This is just a start on all there is to see and do. Gather the family and friends to enjoy this delightful, and scenic riverside Village of Port Republic, a National Historic Registered Site.

Bear Escape, a cute, very little (650 sq ft.) cottage gives you all the conveniences of a modern, two bedroom home, with spa bathroom ( BUT you do need to go through the primary bedroom to get to the ONLY bathroom) and fantastically appointed new kitchen, in the peaceful atmosphere of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, right on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.

Endless sights to see. Walk to the Shenandoah River. You are 5 minutes from Grand Caverns and 35 from Luray Caverns. Shenandoah River Rafters can outfit you for a float or kayak adventure. Outdoor Adventures (540-879-9030) The Shenandoah Winery Trail, Silverback Distillery, Bold Rock and Old Hill Cideries, Stablecraft, Three Notched, Skipping Rock Breweries, to name but just a few, are right nearby. Enjoy hiking in Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, plus music and festivals, and restaurants that rival New York, but without the price tag. Scroll to the very end for a detailed listing of things to do and see, plus a list of some of my favorite restaurants.

CAVING: Grand Caverns is just 3 miles away, having one of the best collections of shield formations in the world, according to Parade Magazine. Luray Caverns is only 35 miles away. Check out Endless Caverns and Shenandoah Caverns, too.

STROLLING: You can walk everywhere in the Historic Village of Port Republic, a Civil War battle site, on the Virginia Historic Register. Just amble to the riverside for a picnic, jump in if it gets hot. Kayak the river, float in an inner tube, or fly fish. You are minutes from the base of Shenandoah National Park, where you can hike Madison Run Trailhead, the RipRap Trail, or just travel a bit more and conquer Old Rag or White Oak Canyon! Massanutten Four Season Resort is 20 minutes away. Port Republic has its own village run museum, too! Open Sundays and by special appointment.

Bear Escape Cottage has a Comfort Aire king size bed in the Sunflower bedroom. The Bear Cubs bedroom has a queen size Beauty Rest mattress which will give you gorgeous mountain views. Open the Drexel Heritage sleeper sofa, and fit two more. Please remember, this cottage has ONLY one big beautiful spa bathroom, that you access THROUGH the primary bedroom. The gorgeous, Italian tiled shower features four separate shower heads, a rain shower head with a handheld shower head, too, and two individual temperature controls. No longer be frozen (or scalded) because your partner has different ideas of comfort than you do. Or... enjoy a shower outside, under the stars, in the modern, temperature controlled, completely private outdoor shower. Outdoor shower karaoke anyone?

The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, has beautiful blue macaubre quartzite counters. Breakfast is easy. Outside, you will find a gas grill, chaise lounges, patio furniture and hammock to enjoy the evening BBQ, fire pit and star gazing.

With over 55 languages spoken in Harrisonburg schools, you will understand that this small town boasts many interesting and culturally diverse restaurants:
* Fusion Korean at Mashita,
* Asian fusion at Beyond
* Modern American at the Chop House or Rocktown Kitchen
* Fine dining, with outdoor patio at the Joshua Wilton House (my absolute favorite!)

Staunton, just 20 minutes away, with the Blackfriars Theater, the only theater-in-the-round just like Stratford-on-Avon. Check out Zynodea Restaurant. James Madison University, Bridgewater College, and Eastern Mennonite University are only 10 to 20 minutes by car.

Want a gorgeous hike with waterfalls, swimming holes, rock scrambles and gorgeous views? You are just 3 miles from Madison Run Trailhead, and only 25 minutes from Swift Run Gap or Rockfish Gap entry to Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. Hike Doyle's Falls, Jones Falls, for waterfalls. Rock scramble? Bearfence Mountain is unbelievable!!!

Relax with a tour of local wineries, as Cross Keys, Brix and Columns, Barren Ridge, and Bluestone are 10 to 20 minutes drive. Plus you have access to about 50 more wineries within an hour's drive. Google Shenandoah Wine Trail. The Glass House Winery is unbelievably beautiful. Most of these venues feature music, too. You can easily cross Afton Mountain to reach Charlottesville for a days visit to UNESCO World Heritage site of University of Virginia and Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.

