shar,
thank you so much for eveything. you were so sweet and made sure we were always taken care of. your place was so clean and had everything we needed. we really enjoyed the view and the privacy. this retreat was definitely a home away from home. the cottage was perfectly located- we loved sitting on screened in patio (no bugs! :]) and eating breakfast while enjoying the breathtaking view of the river and mountains. the stars were incredible at night- a huge change from baltimore! being so close to shenandoah national park and all the caverns gave us so much to do. we will definitely be back!
thank you so much :]

A Quiet Getaway

My wife + I would like to thank Shar for her kindness + help during our stay. The cottage is very charming and was a nice little getaway for us. Our only bad experience was the weather when we stayed- big storm came through in the evening and knocked out the power for a little bit. Shar was very helpful and checked up on us to make sure we were ok. Thanks again Shar. We would definately recomend staying here and enjoying the Shenandoah area.
Owner's Response: Hi Again Guys,
The pleasure was all mine, you were not only delightful & friendly people you took excellant care of the cottage.
I am truly sorry about the storm that isn't normal, but you handled it like real troopers!
I too look forward to seeing you again, hopefully with better weather!!
Sincerely,
Shar

We came to Luray for our Spring Break with our daughter. The cottage is close to everthing in Luray. and close enough to drive to the natural Bridge and even DC. Two hours to both places. the cottage offered everything we needed to have a comfortable vacation. right down to the fluffy towels. My daughter and husband loved the fire pit, where we ended each of our night. My husband and I even plan to come stay again just for a romantic weekend. Thanks for making us feel right at home!!

Lovely bungalow overlooking the river

We enjoyed our stay at Bittersweet! The home is located right over from the river, so you can hear the water rushing from the house - very peaceful at night! The screened in porch looks right over the river, providing a beautiful view. The cottage is very cozy. We stayed in the ground floor bedroom because our dog couldn't make it up the spiral staircase to the loft. The kitchen is small, but well outfitted. Shar, the owner, is right next door, and very helpful and welcoming!

Great way to start the New Year

My wife and I gave ourselves a well deserved vacation as a Christmas persent to each other. We both love the Shenandoah Valley area. The cottage was beautiful as well as a great view of the river and surrounding mountains. Shar, the owner, is a very nice person, who makes you feel at home and welcome. A Bitter Sweet Retreat is also "pet friendly" and that means a lot to us. It was clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a quite relaxing get away, this is the place. It is also very close to several attractions such as the caverans at Luray and lots of flea markets etc. We plan on returning soon.
