This property is a very pet friendly cottage in the woods by a stream. It was a very relaxing week away. Dana was very accommodating and a good communicator. We took advantage of all the things to do in the area, Shenandoah National Park, Shenandoah River State Park and Luray Caverns. We even took walks along the stream. We loved it!

The house was very clean. Kitchen had all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Bathroom was very clean with all the towels and wash cloths you could ever need. The bedrooms were so comfortable. We loved that it had a travel pack n play and high chair for our toddler. Made traveling with all our toddlers things a little easier. Our dogs had a great stay, nice and open for them to stretch out. Our host even left us some fresh eggs which was so appreciated and enjoyed! The river was absolutely beautiful and loved sitting by the fire pits.

It was a very pleasant stay for a 2-night getaway in the mountains. Because of the details, from kitchen appliances and dinnerware to a first aid kit and 3 televisions with streaming), it had a nice homey feel as if you were visiting your aunt’s house. It would be great to have additional suggestions on local convenience stores or restaurants perhaps in the Elkton area, especially for those exploring Skyline Drive.

Perfect Shenandoah Base Camp

Dana’s place was a perfect base camp for our trip to Shenandoah. Super easy access to go north or south in the park and a very peaceful environment during our downtime. We loved the outdoor fire pits and being able to listen to the stream at night made for such a lovely stay!

Great place near Shenandoah National Park

We spent the day hiking on Skyline drive and retreated to this lovely bungalow next to a babbling stream. After cooking dinner in the grill we sat and talked around the fire pit. We appreciated the farm fresh eggs and all the other comforts of home. If you are planning a trip to the park, this is where you want to stay!
