We had a lovely stay at the wash house! Trisha and her family were very welcoming and kind. Their 2 dogs were also so friendly and sweet, we loved having them around. The house was stocked with yummy snacks and drinks. It had everything we needed. Would stay here again for our next trip to Harrisonburg.

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.

Charming Cottage on Farm

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.

Inspirational stay

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.

Trisha and Derrick were wonderful to work with and so kind when my trip changed due to snow and ice. The Washhouse was so clean and well appointed. It was the perfect place to unwind.
