The house was great for my family get together, 3 adults and 5 kids ages 4-8. Kids loved the game room and outdoor space. Kitchen was well equipped and lots of storage space for our supplies. Plenty of bathrooms and beds for our partcular needs. Great location that is convenient to many activities.

Perfect
We stayed here for my daughter's college graduation from JMU. Perfect for our family and grandparents. Plenty of room & bedrooms for everyone. Only one bedroom is on main level for anyone with elderly folks but it worked for our group. Sadly, we were out of the house more than we were in it due to events on campus but definitely a nice place to stay for a vacation. I would definitely book again.

Fun filled mountain getaway!
This was a fantastic home! The beds were comfortable (with plenty of extra pillows & blankets), towels were soft & the kitchen was loaded with all we could ask for (even a crock pot & two coffee makers which was a huge plus for a home that sleeps so many & we had several coffee drinkers in our group).
Everything was impeccably clean from top to bottom.
The mountain setting was beautiful and the gurgling waterfall feature near the porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Jason, our property manager, was incredibly responsive to any and all questions and/or requests.
We would love the opportunity to return and stay at this gem of a property again!
