Walk to White Oak Canyon Trail in Shenandoah National Park

White Oak Canyon Cottage is a cozy cottage nestled in a beautiful valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Robinson River and Cedar Run. It is located adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park and is literally steps from the White Oak Canyon Hiking Trail and Cedar Run Hiking Trail lower trailheads. These trails offer some of the best waterfall hiking trails in the Shenandoah National Park. White Oak Canyon Cottage is also located about .8 miles to the Old Rag Mountain hiking trail parking lot.

This area abounds with nature and wildlife including Virginia White Tailed deer, black bears, gray squirrels, mountain trout, and many birds. White Oak Canyon Cottage is perfect for a family retreat with nature, a quiet romantic getaway, or a weekend of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park.

We're located just off Virginia's Route 231, one of America's ten most outstanding scenic byways, perfect for biking. Enjoy the hiking, wildlife, fishing for trout in a nearby stocked pond, wineries, antique shops, Luray Caverns, Monticello - Thomas Jefferson's home, Montpelier - James Madison's home, or just sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery.

Exactly as advertised
We had a great time, especially with short walk to the hiking trails. The trailer was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed. It’s a cozy stay for sure, but worth it. The place was easy to find, and the owner was helpful, accommodating, and accessible.

Great location
This was the perfect location for us. We were able to walk to White Oak Canyon lower parking lot instead of dealing with the congestion of cars trying to park there. The cottage was everything we needed it to be for what we were there for. Really all you need to bring is food and clothes. Beautiful property. Bill provided us with all info needed to cover any question we may have had. I would definitely stay here again. It was easy, convenient, and affordable!

Rustic property close to Old Rag trail circuit
This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to Old Rag Mountain. Cell phone coverage is poor or nonexistent so it is important to communicate with the owner prior to losing coverage. For example, ask for the door code before getting off the main highway! Once you are inside the property, you can access Wi-Fi. Everything about the property is fine, but there were some ants and millipedes to contend with, mainly in the kitchen. If you want to hike Old Rag from the property, you will want to start from the access point at the Berry Hollow parking spot, which is about a mile away. If you want to start from the Old Rag parking lot, you’ll need to drive approximately 12 miles to do so. The closest convenience store is about 5 miles away (going back the way you came on Weakley Hollow Rd) and it has a grill that serves breakfast lunch and dinner.

Peaceful getaway
Listing was completely accurate. So close to the trails we wanted to hike. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t supplied there. Not much else around so we would suggest taking all the food you need. There is a shop about 30 minutes away but very expense as you expect in this type of area. One thing to be aware of. The listing did not mention a grill, but there was one. Unfortunately all our dinners needed to be grilled as we packed for a camping experience but it was not a propane grill and we had no charcoal. We made accommodations but if you know this ahead of time, no problem! It wasn’t the cleanest but again you are renting a camper in the woods. Thanks so much for letting us use your place. It’s just the type of location we want while vacationing, secluded, private and away from the daily noise we are used to.

Pretty much as advertised, we had a good time
The property is accurately represented: it is basically a single wide trailer with an enclosed porch added on, in a pretty remote location (no nearby food or services, no cell service). We enjoyed our stay. The hike from the property was very nice. The microwave wasn't working while we were there, but the property manager did email us about it and said he was going to have it fixed (apparently it had just broken with the previous guests). There was an issue with ants, mostly in the kitchen, but a few in other rooms.

Great location, run down home
While driving, the woman who cleans the property and lives next door was so agressively up my butt driving to the place that I hit a huge pothole looking behind me for a split second. Pulled over and she sped off, only to see me pull into the rental and tried to brush off the damage as not a big deal. 2 tires-$371. New rims-$700. Mind you we had to wobble all the way back to GA with kids in the car before getting new rims. Owner and the caretaker of this place could care less. Dont let that woman get behind you, for the love of stress. The drive there is a very narrow, windy mountain road. Meant for cars, must be experienced. For reference, I drive tail of the dragon in my free time, I know a bit about mountain roads. I didnt know that the smallest turn would have a foot deep hole on the passenger side. Multiple places where itll tear your car up. Got there and they didnt know it was reserved. Sat outside with the bugs for about an hr while they put the house back together after installing floors. Floors didn't look new, there was a weird hump in the kitchen floors. Spider webs and bugs all over, not a big deal since its in a wooded area. The location is amazing, loved that part. The mold in the window unit was overwhelming. Mold in the bathroom was common, most older homes have this problem. Wifi is satellite, there is no cell phone service (verizon). Loved the disconnection from the world but be prepared. Amenities were also very basic.

We had a very good experience. The location was just perfect- a very short walk to the White Oak Canyon trail and close the the Old Rag mountain.
