Me and my group of 6 total stayed at Cody’s house on Big Lake this past weekend and had the best time. The house is cute and feels like a true lake house. It has everything you would need from a grill to kitchen supplies and we absolutely love the bonfire in the backyard. Being able to rent the boat was a major perk and we spent all day out on it for one of our days there. Cody is responsive and super helpful for any of your needs. Overall we had the best time and would definitely return! Would highly recommend

The perfect cabin in the woods

You really are on your own at the top of a mountain but with all the best comforts--hot tub, firepit, fireplace, views, comfortable bed. The cabin is so well equipped, clean and the hosts have thought of everything, one would think they planned the deer that gently walk onto the property. Would look forward to staying again, thank you Betsey and Kevin!!

Whispering trees

This cabin, tucked into the side of the national park, gave us a few days to relax, unwind and recharge. The wind in the trees created a soothing sound. I read on the screened porch, walked the steep road and even rode my bike along the quiet roads. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we recommend this property to all who like to be enveloped in nature.

Perfect

Looking for getaway with parents that was easy to maneuver with downstairs master bedroom and step in shower. Luckily, we already had the 4wd and everything else was just treasure! The hosts are so generous with what is supplied at the cabin and contact was plentiful to make sure every need was met. Furnishings are comfy and we enjoyed the screened in porch listening to nature -the hot tub was an added delight. Didn’t want to leave. I’m sure in the Fall it is gorgeous! Thank you again!

Peaceful end of our stay in Virginia!

This was the most clean, organized, and well stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at! The host provided everything you could possibly need and is perfect for families! The property was private and beautiful! Our family enjoyed the hot tub and drinking coffee and cocoa on the porches. It was soo relaxing just sitting outside and being serenaded by the birds! We chose this cabin as an end to our busy week long trip to Virginia and it was the perfect end to our trip! I love when a place we stay at feels well taken care of and you can tell the hosts really take care of this place and thought of practically everything! The road up was for sure steep and bumpy, so 4WD was much needed, but worth it! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Unplugged

My wife and I decided we need to escape reality for a while, and figured atop a mountain somewhere could be it. This certainly was one of those trips. The Host-Betsy answered my questions, very few details of what we needed, but upon arrival-everything was as advertised. The comfy king bed, tv services (tuned into music). Working Wifi-though not used for work. Relaxing was the key to this adventure for us. We spent hours by the fire-relaxed in the Hot tub, enjoyed it more while the sky opened to a few hours of falling snow. Peacefully quiet. Although there were many places to venture out-we saw no need to. We Thoroughly enjoyed this peace filled adventure, and can't wait for our next opportunity to visit again, and bring family with grandchildren next time. We cannot imagine any visitors nor realizing what a pure gem this place is. Thank you Kevin and Betsy for allowing us to visit, enjoy-Relax and unplug. It's a great feeling knowing places like this exist. This place provides everything under one roof. We cannot express enough how connecting this was for the both of us!

A Slice of Heaven on Earth

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The property was beautiful and very quiet, and the sunsets were incredible. The cabin was perfect. Very clean, organized, well stocked (including a Christmas tree for our stay!), and everything is labeled. The hosts were very communicative and checking in was a breeze. Highly recommend.

WOW, just WOW!

My two adult daughters and I did a weekend getaway and for my youngest daughter‘s 35th birthday. Everything was so immaculate that we felt like we were the first renters in this cabin. It was elegantly decorated for the season. Not overdone like other places I have stayed. We enjoyed the comfy beds, cozy blankets in the living room, fire pit and the hot tub. We played some of the games, and there was an abundance of laughter throughout the weekend. The attention to detail was top notch. We wanted for nothing (except to stay longer.) AWD definitely needed to make the climb up to the cabin, but you won’t regret it. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We plan to visit again.

Luxury in Paradise: The Shenandoah

We have a knack for choosing the best VRBO places and have enjoyed many of them around the east coast: Martha's Vineyard, Adirondacks, Outer Banks, and more, but none of them can top this one! Luxurious isolation, peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings. The Cabin is modern and perfect - meticulously clean and put together. An adventure just to find, it was well worth going off the beaten path to land this amazing value! We enjoyed especially sitting around the amazing fire pit and listened for any sounds of the modern world - not a plane or a car or noisy neighbor could be heard. There is also a perfectly screened-in porch from where to watch the bunnies and the birds, and inside, all the modern comforts are tastefully furnished. There is a hammock in the front where you can drift away. If you MUST have an internet connection well, it worked great for us, but we recommend you leave your phones and laptops and the TVs alone. Perfect 5 stars. Can't wait to come back.
