Relaxing in Rapidan
November 2025
We recently stayed at this very charming cottage. The authentic furnishings make you think you are in colonial Virginia. Situated right beside the Rapidan River, you are able to hear the water rushing by. The beds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of hot water for showers. The new washer and dryer are a real benefit for travelers, as are all of the new kitchen appliances. The hosts are wonderful people who want you to have a terrific stay.

Cottage review
November 2025
We recently spent several days at blue mountain retreat in Rapidan. The cozy cottage provided us with a very pleasant stay. This bright cottage is charmingly decorated with lovely quilts and other furnishings that are well suited to the historic nature of the cottage. It has comfortable beds, an abundance of large, fluffy towels, and a large bathroom with a nice shower, and plenty of hot water . The cottage is equipped with all new appliances, including the dishwasher, washer and dryer. The hosts were very kind and attentive to our needs. We’ll be back!
