. We also enjoyed a day at Bluestone Winery with a picnic basket that was packed for us with a great selection of cheeses, crackers, and pound cake. Downtown Harrisonburg is right down the road and filled with some neat restaraunts and shops that we explored. We really enjoyed the privacy and the chance to get away from everything for a weekend.I would definitely come back for a weekend of relaxation.

This was a last minute getaway as our spring break plans fell through. My wife and I stayed in the Bergey Cottage from 29 March - 2 April 2015. We werent sure what to expect since we knew nothing about this Inn. We were pleasantly surprised and we really enjoyed our stay. What we loved most was the fact that we didnt have to get dressed to get breakfast, as it was brought right to our door in a basket. The only down side to that is, should you wake up early and hungry, you better have snacks in the room with you since breakfast is delivered at certain times. I believe for us in the cottage, breakfast was delivered around 9:00. Breakfast alternated each day between sweet and savory. The cottage is cute and split down the middle where the bed/living/dining area is on one side and the bathroom/tub/shower on the other. A little too cozy with the open ceiling when you or your partner need to use the bathroom. We just turned on the music to have a little privacy. Some complained that the inn was too close to the road. Um...look at the name, should be no surprise there. We barely heard any traffic...not the busiest street. We loved the area. Harrisonburg is easy to navigate and there is plenty to do. I was able to get three rounds of golf in. The course I enjoyed the most was right down the road. My wife was able to get some much needed pampering at a local spa. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, and the cottage is equipped with a microwave and small refrigerator for any leftovers you may have. The room also has the essentials...tv, dvd player, radio w/ cd player and usb hook up, coffee maker, etc. The Inns owners make the experience even more comfortable by littering the entire property with beautiful aspects of their family. Upon entry into our cottage, we were greeted by beautiful family pictures that gave the place an even more, home away from home feel. The owners and inn keepers are there if you need them, willing to give you a tour and answer any questions you might have. However if you want to be left alone, you wouldnt even know they were there. James Madison University is close by, however this felt nothing like a college town. We would definitely go back!

Hubby & I dont get away much & we needed some much needed R & R-OMG this place was perfect,more than we could have asked for. We entered our cottage to soft music playing, A personalized welcome plate, candles in the windows, small porch w/2 chairs, sm. table & an ashtray. Inside gas fireplace, tv, books, treats, microwave, sm. frig. The bathroom was to die for. Lg. 2 person spa tub. candles. lighter, robes, slippers & bath supplies. The fireplace can be seen/felt in both rooms. The bed was super comfy. The breakfasts were delivered to us in a picnic basket-they were hot & yummy . We spent the majority of our time in our room & enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was super friendly & couldnt have been more accomadating. The cottage was spotless; tastefully decorated & so cozy.cant wait to return!!!

The food was really good, service/staff was friendly, and the cottage was very comfortable.

Great view! Very personable proprietors!

Omg the most amazing place to get away for a weekend

Great place to stay

Truely AMAZING!!!!

In truth I want to have more time to visit Harrisonburg Virginia and be able to know many more places than there was opportunity to be in these passes on holiday December. I hope that for the next time, which will probably be in the summer, I can meet beautiful places like this and see the opinions written here.
