Great for a getaway near Shenandoah National Park

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here, and it was exactly what we had expected and needed. It was close enough to Shenandoah to go hiking for the day, and the views even just outside the house were beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property at the top of the mountain, it was so peaceful and beautiful. We loved (and I mean it) the road up to the house. And is really close to Shenandoah National Park. Definitely a place we would love to visit again!

Lovely location, clean, quiet and well stocked for your stay….stars at night are amazing!! Right at 30 mins to Shenandoah Swift Gap entrance and about 45 mins from Old Rag. Many have mentioned the road up…tricky in a couple of spots but slow and steady wins the race

Great Cabin!

We had a great stay! The view was spectacular and seeing the horses with our 2 year old was a hit. The cabin was clean, spacious and adequately stocked with kitchen supplies. The drive was easy and it was close to Shenandoah National Park. We will definitely stay again if we’re in the area!

Great Shenandoah Getaway!

Had a great stay at this property! Plenty of comforts to make it a home away from home. A full kitchen with utensils, pots, and pans. Grill and fire pit if the weather cooperates. Sunrise and sunset from the property are lovely and coming up over the hill on the driveway was always charming.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely. We spent the days visiting the local wineries and the evenings relaxing in front of the huge firepit gazing at the stars. The mountain views and fall foliage were spectacular. The check-in process was smooth and Brian quickly responded to any questions. Cant wait to return again in the future!

A quick two-night stay

Very clean property. All rooms suited just what we needed. We used the home as a place to come back to at the end of the day spent fishing. Everything we needed was there. Coffee pot, hot shower, comfortable beds, and some space to stretch out.

Great stay !

We had a great weekend in this pretty little wooden house, nestled in the forest, on top of a hill. The house is comfortable, with all amenities. The view of the landscape is very beautiful. The entrance to Shenandoah Park is a 20 minute drive away. It is definitely a very good address in the area !

Long weekend stay in mountains

My husband and I had gone to the area to hike old rag to attend a wedding nearby. This perfect little cabin was right between old rag and Lydia Mountain Lodge. It was clean. The view was beautiful. And the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked And coffee on the porch in the mornings was perfect.

Beautiful little spot in the mountains

The photos on line do not do this property justice. The view of the mountains during the day and the stars at night is spectacular. The cottage and grounds were clean and well kept. Bedrooms were quite spacious. Perfect location for a relaxing stay and exploring the Shenandoahs. The mountain road to access the cabin may be challenging for smaller cars. 4X4 probably preferred for inexperienced drivers. Overall, highly recommended.

Great Value, Great Views

The stay at Brian's place is worth the drive up the dirt road to get there. I am glad we got there the first day before dark. The property and house were a pleasant surprise, given the location. We had everything we needed to cook meals there and have restful sleeps. We hiked Rose River Loop trail and White Oak Lower Falls trail on Brian's suggestion. Both reasonable driving distance and both great ways to experience Shenandoah.
