Review Jacob Swartz House, New Market, VA

Photo Album

The cobbler shop where Jacob made boots for the Confedercy and wounded soldiers found refuge during the 1864 Battle of New Market has been converted into a private self-contained guest cottage.Soothe your soul in the restful luxury of a spacious detached cottage. Toast the sunset on your own stone-walled terrace; dip your toes in the singing Shenandoah River, dream by the fire, count fireflies from the screened porch and wish upon a star as you drift to sleep.
Maintain a vigorous schedule or pass some idle hours of leisure in a country cottage that stands in a quiet garden setting where a slower pace is the norm.Guest Cottage Master Bedroom
The guest cottage is nestled on a wooded hillside overlooking the Shenandoah River's North ForkQuiet when the mood strikes.
