This was a last minute booking and Dena was amazing at communicating and accommodating us! The house was absolutely perfect and exactly as described! Charming, very clean, quiet, comfortable, relaxing. Would 100% recommend!
This is an amazing location for a cozy weekend. Updated and very clean. The host provided everything you could need; very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely visit again.
I have nothing to critique about our experience, at all. This property is my new, favorite Vrbo. It was the most clean property to date. The kitchen house has been remodeled in a very mindful, and beautiful style. The owners are very responsive and accommodating. The location is wonderfully central to many activities. Itâs quiet as well. The kitchen is exceptionally well stoked, and even had freezer bags. The historical adjective of the property was also something we appreciate. Stay here, and see what we are talking about!
The dog and I enjoyed our stay at the Summer Kitchen! It has been expertly modernized and outfitted with everything we needed. Dena was always very helpful and easy to reach with any questions. We would be delighted to return on another trip!
This is our second time here. The views of the mountains truly enhance the beauty of this location. The house is comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen has everything you need. The bed is super comfy. Pamper yourself with a stay here.
This place had EVERYTHING we needed. We came to visit our son at JMU and weren't sure if there would be any activities nearby. The town of Broadway had plenty to offer. Antiquing, throwing axes and great small town restaurants. We also went to Showalter's Orchard which was a short 15 minute drive with beautiful views and delicious cider. The cottage was spotless, smelled great, and was decorated very nicely. The host was quick to answer any questions and talk about the history. We will be back!
We loved our stay in the cozy summer kitchen! The home and decor are stunning- we loved it all! The accommodations were perfect - they had everything we needed and more. The owners were so friendly and were so great with communication. We definitely want to stay again
This cottage was a perfect staycation for my little family. It was decently close to a lot of what we wanted to do including going to Luray and hiking. We especially loved the patio area and spent every night by the fire.
The host was super quick to respond to messages also.
We will definitely be returning in the future and have already recommended this location to 3 of our friends!
We were in town for a wedding and needed a place to stay with our dogs -the 1830s kitchen exceeded our expectations! The downstairs has plenty of space to relax, eat, and watch TV (appreciated that some of the streaming services were logged in as a guest so we didn't have to remember our passwords!) Bed upstairs is comfortable and the shower is nice everything seems brand new. We appreciated the little touches like nice soap and lotion and toiletries if you forgot something.
The history of the place made it extra special. The host was amazing, super communicative, accommodating, and friendly. I wish all hosts were as great!
Should we be back in the area, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Stayed at the Summer Kitchen for a wedding in area. Home was very clean, had plenty of amenities and the host was great communicating. Location is close to everything but tucked away just enough to be very peaceful.
Beautiful old home me with lots of charm , comfortable living area with all the amenities. Close to multiple colleges and caverns. Close to breweries and wineries. Weâll definitely be back when I need another getaway in the area . Wanted to pick it up and bring it to my property.
What a perfect place! The house was clean, had everything we needed, and was perfect for our weekend near JMU. Dena was fantastic to work with, and we will definitely be going back in the future!
Perfection!! From the cottage to the host, everything you would hope for and more in a VRBO! Dena was gracious & accommodating with my reservation, helpful navigating an agenda & an delight to talk to. The cottage is cozy, quiet & immaculately clean!!
