Other things to note While dogs are allowed at the property, the property is not fully enclosed therefore we do require them to be leashed if you are worried about them getting lost. We also also ask that if a pet is left indoors by themselves, that they are kennelled in order to prevent any damage to the property while not under human supervision.
Please also note that due to this being in a rural location the internet can be a little spotty in inclement weather. The only wifi that is available in the area is satellite internet through Viasat. It works well for light working from home, streaming Netflix, answering e-mails, checking social media, etc., but if you need to be doing a lot of uploading, downloading, and/or gaming it may not be the best option for you. You may however head to the local coffee shop (Broad Porch Coffee Co.) that has free wifi and is only 15 mins away!
This is more of a remote stay and a perfect way for you to get away from the busy city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature :)
If you are coming during the winter, a 4WD is HIGHLY recommended. The driveway may feel steep for those who are not used to driving in the mountains, especially if conditions are icy.
We always recommend that all guests PURCHASE TRIP INSURANCE in the event of a cancellation.

Serene and modern - hot tub, too!
The property sits on a crest of a hill, surrounded by trees and tranquility. Once you’ve ascended the driveway, you’re in a jewelbox-like house with lots of space and color. The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen had cookware for almost anything. The hot tub was truly special- it’s set apart with its own deck, lights, and shade sail. Wonderful stay, communicative owners.

Great home, terrible location if visiting JMU
We stayed here because we were attending a graduation at James Madison University. The home was magnificent. Communication with the property manager was fine except for the fact that the location for the home is a complete lie. The listing says about 27 minutes. I messaged the property manager and they CONFIRMED with me that the property was indeed 27 minutes away. After graduation and dinner, we head to the home and the GPS tells me it’s going to take more than 50 minutes to arrive to the property with no traffic. My family and I were absolutely upset about the location and the fact that we were lied to. The listing does read that the drive is in the mountains. Please be prepared for the scariest and longest drive of your night. Especially in the dark. Never again.

Relaxing getaway!
Enjoyed a relaxing getaway with friends. This place was just what we were looking for. Amazing decor, enjoyed hot tub and fire pit. Was tucked away to feel just far enough away from it all. We spent some time by river just about 20 min away. We were pleasantly surprised to find the extra roll away beds So there was plenty of space for 8 of us ladies.

Shenandoah Gem
This was the perfect spot for a group of friends from across the country to gather and celebrate love and the beautiful landscape. My wife and a portion of this group stayed in this beautiful home for a wedding celebration nearby. We loved the vibrant colors and character to each room. The seclusion of the property was also quite appealing.

Hiking and hot tub getaway
This was the nicest, well prepared, accommodating place we've ever stayed. It was so refreshing to find a place so eager to cater to folks bringing their fur babies. After a very nice hike to Rose River Falls the kitchen was so fresh and ready to prepare a great meal. The bathrooms stocked with everything we'd need and the hot tub was so inviting, we stayed in it for HOURS. We will definitely return to stay here and don't recommend anyone else go there so we can have it all for ourselves lol. No, if you pass this house and these hosts up, you're making a mistake.
