This is one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed in. The owner was very responsive to questions before we arrived and checked to make sure everything was okay when we got there. It was clean and well stocked. They even provided firewood for the firepit on the great back patio. It had the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. All the furniture was comfortable. Would definitely go back.

The property was quite cozy, off the main road, and extremely peaceful. Sitting in the hot tub looking at stars was a great way to end the night. Located about 40 minutes from Lurray and a short drive to Massanutten leaves plenty of options for the whole family. The property seemed well maintained by the host and we felt welcome upon arrival. We will likely be back next year!

Peaceful Getaway

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Very surprising as it is nestled right into the woods so you would expect to be some bugs or dust/dirt from in and out of the doors. But, there was none. I loved the privacy of the location, but it was a short drive to everything. The outdoor space was really nicely set up and the hot tub is a great feature for the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. Absolutely would recommend and will likely book again! My ONLY suggestion that would have made our perfect stay a bit better would be if there were a fenced area for the fur babies that tag along. Just so that they can safely enjoy the outdoor space with us without needing a leash.

Well maintained home- clean and comfortable beds. Host was wonderful and helpful when needed. Worked great for us as a home base for JMU parents' weekend. Only cons for some people may be that it is on a gravel road and there is no TV.

Cute, comfy little spot , but with no TV

The house was quaint and comfortable. The rooms were a nice size and it had a great kitchen. The outside area was cute too, but the grill definitely needed a good cleaning & the hot tub seemed like it needed an upgrade for a 10/10 listed property. It was a good central location to lots of things in the Shenandoah area. The lack of TV was a bit odd—I didn’t even notice it in the pictures because there was a cabinet, which I assumed housed a TV. It was my fault, but still…We booked during the Olympics and really missed being able to enjoy/watch those during our down time. It was a great place to bring a dog and a family, though, if you are looking to get away from it all.

30th Birthday getaway

We had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th birthday here. Upon arrival we instantly noted the cleanliness of the property! The fresh coffee beans were a huge plus and the s’mores gift basket was wonderful. The location was perfect as everything we wanted/needed was within 30min. Property owner was very communicative and check in and out was a breeze. All said and done it was a perfect vacation. PS. The mountaintop ranch sunset horseback ride is an absolutely amazing experience
