Welcome to this thoughtfully remodeled 100 year-old foursquare home in the heart of Virginia's best place to experience the outdoors, 1 mile from Shenandoah National Park.
As you enter this 4 bedroom 2 bath home, you'll be greeted with historic charm while still having all the updates and modern luxuries you could want.
You are only:
Steps to Main St. shopping

15 minutes to Shenandoah River State Park
15 minutes to wine country
30 minutes to Luray Caverns
THE SPACE:
We take the sanitation and cleaning procedures of our home very seriously. All linens are laundered with every new stay, and all commonly touched surfaces and objects are sanitized with every clean.
----
If you want to work-from-home, you're covered with our 300 mbps wifi and FOUR dedicated workstations, one in each bedroom. Or completely disconnect by having a coffee or adult beverage on one of our three covered porch spaces.
----
From the moment you step into our spacious and thoughtfully designed space, we want you to feel at home. This all starts with how we set up our beds to maximize the space. The home is a 4br/2ba equipped with a king and three queen beds. Every bed has a memory foam mattress so you can sleep soundly after a day of experiencing Virginia's outdoors, and there's no need to draw straws on who sleeps where!
Your stay will also include the use of our record player, so bring your vinyls or feel free to use some of ours. The record player also has Bluetooth so you won't be limited on what you can listen to!
While we don't offer cable, the living room TV has a Roku set up in Guest mode for watching Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and any other streaming service. You will need to log-in to your own accounts, and all of the login and activity will be wiped on the day of your checkout.
We know how a good board game can bring family or friends together (or, sometimes apart - if you're unlucky enough to land on Boardwalk in Monopoly), and the dining table will do great double duty as a game table when not being used for meals. We also have included some of our favorite games for varying skill levels in case you didn't pack your own!
We also have a fully equipped kitchen, coffee and tea, two full bathrooms, free washer and dryer, and a dishwasher so you can take care of all your needs conveniently.
GUEST ACCESS:
You will have access to the entire property, including the entire home, driveway, patios, and backyard. The attic, basement, and garden shed will be locked and inaccessible for safety reasons.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
After the sun sets, cozy up by the fire and roast marshmallows! We have a functioning wood-burning fireplace inside and a firepit in the backyard so you can keep warm indoors and outside! If fire isn't your thing, don't worry - there is central heat throughout the house as well.
----
Sometimes you need to show off those cooking skills and try out that new recipe that keeps popping up on your feed, right? That's why our kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials you'll need to cook you and your family a nice dinner.
Of course, you'll only be a few steps from the restaurants downtown, so your options will always be open.
----
In an effort to maintain a secure property, the home is equipped with an exterior doorbell camera. The camera is located only on the exterior and is facing outward to only view the exterior, and there are no cameras on the inside. The neighborhood is very safe, but this helps us keep an eye on the property and help out if needed.

Cell reception is great within Front Royal itself, but quickly becomes spotty as you drive into Shenandoah National Park and/or the more rural areas around the valley. It is HIGHLY advisable that you download an Offline Map of the Shenandoah Valley area on your Maps app.
Here's how you do it:
1) Open Maps and search Front Royal.
2) Tap the word "Front Royal" on the bottom of the screen and this will expand the bottom half of the screen.
3) On the top right, you will see three dots. Tap this button and select "Download offline map."
4) Zoom out to download the entire Shenandoah Valley region. Make sure to capture everything between Winchester and Luray.
ABOUT FRONT ROYAL AND THE AREA:
Front Royal is located in the heart of Virginia's haven for the outdoors. Shenandoah National Park's main entrance is on the edge of town featuring the iconic Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Shenandoah River passes through town offering plenty of opportunities for kayaking, tubing, canoeing, sightseeing, wildlife watching, and much more.
Front Royal also has all of the amenities you need - this home is located walking distance to downtown shopping, restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy, etc. There are businesses in town that offer outdoor gear and boats and tubes for the river. There's also a great golf course in town, as well as museums and enchanting caverns.
Nearby and in the Shenandoah Valley there are a plethora of wineries, vineyards, breweries, whiskey distilleries, cute towns, Civil War history and battlefields, opportunities for hiking and biking, and so much more.
You'll have no shortage of things to do!
GETTING AROUND:
You'll have space for three vehicles in the driveway.
If you're planning on going to Shenandoah National Park or exploring much around the area, you will most definitely need a vehicle. The area doesn't have much public transportation. You can walk or Uber/Lyft around, but having a vehicle is much more convenient. There is a cute trolley that runs through Front Royal itself that can get you to many of the sights and businesses.
