The property is immaculate, and the host is exceptionally accommodating. A wide range of essentials is provided, including shampoo, bug spray, grilling plates, utensils, cups, coffee, and even blankets for cooler evenings. Still, the true highlight of this stay is the breathtaking view—sunrises and sunsets are just steps from the bedroom, offering a remarkable experience from dawn to dusk.Although the access road requires a short hike, even with a 4x4, the location is undeniably a hidden gem. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that the host is installing lights around the grilling area, as we had used our vehicle’s headlights for illumination. The attention to detail and responsiveness were greatly appreciated.We look forward to returning

We loved our stay at this property! The view was amazing and the accommodations were very clean, spacious, well-equipped and comfortable! Tess was a great hostess and communication was prompt and effective. The rental was a little closer to the owners house than we thought based on the property description. The outdoor amenities such as the chiminea are positioned for privacy opposite the side of the host home. The roads to the cabin are narrow and unpaved with switchbacks making it a little more challenging to navigate. Overall, it’s an amazing view and comfortable stay!

What a view! We enjoyed our stay at 3100 feet. It was worth the ride on the unpaved path to the top! We had a comfortable and peaceful time, staying very comfortably at the top of the world.

Beautiful

This is the most beautiful cabin you could ever wish for! It is secluded, quiet, and the view from the top is even better than the national park! The drive up the mountain is a little intimidating if you’re not used to driving up mountains like us. It is about 20 minutes up and the closest option for food is about 20 minutes away. That being said you should pack meals to eat in a cooler, we only packed sandwiches and a few snacks but wish we had packed any food we might of wanted. The owners are very nice and accommodating, we really enjoyed waking up to the sunrise over the mountains and plan to go back for another trip!

Under the stars

Being so high up, the cabin's deck offered unparalleled mountain views. The sunrise, sunset, dusk, dawn, night sky seeded with stars kept us entertained with ever changing colors and visitors (e.g.: deer, woodpeckers, titmouse, etc.) The cabin is well equipped with cooking utensils and offers plenty of storage as well. Its proximity to Shenandoah NP is a huge plus. Our hosts were very quick to respond to messages and easing any concerns we had. We cannot wait to be back.

Relaxing and certainly memorable!

The trip up the mountain did seem daunting; however, I believe it was more due to not knowing what to anticipate based on the reviews. The descent was not difficult at all, most likely because we were more familiar with the road We very much enjoyed our stay at the Guesthaus and our host Tessy was very friendly and helpful. The view was breathtaking, and the mountain top was astonishingly quiet! On our second day there, it POURED for about a half hour, then the clouds appeared in the valley and over the mountains, At one point earlier in the day, the fog rolled in and was so dense you could just barely make out a tree that was on the property about 30 yards away. The fog quickly cleared and the valley became visible again. That same night, the sky directly above us cleared and opened up to some very bright stars that were just amazing. As we gazed at the stars above us, we could also watch a huge lightning storm to the east. Not too long after, the full moon emerged from the storm clouds and dominated the night sky for the remainder of the evening. It was a day of very contrasting nature. This trip was one of our favorite VRBO trips, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away from it all, and get into it all (nature). PS. There is a clock on the microwave that is not set, but otherwise there are no clocks in the Guesthaus that we were aware of. I must say, we never once gave time any thought until we had to leave. Great touch Tessy and Steve!

Great view at a really nice place

The Guest house was really nice. Had everything you would need to stay and good attention to detail. The view is the main selling point. Easy to hang out at, which is good because.... The drive up the mountain is no joke. A solid 5 miles of narrow dirt roads curving back and forth and up some pretty steep slopes. Plan on 20-25 minutes both up and down from the base of the mountain. You'll likely only be doing it once a day. This was the only downside to staying at this location.

Quite Time in the Mountains

We really enjoyed our stay at the Guesthaus and recommend it to others. Hosts Tess and Steve made sure that you have everything that you need for a great stay. We used the grill as well as did some basic cooking in the kitchen. A new larger refrigerator/freezer was recently installed. I suggest stocking up (or eating before you get up there) because the nearest grocery store is at least 25 minutes away. The drive up the mountain is steep but the gravel is well packed. We did not have any troubles going up in a pick-up. We did spend two days in Shenandoah National Park and looked forward to relaxing on the deck taking in the views while listening and watching the birds at the end of the day.
