We rented this house for JMU’s family weekend. It was close enough to campus to easily drive in and far enough away that you can get away from the crowds and just be together. The host was very welcoming and the home was well maintained, stocked and clean. We would highly recommend for any one.

Perfect

We stayed here for my daughter's college graduation from JMU. Perfect for our family and grandparents. Plenty of room & bedrooms for everyone. Only one bedroom is on main level for anyone with elderly folks but it worked for our group. Sadly, we were out of the house more than we were in it due to events on campus but definitely a nice place to stay for a vacation. I would definitely book again.

Fun filled mountain getaway!

This was a fantastic home! The beds were comfortable (with plenty of extra pillows & blankets), towels were soft & the kitchen was loaded with all we could ask for (even a crock pot & two coffee makers which was a huge plus for a home that sleeps so many & we had several coffee drinkers in our group). Everything was impeccably clean from top to bottom. The mountain setting was beautiful and the gurgling waterfall feature near the porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Jason, our property manager, was incredibly responsive to any and all questions and/or requests. We would love the opportunity to return and stay at this gem of a property again!
