Convenient and simple comfort

We needed a place to stay with our dogs while visiting family for the holidays. Jessica’s place was convenient and full of simple, welcome comfort—cozy throws, coffee fixings, and even some charming Christmas decorations. We would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity!

Great place in Harrisonburg

Our family of four gathered for a weekend together. My daughter, a sophomore at JMU and her sister visiting from DC loved that they each had a bedroom to themselves. All the beds were comfy, the property was very clean, and we appreciated having ample space when our daughter’s friends came over to visit. We also loved that our sweet dog could come with us on the trip.We’d highly recommend this property for family gatherings!

My teenager and I had a great weekend stay here while visiting JMU. The house was in a good location near to JMU. There was a park across from the neighborhood which was nice for walking our dogs. We would stay here again.

Positive Experience

The property was accurately advertised. It fit all of our needs well when our family went to visit our JMU Duke. The owner was very responsive and replied to questions quickly. The main reason we chose this house and would return is that we were able to bring our large dog. Many other places that say "pet-friendly" are not actually "pet-friendly" for large dogs. We loved being able to bring him with us!

Close to everything in Harrisonburg

Very clean property, beds very comfortable, owner very responsive to questions and suggestions. Parking is tight and 2 spots are in front of the unit. If you have any mobility issues this unit would be difficult to access as the parking is lower than ground level and then steps onto porch and then split level entry. It worked fine for us but would not be for everyone. Keurig always a positive for us as we drink both regular and decaf. It is located in an area of other duplexes and several apartments and townhomes but it was very quiet. I was there most of the day with the windows open and heard very little noise and quiet at night to sleep. We would definitely book this property in the future if it is available.
