ROMANTIC COUPLES COTTAGE - SWEET DREAMS COUNTRY COTTAGE

We enjoyed our 3 night Valentine's Day Get-Away at Sweet Dreams Cottage. This was our 1st time doing a vacation like this (away from the city) and everything was nice, relaxing and romantic. We appreciate all the special touches like the complimentary bottle of wine, the Valentine's day chocolate and cute decorations.

On the 1st day of our arrival, there was an issue with the thermostat/heat. We arrived to find the co-owner, Jim already there working on the problem and he immediately notified us of what was going on. We appreciate the way the owners handled the issue (it could have been a problem, but it turned out not to be). We also appreciate the call we received by Donna the following day. She wanted to check in on us to make sure that everything was ok with the heat and the accommodations. We were glad to let her know that everything was back to working fine.

We enjoyed a day trip to Luray Caverns/Luray museums (about 15 mins drive) and another day trip to Massanutten ski resort for snow tubing (about 45 mins drive). We also made a short drive to Walmart for supplies (about 15 mins drive).

The fireplace and the large open window was a nice touch, especially for our dog who likes to lounge and look outside. The home is dog friendly which is a plus for dog lovers (There were also dog treats, toys, dog bed etc at the cottage).

We also enjoyed the hot tub and cocoa that was provided. And for those wanting to sit back and watch movies, we noticed a decent selection of DVDs at the cottage, although we did not get to watch these since we brought our own.

The campfire was also a nice touch. In the evenings we would light a fire outside and make smores while watching the stars. The provided candles, radio/love song CDs and oil fireplace were also nice for use around the hot tub at night.

And lastly, we both got some much needed rest and relaxation-lounging and napping on the couch by the fireplace, sitting in the his and her massage chairs (the nature sound machine by the chairs and water fountain were also a soothing touch) and sleeping in the cozy bed (the mattress pad and neck pillow were also comfy).

We saved money by cooking romantic meals rather than eating out. The kitchen was very accommodating and we both enjoyed cooking and eating by the window. We appreciated the seasonings and staples like sugar, tea, popcorn, cooking oil etc.

All in all we had a great time and would enjoy coming back, especially when it is warm!

We were looking for a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend outside DC for peace and quiet and that’s exactly what we got at Sweet Dreams. The cabin is so warm and cozy! The owner had left us a complimentary turkey or ham (our choice) since we were checking in on Thanksgiving. The hot tub was so great, especially for the cool nights. We loved the gas fire place. Two wine glasses were displayed on the table for a winery not far. The next day we went to the winery and had a wonderful time and picked up a few bottles of wine. The weekend was very pleasant and quiet. We will definitely be back if we are back in Luray.

We had a wonderful time relaxing at this perfect get away tucked in the mountains.The pictures depicted the site accurately. The campfire was perfect after a day of visiting various wineries.The bed was extremely comfortable. Everything we could think of needing was provided at the cottage and the wine was a delightful touch! When we visited we were about at the tail end of the fall color change and the surroundings were beautiful. We hope to return again soon.
