Mountaintop Ranch is a secluded ranch in the famous Blue Ridge Mountains that has been in the Cunningham Family for over 50 years.



Our picturesque trails pass through the high country, scenic mountain meadows and wooded areas of the famous Blue Ridge. The Ranch borders The Shenandoah National Park on 3 sides. You can take a 10 min. hike from the ranch and be within the boundaries of the remote regions of the National Park. It is a short 25 min drive to the Swift Run Gap entrance to Skyline Drive. We are also 17 miles from the four season resort, Massanutten.



The experience of staying in a log cabin is unique depending on the season . The main heat source for the cabin is a wood stove which makes for some very cozy nights. We also supply space heaters for colder months as an additional heat source.
