About this house rental

Come make yourself at home at the Valley Hearth in the heart of downtown Harrisonburg, VA! This newly renovated, historic home sits just four blocks from downtown Harrisonburg, the outdoor adventure capital of the Shenandoah Valley. Whether you’re traveling for our mountain scenery, downtown district, or local university events, this fully-equipped home is the perfect base.

Location Highlights
☼ 1 mile to JMU
☼ 3 blocks to coffee
☼ 5 blocks to restaurants
☼ 25 mins to Massanutten Resort
☼ 30 mins to Shenandoah

The space
Dated back to 1911, the Valley Hearth offers the perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern comfort. Furnished with brand new Serta mattresses, sparkling white linens, and a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room, we're confident you'll love it here.

☼ INDOORS ☼
You’ll enter the home into a large open-concept entryway / dining area / kitchen with hard wood floors and natural lighting. Around the corner you'll find a cozy, rounded living room with original 1900s Craftsman windows. Along with the perfect sunlit spot for a morning cup of coffee, the living room also offers comfortable seating, a smart TV with complimentary entertainment applications, an original fireplace and hearth, and several local books carefully scattered about.

☼ BEDROOMS & BATH ☼
The Valley Hearth comfortably sleeps up to four guests, making it ideal for couples, friends, and families. Both the king and queen bedrooms include brand new Serta mattresses with lush white linens. Both bedrooms are designed to feel spacious and inviting, each with a cozy reading corner and ample closet space.

The home also includes one bright and spacious bathroom, which features a tub-style shower and all the essentials, from toilet paper to shampoo, soaps, towels, makeup cloths, and more.

☼ KITCHEN & DINING ☼
The fully stocked kitchen features a gas stove, single oven, microwave, and dual refrigerator / freezer. The cabinets are stocked with cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, cooking utensils, bakeware, spices, coffee maker, and all the other appliances and essentials for a home-cooked meal or morning cup of valley coffee.

Just beside the kitchen, the dining table offers seating for four with morning-to-evening sunshine naturally softened by our outdoor wisteria, myrtle, and bamboo trees.

☼ OUTDOORS ☼
The Valley Hearth sits on a residential street just four blocks from downtown Harrisonburg. The property offers off-street driveway parking for a maximum of two average-sized vehicles. Additional vehicles are welcome to park in the public parking lot bordering our property. A sidewalk connects the parking lot and driveway to our wraparound porch, where guests have private access to the entire left side of the porch and everything inside the ground-level unit.

We highly encourage guests to explore the neighborhood, especially Ott Street and the Woodbine Cemetery. Although cemeteries get a bad rap for being spooky, the Woodbine Cemetery is one of our favorite spots in Harrisonburg and a beautiful place to watch the sun sink behind the Blue Ridge.

☼ MORE DETAILS ☼
Although the house was built in 1911, recent renovations have installed central heating and cooling in every room to keep our guests comfortable year-round. Guests will have independent access to the thermostat.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the home or the area in general. We look forward to welcoming you to the valley!

Guest access
The house has been converted into two units. Guests will have private access to the entire ground unit, including:
☼ Driveway
☼ Left side of the front porch
☼ Private door & entryway
☼ Private unit with two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, dining area, and bathroom

We, the hosts, live in the upstairs unit with one housemate. The house has been thoroughly insulated and soundproofed, but you may hear footsteps from above. You may also see or hear us entering our unit from the right side of the front porch.

My husband and I have stayed at home rentals within the U.S. and internationally. This ranked among the best! The home was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The neighborhood was within short walks of restaurants and shops. Harrisonburg is a very walkable city. Our hosts were delightful!

We are a bit of a tough family to host since we have young children, and they were more than accommodating! The walkability of the space was lovely. They have a very well thought out property that is well-kept and nicely furnished. Thanks for a great stay!

This house is gorgeous! Older home features (windows, trim, former fire place and built in hutch) are on display. But, the rooms are spacious, cozy and well layed out. The location is within easy walking distance to downtown makes it a great place to stay.

Met all our needs as a family of 4 with room for friends to stop by. Great local to walk to dinner and shops. Exceeded our expectations! The full kitchen and openness gave us room to spread out.

Valley Hearth was the perfect spot for two couples spending a long weekend in Harrisonburg. Tom and Ali have created a warm, welcoming space with all the essentials. The apartment is spotless, with a full kitchen set up to easily manage cooking most meals. The two bedrooms are spacious, with comfortable mattresses and pillows, and the sunny, plant-filled living room is roomy and cozy at the same time. Ali was a wonderful host - she sent detailed emails about the property, check-in, and local businesses, and spaced the messages out over a few days so the information wasn't overwhelming. The neighborhood is residential and quiet, just a few minutes drive from campus. If you prefer to walk, it's a 20 minute stroll to the Forbes Center and 30 minutes to Bridgeforth Stadium. Coffee shops, gift shops, and restaurants are just a few short blocks away. We loved our stay, and look forward to coming back next fall!

This house is a perfect location to downtown Harrisburg, 3-4 blocks from several great restaurants. Allison was very helpful in every process and anything we needed she also has a wonderful friendly husband we met briefly. Thanks for the wonderful place.

We stayed at this property to kick off our vacation on the Shenandoah Valley. The house was very nicely decorated and had plenty of space for just the two of us. Everything was well laid out and explained by the host. Location was also a huge plus as the property was right in the middle of Harrisonburg. We used this to our advantage exploring a few of the local breweries within walking distance.
