Overall great

We had a wonderful long weekend at this rental with two families (4 adults, 2 toddlers, and 1 dog). The house was as described—clean, comfortable, and very well-equipped. The kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, and we especially appreciated the thoughtful extras like puzzles, games, and toddler-friendly kitchenware. The beds and linens were super comfortable, and the deck was a beautiful spot to relax.The host was incredibly responsive. When we noticed the hot tub wasn’t quite clean enough to use upon arrival, they had someone come out within the hour to service it, which we really appreciated. They also answered questions in advance of our stay quickly and checked in prior to our arrival.A couple of minor suggestions: It would be great if they did a quick check before new guests arrive to make sure everything is in working order—some appliances (e.g., lock to the office, remote fan in bedrooms) had dead or low batteries and there weren’t extras available. We also had a small ant issue early on, likely due to some sealed food we left out, but the house had spray on hand and that took care of it for the rest of our stay.Overall, a great experience and we’d happily return!

Not completely as advertised

We stayed at this property over a three day weekend and our adult daughter was with us. We had no trouble finding the house using GPS and we were anxious to get inside and check it out after 8 hours on the road. The front and back yards were overgrown with grass and the shrubs needed trimming but there had been a lot of rain so we overlooked that. The inside was well appointed and was very clean. The kitchen has newish appliances that worked well and the beds were very comfortable with nice linens. The bathrooms were clean and very attractive. We rented this place specifically for the hot-tub and it was totally unusable. There was a scum on the top of the water and a noticeable dark ring around the sides. I called the rental agency to report this but was told we needed to work with the owner. I texted the owner and never heard back from him. We didn’t want any money back, we just wanted the hot-tub serviced so we could use it. The office area across the breezeway was operated by an electric lock but the batteries were dead so it was inaccessible. Several other remotes for fans, etc. had dead batteries. They advertised lots of games and outdoor toys that were not there and fresh coffee beans and a bowl of snacks ( small touches for their guest comfort) that were not there. This place was clean and comfortable but needs some TLC to make it a great rental.

Wonderful home-quiet yet convenient!

My husband and I stayed in this home for our annual anniversary trip. We love hiking and brought our dog with us for some active relaxation. This home was one of the best we have stayed in. It had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Front Royal where there was plenty to do; yet also steps away from a trail in the neighborhood, which intersects with the AT. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Needs Some TLC

The cabin is close to Shenandoah and convenient to a grocery store. The kitchen was nice and modern and had the cookware and essentials we needed to have most all our meals there. The dining area was spacious and comfortable. There were things listed as free conveniences that were not there: a welcome basket, firewood, etc. There were areas that needed more attention: the flag was pretty shredded, the hot tub had a green ring around it, the reclining deck chairs were not in good shape and there was very little privacy out there. (The hot tub is visible to the surrounding homes, which are close by. The cabin is not secluded at all.) It could be made into a charming getaway with some cleaning and care. If the owner does this, the place will be more cozy and comfortable. If screens are added to the deck, especially around the hot tub, it would feel more like a cool vacation home.

Great remote getaway

This place is wonderful. The hot tub, wood burning stove, fire pits are all just as stated and shown in pictures. Everything is clean. Beds are comfy and kitchen is well stocked. Bathrooms are updated. Master Bath is beautiful. The location is great for winery tours and hiking. If you enjoy shopping or nightlife, this would not be a good choice. We thought it was heaven. Just a warning that if you are older or have mobility issues, the stairs are narrow and all bedrooms are upstairs. We didn’t have any issues but it’s an older home so the stairs could be a challenge for some. Also, try to arrive before dark, especially if it’s rainy or foggy. It can be a challenge to find in a dark rainy night. Waze took us right to it but the turn into the driveway is easy to miss under those conditions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great private home in the mountains

My friend and I met at this property halfway in between our homes for a long weekend. It was remote, extremely clean and close to so many options for hiking, shopping, wineries and eateries. The host was fantastic with an early check in and helpful suggestions for places to go and things to do. The deck is full sun, so if going in the winter, you will have to wait until early evening, but its so peaceful!
