Lovely cute home
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely country home in VA. We wanted to stay close to Shenandoah NP and it was a quick drive over. Any issues we had the property manager and owner were quick to respond. They’re very kind. The place was very clean and provided us with enough amenities for a long weekend.

One night after a wedding
Perfect spot to place ours heads on the pillow for the night after a wedding, and have coffee in the morning before heading out. Beautiful property.
Lovely property. The house fit us perfectly for what we needed. We had our two adult daughters with us, so the two twin beds in second bedroom were perfect. It was also close to the Shenandoah NP which we visited both days. There was a grocery store and places to eat not far up the road. If we were ever in the area again we would certainly stay here.

Tranquil Setting
Great location if you are looking for peace and quiet (deer, squirrels, one fat gopher) and close proximity to the App Trail/Shenandoah National Park. I always enjoy having a full sized fridge, oven, and microwave when on vacation or traveling in order to avoid going out to eat ($$$) all the time and packing on the pounds. Full sized W/D as well helps avoid having to pack stale smelling clothes from your hikes!

Unwind time with spouse, family or friends.
Great getaway - all the furnishings of home. Secluded, nobody around but us. Watch the Winter Season's sunset view surrounded by a fence of mountains. Great property to explore. Stairs to enter.
Peaceful, serene, perfect family getaway. Everything was thoughtful and well appointed. We were incredibly comfortable.

Perfect couples retreat--Outstanding Owner support
Loved from the moment we arrived; attractive, clean, modern, with excellent automatic outdoor lighting. Property was neat and well groomed. Wow, once we got inside! Great attention to detail, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom (large shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hair dryer, etc.) with towels fluffier that we have at home. Beds were nicely made with nice bedding, good lighting throughout, even had a flashlight by the bed. Living room was excellent place to relax in between activities at a nearby family reunion. Hubs loved that it was a large modern smart TV like he is used to, not a typical small old TV you find in some places. Owner was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to answer every question we had, no matter how nitnoid. Her Dad even came down from main house to help us get access to the basic TV channels; every TV app you can think of was loaded on the TV, but we needed the basic channels to get Cowboys football for hubs. We will be back! Thank you for our lovely stay!
