Our family enjoyed the charming house over thanksgiving break. All the expected amenities and much more! Our kids (4 and 2) loved all the indoor and outdoor toys too. Thank you for your hospitality!

I only spent one night at the Washhouse, but as soon as I entered, I felt right at home. The Washhouse was very clean and tidy, and very comfortable. I did not venture upstairs for the sake of cleanliness, but the downstairs was very nicely set up for Guests. There were lots of games and activities available for people who choose to stay longer, and the English mastiffs outside were so lovely and sweet and ready for pets! I would definitely return if I ever come back this way.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating both prearrival and once we arrived on property. The house shares the property with the owners who live on site in an adjacent house with their lovely children. There is ample parking. They do have three large dogs which are very friendly. Inside the house, it is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, both with comfortable beds. There is a half bathroom upstairs which was very nice and allowed those upstairs to use the facilities without coming downstairs. The kitchen was well-equipped, with plenty of staples in the refrigerator and pantry. They also had a free snack area with assorted chips and candy which was very nice. The property is in a quiet semi-rural area, but within 10 minutes to the downtown area of Harrisonburg. If you are visiting JMU, this place is perfect. It's also not far from Staunton and Massanutten Resort. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate staying here in the future if our travels bring us to the area.

Hubby and I needed a place to stay near mountain hiking trails and area wineries for a long weekend. The Wash House was easy to locate and centrally located for our needs. Our hosts were so nice and provided numerous little extras throughout the Wash House. Decorations in each room made the home feel cozy. Ample kitchen and bathroom amenities were appreciated. And a supply of games added to the hominess of the Wash House. We enjoyed our stay.

The Wash House is a small cottage on the grounds of a working farm. It is truly charming and immaculately clean. My daughter and I stayed during a family emergency and the property was exactly what we needed; clean, quiet, enough space to have some privacy but ample space to sit together and talk. The hosts could not have been nicer. They met us when we arrived and were so gracious. The Wash House contained many thoughtful extras as well as snacks, coffee, juices, and sodas. Lastly, the dogs are huge, gentle, and fun to meet. If you read "Henry and Mudge" as a child you will immediately recognize these dogs! We would certainly stay again and are grateful for the kindness shown to us by this lovely family.

I hesitate to leave such a fabulous review for fear that I’ll let the secret out and never have availability again. But alas, let me share how absolutely amazing this place was. It felt like home, albeit on a farmette, in a refurbished 2 bedroom/2 level “wash house”, set on the rolling hills west of downtown Harrisonburg. So so immaculately clean, cozy, comfortable with special touches throughout. The host family, who live in the 1900 Victorian next door were so gracious and welcoming. And the cherry on top… the doggies, the cows, the vistas. We’ll be back… if it’s not already taken!

Great Hosts, very gracious, very helpful, very accommodating and Trisha was quick responding to any questions I had. I did not get to spend much time at the property on my trip, but would definitely stay at the Washhouse again. Host displayed many personal touches that were thoughtful and memorable. The house is clean and well equipped including the kitchen with many complimentary items to get you through early mornings (such as I had being in town on business) or perhaps a late night arrival. Surrounding town is easy to navigate as well. Overall, it is a good model for the STR industry displaying top-notch guest experience and quality host operations. One noteworthy item is that the bed was rather firm for me.

Fantastic property! Decor is simple and takes you back to 1983, but super clean and amazingly well stocked with everything you might need. Host even has snacks and drinks available! She also has jams, soaps, and honey for purchase. The dogs (Mastiffs) are super sweet and friendly. I didn't pay attention and didn't realize there is no wi-fi or TV, but it wasn't an issue for us- but just an fyi. We are parents of a JMU student so we'll be in the area in the future- we'll definitely book The Wash House again!

The property was clean, smelled amazing, and the beds were comfy, but I do recommend bringing your favorite pillows. (comfy beds is something we’ve struggled to find on these type of rental sites, so this was a big deal). The owners were quick to respond, and kind. Their dogs were well behaved and very sweet. They even had a birthday balloon and cookies for my wife since we were there celebrating her birthday!! We would definitely stay there again if we come back to the area.

The house shares the property with the owners who live on site in an adjacent house with their lovely children. There is ample parking. They do have three large dogs which are very friendly. Inside the house, it is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, both with comfortable beds. There is a half bathroom upstairs which was very nice and allowed those upstairs to use the facilities without coming downstairs. The kitchen was well-equipped, with plenty of staples in the refrigerator and pantry. They also had a free snack area with assorted chips and candy which was very nice. The property is in a quiet semi-rural area, but within 10 minutes to the downtown area of Harrisonburg. If you are visiting JMU, this place is perfect. It's also not far from Staunton and Massanutten Resort. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate staying here in the future if our travels bring us to the area.

