We had an awesome birthday vacation. The house was perfect on private land with beautiful views, and a walking path down to the river. Hiked Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park on my birthday and hiked a waterfall trail the following day. We enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day. We absolutely loved our stay and had an amazing trip. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. Sherry & Mike

The beauty and size of the property was wonderful. It was private except a stretch of riverfront where we never saw anyone except for a friendly dog jumping in for a swim and loud geeese cruising down the river. I especially liked the large horrible on the covered patio. I forgot my swimsuit but that didn't matter.
