We had a very quiet and relaxing time, which is what we were looking for. Our small and small/medium size dogs were very comfortable in their crates and their beds, we grilled out both nights we were there, a Walmart is about 10 minutes away and cell and wifi are just fine. Clean and easy to get to off the road is no problem and the owners are a text away. Thanks for a great few days.

Bonnie and Doug were fantastic hosts. The cabin was clean and a perfect distance from Shenandoah hiking. The location was perfect. The cabin was small, but if traveling alone or with a partner you don’t need more space than that.

Check in was easy. It is a cute but cozy space right on the river. Very close to lots of hiking trails. The pets on the property were very sweet. There is ample kitchenware and cooking equipment but there was no permanent utensils. The fire pit worked well to cook over and had a great view. Would recommend for those interested in a place to crash after hiking in a cabin.

The property was exactly as advertised and shown in the photos. I really enjoyed myself there and I'm looking forward to going back. It was the peace and quiet I was looking for. Taz (their dog) was awesome, he was very friendly and obedient. He understood the rules if you said no, for food or going into the cabin he stopped. He was great company.

I chose to stay at Pop's Cabin due to it's peaceful environment. Except for the dogs, which I loved, I was left on my own. My recovery was quite and uneventful

The cabin was clean, adorable, and in a peaceful spot. Unfortunately, it didn't work for our family of three. The main reason is that my 9-year-old broke his femur a little over a month ago after we booked this place. We thought we could make it work going by the pictures but realized when we got there, he could not safely get around the property, and the cabin was too small for a family. I am aware some of these issues are on us but think the pictures were a little deceiving. We did leave after the first night and found a spot that better suited our needs. We let the host know we were leaving and why. She said she was sorry. I asked if we could get any sort of refund and never got a response. I knew it was a long shot to get any sort of refund, but it would've been nice to get some sort of response. Communication up until then had been great.To summarize, it is an adorable cabin on a beautiful property by the water. I think it would be perfect for an individual or a young couple who want a peaceful getaway. Given its small size, I don't think it's suitable for families.

Sheets seemed dirty, no top sheets, didn't smell clean.The sofa sleeper was AWFUL. The host needs to take a nap on it occasionally to see how bad it is. A/C needs cleaned. Need a longer string on ceiling fan, to turn off light. Melamine plates are not microwave safeWe're 2 older women, so top bunk was not an option. Stayed 1 night, then left. The property outside was beautiful but lack of inside pictures should have been a red flag. We'll have to be more diligent when booking.