Besides tastings and tours, you can enjoy local music, from Pick'n and Grinnin' to the best live dance music. Ski Massanutten only 18 minutes away. Local auctions held most days of the week will delight with bargain treasures. Green Valley Auctions, my favorite. See Auctionzip.com and use zip code 24471. Looking for antiques? Shop The Factory Antique Mall in Verona.

Virginia boasts many micro breweries, so stop for a cold one on your bike ride at Stablecraft Breweries for live music.

When you finally say "when", rinse off in the outdoor shower with fantastic views of the Valley. It IS the only way to star gaze. The Shenandoah Valley allows you clear views of the Milky Way, and invites you to compare the "milky wonders" of the best ice cream ever! Kline's vs. Grammie's vs. Wright's Dairy vs. Smiley's...Mmmmmm. If you can tear yourself away from the back yard chaise lounges, the succulent wonders arising from the BBQ, and the peaceful sounds of crickets and songbirds.

We have a guestbook and a Facebook page, with WHAT to do, WHEN to do it and HOW. I am updating this page continuously.

Ideal Stay for My Ski Trip

I stayed here for a quick overnight stop during my ski trip and it was perfect for what I needed. I arrived around 8 PM and left by checkout time. The two bedroom unit was spacious and comfortable with my room being well decorated and featuring a huge bathroom. The bed was super comfy, and the vanity was great for getting ready. The only thing I suggest is adding a mirror in the second room as my friend noticed it was a bit lacking and decoration. The shower in my room was large with two shower heads and nice warm water with good pressure. My only downside was the roller window shades. They didn’t feel very secure and I didn’t like the idea of someone being able to see in but that’s just my personal preference. Also, the front door and my bedroom could use new handles but everything else was great. overall I had a lovely stay and it served its purpose perfectly.

Comfy beds, no washer/dryer, could be cleaner

Cute little house right on Main Street with very comfy beds! Could use a deep cleaning as the fan blades were caked with dust, the mini split had mildew on it, there were a bunch of dead bugs on top of the fridge and the niche in the shower had old soap remnants in it. Also, there was no washer or dryer even though it said there was in the listing. We did not contact the host to resolve these things as we only stayed one night and it was late when we arrived.

Stayed here while skiing at Massanutten for the weekend! Great distance with scenic views on the drive to and from the mountain. We enjoyed the convenience of the full kitchen, TV, spa shower, and heating system to keep us relaxed after long days of skiing. The sleep number bed in the front bedroom is incredibly comfortable! All appliances worked perfectly and were very helpful in making our stay easy and enjoyable. Will definitely visit again!

Jena made everything about our stay in Bear Escape Cottage wonderful. Waking up to the view from the back window was truly worth the drive from Virginia Beach. Port Republic is very small, but close to Harrisonburg, though there are many good restaurants and lots of places to visit and see close by. Thank you, again, Jena. We hope to visit again!

Negative Review

Positives: Host was responsive to our messages. Bathroom had a nice layout. Negatives:Property was very dated. Property was not very clean. It was extremely dusty and many things, including the floors, were very dirty. The shower was not clean. There was dog hair on the couch and in the living room/kitchen. The bedsheets seemed to be not clean. Underwear and socks were found under the bedsheets in the guest bedroom. Several pieces of furniture were broken and/or in bad condition. Kitchen appliances and glasses/plates were dirty/broken.Kitchen trashcan had a no lid. Therefore, a mouse was found inside the trashcan. Guest and bathroom trash cans were not emptied prior to arrival. Overall, we were very unsatisfied with our stay.

Property was cute and quaint. Only thing we missed out on was the goat on the photo or some cows in the backyard that other reviewers mentioned. I think it was simply timing not on our side! But kids were looking forward to seeing animals. Jena has put a TON of time into providing resources for her visitors. Brewery nearby (Alpine Goat) was one of the best we’ve been to.

Excellent, Cozy, and Rustic

My family and I were very happy to stay here. It was close to Stanton and downtown Harrisonburg. We enjoyed the little creek down the block. We took it easy this time. Next time around, we will be more active and go on hikes. The property was too cute and exactly as described. The host was accommodating and provided oodles of info for activity. We didn’t take advantage of the ins and outs but I loved that we were provided with the knowledge. I’ll have to come back when I have the constitution for kayaking, hiking, and exploring more. We just took it easy most of the time. The ambiance was amazing for lifting our moods and relaxing.