We had a great stay here as we passed through Harrisonburg on our drive from Nashville to PA. Kitchen amenities and snacks were awesome. Dogs were super friendly and we appreciated the advanced notice asking if it was OK for them to greet us. It would have been nice to have WiFi access and/or a TV, but we played games instead.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating both prearrival and once we arrived on property. The house shares the property with the owners who live on site in an adjacent house with their lovely children. There is ample parking. They do have three large dogs which are very friendly. Inside the house, it is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, both with comfortable beds. There is a half bathroom upstairs which was very nice and allowed those upstairs to use the facilities without coming downstairs. The kitchen was well-equipped, with plenty of staples in the refrigerator and pantry. They also had a free snack area with assorted chips and candy which was very nice. The property is in a quiet semi-rural area, but within 10 minutes to the downtown area of Harrisonburg. If you are visiting JMU, this place is perfect. It's also not far from Staunton and Massanutten Resort. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate staying here in the future if our travels bring us to the area.

Dogs were super friendly and we appreciated the advanced notice asking if it was OK for them to greet us. It would have been nice to have WiFi access and/or a TV, but we played games instead.

Hubby and I needed a place to stay near mountain hiking trails and area wineries for a long weekend. The Wash House was easy to locate and centrally located for our needs. Our hosts were so nice and provided numerous little extras throughout the Wash House. Decorations in each room made the home feel cozy. Ample kitchen and bathroom amenities were appreciated. And a supply of games added to the hominess of the Wash House. We enjoyed our stay.

I hesitate to leave such a fabulous review for fear that I’ll let the secret out and never have availability again. But alas, let me share how absolutely amazing this place was. It felt like home, albeit on a farmette, in a refurbished 2 bedroom/2 level “wash house”, set on the rolling hills west of downtown Harrisonburg. So so immaculately clean, cozy, comfortable with special touches throughout. The host family, who live in the 1900 Victorian next door were so gracious and welcoming. And the cherry on top… the doggies, the cows, the vistas. We’ll be back… if it’s not already taken!

The family that owns this are very polite. Plus, the mastiffs were fun. The house has everything you need, minus TV/Internet (which we knew). A great setting with farm and mountain views.

Best stocked VRBO I've ever stayed in! When you add in the lovely Trisha and her family you can't go wrong. Very nice place to stay.

Dropping our daughter at JMU, The Washhouse was a great alternative to overpriced H'burg hotels. The kitchen was the best stocked I've ever seen from other rentals. Fresh flowers and a welcome sign were a great addition. BEST: 2 BD, 2 Bath, 3 mastiffs! What was missing: no wifi (ok we used our mobile hotspots when needed). Also was unsure of checkout procedures, if any. Will definitely stay here again during JMU visits!

Fantastic property! Decor is simple and takes you back to 1983, but super clean and amazingly well stocked with everything you might need. Host even has snacks and drinks available! She also has jams, soaps, and honey for purchase. The dogs (Mastiffs) are super sweet and friendly. I didn't pay attention and didn't realize there is no wi-fi or TV, but it wasn't an issue for us- but just an fyi. We are parents of a JMU student so we'll be in the area in the future- we'll definitely book The Wash House again!

I cannot recommend this stay enough! Trisha and her family were such welcoming hosts (including their two beautiful English Mastiffs). I’ve never experienced such an accommodating stay - small food AND drinks were provided along with an adorable array of homemade jams, soaps, etc for purchase. The stay felt like it was straight out of a movie. Beautiful views, quaint decor, and 10/10 hospitality made for a truly memorable stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating both prearrival and once we arrived on property. The house shares the property with the owners who live on site in an adjacent house with their lovely children. There is ample parking. They do have three large dogs which are very friendly. Inside the house, it is very cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, both with comfortable beds. There is a half bathroom upstairs which was very nice and allowed those upstairs to use the facilities without coming downstairs. The kitchen was well-equipped, with plenty of staples in the refrigerator and pantry. They also had a free snack area with assorted chips and candy which was very nice. The property is in a quiet semi-rural area, but within 10 minutes to the downtown area of Harrisonburg. If you are visiting JMU, this place is perfect. It's also not far from Staunton and Massanutten Resort. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate staying here in the future if our travels bring us to the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Wash House! We were three adults and one baby. My daughter-in-law was participating in a conference at JMU, about a ten minute drive from the Wash House. We also did a lot of regional tourism. Trisha accommodated any and all requests that we made (baby equipment, etc.); we truly appreciated her help. The adorable cottage was very easy to access and the environment so agreeable. Trisha had an amazing supply of snacks, drinks, delicious jams and other homemade products in the kitchen. We loved seeing the children, the farm animals and the amazing Nikita. We really enjoyed the spontaneity of interacting with the family. This corner of our world is absolutely beautiful, and coming back to the Wash House each night finished off each day perfectly. Thanks especially to Trisha for making our stay perfectly relaxing.
