Everything we were looking for in a cabin stay. Spectacular view of the Shenandoah River from the porch or from inside. The cabin had plenty of heating for the winter and we were provided plenty of firewood. Host ensured road to cabin was accessible and kept us informed prior to stay. Would visit again, for sure!

This is our fourth stay in one of John’s cabins. The cozy cottage is definitely our favorite for the king sized bed and wraparound porch with incredible views. Truly appreciate the ability to get away with our dogs in a secluded space only 10 minutes away from amenities. Highly recommend to anyone considering a stay.

The cabin was exactly what we hoped for: secluded and quiet with a fantastic view, and only a 10 minute drive from town. Sadly, in order to avoid an incoming snow storm we chose to leave a night early. We will absolutely be back when the weather warms up! Thank you for sharing your home with us John!
